I use AppleTV for this, but that's because my phone and laptop are both from Apple. I know Chromecast can do this and also Amazon Fire (firestick, fire TV) depending on what device you want to stream from.
(Like most Apple things, AppleTV is very nice and very easy to use with other Apple devices, and is much more expensive than other brands.)

I tap the casting icon on the apps like YT or Netflix and it automatically connects to my TV via wifi. The icon looks like a box with 3 semicircles in the corner (like sound waves). That may be a bad description but you can Google what it looks like.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 and the TVs are Samsung and Vizio. Make sure you turn on SmartView on your phone so it will find your TV. |

Yes I get YouTube just from my tv. But I want to go to a website that has those little video and make it show on my tv. I’m looking in the Firesticks info now and the Apple TV. So frustrating

ChromeCast for the gym TV (older TV without bluetooth)

I hope the new one works for you!
The Apple TV box will only mirror from Apple devices (computer, phone, iPad). You have to put the device into AirPlay mode and it should find the AppleTV and mirror to it.
