@@ahammedyaseen1580 it's not the same. Using a 5 volt brick on a 1.5 device would be a serious fire hassard. Don't ever over volt devices beyond their limits
I literally just caught this myself :D Everything USB is at minimum 5 volts to prevent overvolting (amperage amount doesn't matter as much), devices like MacBooks that use a higher voltage have some pretty nifty tech where the device first 'talks' to the charger to determine that it is actually safe to supply the full 9v/12v/ whatever the device wants
Important to note that even though the bandwidth wasn't particularly higher with ethernet the ping was significantly better with over 20% improvement. Would recommend using it in case you plan to stream games through a service like stadia (which can be sideloaded right now and should launch shortly)
Amazing how everything is covered so fluently without missing any detail. As if u r reading the receiver mind and anticipating any possible question or inquiry. Great work.
This is an extremely detailed and helpful video. My set up is a Tivo Stream 4K (very similar to CWGTV) with an extra USB-C port. It gets power from a micro USB port. My hub is an ESHOWEE with one ethernet, one HDMI, one SD card, one micro SD Card, one USB-C Power delivery and two USB 3 ports. I connected the hub to the USB-C port of the device. I tried a 32GB SD card a 16GB micro SD card and two USB flash drives, a 32GB Sandisk and an old 8GB Corsair. Like Tech with Brett, I can confirm that the TS4K recognized both flash drives and didn't recognize any of the SD and micro SD cards. I didn't try the ethernet port or any hard drives. The most iteresting part of this video, besides what works and what doesn't, was the power supplies. I tried two power bricks the weakest one was an 18 watt, and everything worked fine. Maybe the TS4K requires less power from the hub because it uses its own power adapter, so a regular 10 watt power brick might work, but I can't confirm this because I didn't try it. Thanks again for such a nice video.
I love my Anker stuff and I swear by it, I've had a battery and chargers from them since 2016 and they all work well, I can still charge my switch once and phone like 1 and a half times from the battery, and that charger cable never failed me and is one of the most durable cables I've used tho when I first got the other cable it was acting up but works so it may just have been my device
Very useful video. Was about to give up on my brand new ORICO typeC hub, until I got through your power supply explanation. Using a 45 watt charger from my Chromebook fixed everything. Ethernet + expanded storage is a basic requirement for me Thanks
& turn down animation scale to make the device a lil bit faster just don't put the first of three to 0.0 I'd leave that one on 0.05 because it affects your mouse courser but the second 2 can be set to 0.0 they're about half way down the dev options & all 3 of the settings end in animation 👍🏼✌🏼
@brett at 2:22 you say the brick is 5 amps and 1.5 volts. Its 5 volts and 1.5 amps. You can use any brick that outputs 5 Volts. So amperage will needs to be high enough to deliver enough power. Amperage will adjust it selfs to the needs of the device. If you were to connect a 10 Volts brick you would frie the chromecast. I think most usb power bricks have a 5 volt output but i would check it anyways before hooking it up. You dont want to burn down your house ;)
I was able to get a 1 TB Samsung T5 SSD drive to work. You need to delete the portion on the T5 in "disk management" (Windows 10). Plugging back into the hub will give you an option to format. Then it works!
Likely your external storage is formatted as NTFS but for Chromecast needs to be formatted as exfat. USB thumb drives are usually formatted in fat32 or exfat automatically for compatibility, but larger drives tend to get formatted as NTFS to better support the larger size. If you take those drives back into Windows and reformat them as exfat they should show up in your Chromecast and then be useable for media payback or internal device storage.
@@TechWithBrett honestly I couldn't say with certainty. I don't think the Chromecast OS would take advantage of anything NTFS offers anyways. ExFAT is just a way to get around the size limitation of FAT32 is my understanding. So other than that limitation it functions most for compatibility over performance or security. I've been using ExFAT on a large SSD with my Nvidia Shield and haven't seen any issues whatsoever.
thank you brett, very informative, i bought the new chromecast after watching your previous video, this video has so many useful information, file browser, speed test via web browser, file transfer from chromecast to card, didn’t know we could so much with the chromecast. so many things to try out after watching this video
the reason the card and drives aren’t showing is because of file system compatibility. the sdxc card and t7 ssd are pre-formatted in exfat and the hard drive is probably ntfs. most usb thumb drives are pre-formatted to fat32 which is limited in some ways but has the most compatibility. android phones usually support exfat drives natively but it recently came to my attention that the google pixel phone has this capability intentionally disabled, probably because google wants to push its paid subscription cloud storage service which is noted with the closing of the free google photos storage, (the reason for me to test that). this is most likely also the case with the chromecast and you might be able to get around it by re-formatting the drives to fat32, although you should first note its limitations and would need to temporarily offload any files on the drive that you don’t want to delete.
At 2.4 A at 5 V the maximum output is 12 Watts ,so it doesn't matter if it's USB C or not.The higher wattage and voltage is for a charging Protocol where faster charging times are achieved by putting higher voltage at lower Amps that's creates less heat and requiring the same wire gauge as used by most smart phones,some computers and some batteries.
Random question: Should it matter if USB C Hub has 100w or 87w USB C PD? Isn't the cable's amperage (3A or higher) or the power brick more important? I'm kinda confused about that... Why does the USB C hub have to support 100w PD?
Heat is the reason. If the hub is inline with a 100w device. Then the hub must be capable of managing the heat generated from an amperage draw that high.
Thanks so much, Brett!!! This answered pretty much all my questions about my new Chromecast with Google TV. I didn't even realize you could expand the (tiny) onboard storage that Google decided was enough for everybody. This helped me so much! I'll be sure to watch more of your videos in the future!! You just got a new subscriber! You're awesome! Keep it up, bro!!
Great video. The only thing that bothered me a little was when you mentioned the wattage of the power bricks, you can have a power brick that is 40v 100a, the Chromecast will only operate that brick at the 5v rating. Mainly because it doesn't support Quick charge or similar technology.

