Spinoff - craftsy and other video sites - has anyone tried this with chromecast?

I was thinking about getting the Google Chromecast and if these work through it, it'll probably put me over the edge. Has anyone tried it with sites like Craftsy?

ok thanks. Maybe I'll find out if there's a way to hook up my computer to the tv. The computer has an hdmi port so maybe...

If you have a newer television, it shouldn't be a problem. I connect my Kindle Fire to my television and watch Craftsy that way - it's great!

Can you watch Craftsy videos with the roku? I have a roku box but don't see a craftsy channel on it. I have playon but they also don't have a craftsy channel.
