Hi @Wolvie503. Thanks for sharing this idea about being able to stream your workout and meditation videos through other devices. Our web API and smartwatch SDK are open which means that the service you are wanting can actually integrate with Fitbit. We’d encourage you to make this suggestion to the service and direct them to our existing API and SDK and resources such as the web dev API community. You will likely be able to email them via their contact us page or customer support, or they may have their own ideas board like this. Or encourage them to reach out to Fitbit directly. Thanks for your participation in the Feature Suggestion forums, we look forward to making Fitbit more useful for you.

I think you should be able to stream workout videos from any web browser, and not just in the app on a phone or tablet.

Hi @JuliaM123, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see stream workout videos on other devices. This feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here. While we don’t currently have plans to release this feature, we always appreciate the passion and creativity that comes out of this Community. Since we know this idea is important to many of you, we have left voting open to continue tracking interest and will post another update if anything changes.

While it's not the ideal format, I was able to download the Fitbit app onto my Chromebook, and then, using an HDMI cord, connect my Chromebook to the TV and run the workouts that way.  The picture is small, which isn't my favorite, but not nearly as small as trying to do a dance workout and seeing my phone at the same time.

I would love to get a chromecast button in the videos that are in the app. You have put a lot of great workout videos out there, but I can't barely see it on my small smartphone screen. Should be a great add-on IMHO.