Glad you found it. I am currently using the official Ethernet adapter and my speeds have been around 300mbps which is much better then when I did my first tests.
@@TechWithBrett oh ok. On the video you had better speed with the dongle but I will check and see which one is better. I am trying to find a way to get a more steady internet connection while playing.
THANK YOU FOR THIS ⭐️ i just filled up my chromecast (same model as yours) with only Disney+, Netflix and HBO Max. I went ahead and deleted the TH-cam app on there too just to have a bit more space. Going to buy what you showed here. thanks again
I think you should test the network speed between a very fast known entity souch as a pc wired to the router/switch, and do it with iperf3 so you are not limited to external factors, you can see the bare network speed as iperf3 streams packets directly into memory.
6:29 That happened because the usb c dongle you used only supports 150 mbps ethernet. It can be seen that he used the maximum of his capacity because upload is symmetrical to the previous test.
Reason why the Duo video doesn’t look good on the TV is because your TV is likely a 4K while your front facing camera on your phone may not be able to capture video at that resolution. Using the rear facing camera that’s capable of recording video at 4K may work, though actual video quality may depend on video compression used by Duo.
Great video Brett!. I found in my ethernet testing, I was able to get around 300mb on wired. However, trying a different hub, this would drop to around 100mb. Both had gigabit ports but its clear not all hubs are built the same.
Very interesting. The most I have seen is 350mb on Wifi. Thanks for helping me figure out the adoptable storage, It would have been nice for at least 16GB internal storage.
Watched your excellent vid 👌 used the translate subtitles in Dutch. Bought the Anker 7-in-1 USB C Hub on Amazon (NL) and the Translon 65 watt charger. I'm connected now with the LAN and don't get connecting errors anymore what I had before with the wifi. I stream only the Viaplay (formula 1) and Amazon Prime. added the storage, and yes, only usb sticks 2.0 (FAT32) working, but it is expand with 32 Gb. The Translon 65 watt charger gives only that wattage, the chromecast wants.
Finally a way to have a webcam and make videocalls on the TV!! I would love to use this with my family on the other side of the world. It's a pitty that we can't use pther apps, or receive a call while watching, as the Duo app needs to be open...
I would like to let you know that the PD doesnt mean that the device can power others with type c, it actually is a power standard that came out a while back to allow usb type c to output upwards of 100w through the cable/connector.
I was able to get a micro SD card to work on mine but you have to format the memory card on a computer or Chromebook to fat32 first and then the Chromecast will recognize it to where you can format it to the Chromecast

Great video! About de power brick, you need to have attention only with the 5v Amps capability because the chromecast will only get 5v, no matter what else voltage options the brick can provide.
Outstanding and very informative video! I have had this Chromecast w/Google TV for a while, now that I just watched your video, I am going to order a couple things from Amazon and start enjoying it. TY!!!
I've got a Chromecast w/ GoogleTV and have hooked it up to a USB hub with power delivery (pd) and am using an SD card as extended internal storage. I've migrated most of my apps to the SD card. The thing is, sometimes the SD card randomly disconnects (like once every few hours), and I have to manually remove it and put it back in for the Chromecast to recognize it again. It's not a power issue, because I never got the "low power" message, but just to be sure, I bought a power adapter with higher wattage, but still have the same problem.
If you aren't getting great speeds from the gig ethernet cable, its a flaw in the USB hub. Perhaps its not creating a separate subnet so it drops to the lowest denominator (100mb probably) for all devices. (this is the equivalent of using an ethernet hub vs an ethernet switch) There are other videos where different USB hubs were able to deliver way faster speeds than what you got from your test. If you have a choice between a cable or wireless and there aren't any enough differences between the two to make a difference, the cable is the less prone to error and is the best choice.
Just because I dig options (and because I'm cheap), I can run music, pics, and video off a jump drive through the USB3 port on my SONY Bluray player wired via HDMI to my TV without any additional cost(s). And as an aside, it also plays DVD's. Doesn't expand Chromecast storage, but does accommodate much of the functionality you covered here.
this video was so incredible use full you have no idear getting my dongle tomorow and ready to to set it all up i really learnd allot from your video thank you so so much!! keep it up!!! much love from the netherlands
Would you be able to list out the USB Hubs that failed during your testing please? I have just ordered a Baseus 7 in 1 fabric, before I watched this youtube clip, now I am a little bit worried, lol. thank you for sharing your experience Brett
Based on this review, I got myself a Chromecast (Black Friday had a great deal!), and it's better than my experiences with the Amazon Fire Stick and Roku combined.
Functionality can be further improved, by including audio Downmix to stereo and DRC (dynamic range compression) off options, when multichannel audio content is played and sent to other audio equipment via Bluetooth.
I do have to say that the chromecast is quite a cool little device. I currently have a smart tv but I might pick one up when my tv inevitably gets outdated
I've got a chrome cast connected to my home network. I can scroll through the network directories to access digital media. Using USB storage via USB hub...I wouldn't have thought about doing something like that. That's neat.

Thanks Brett for the great tips and TechDoctorUK (who I'm also subscribed to) as well! You guys make it easy to get the most out of your Chromecast TV. I wish I hadn't cheaped out initially and tried the UTechSmart hub (which was $20 CDN cheaper) which kept losing ethernet connection even with the Anker 45w PD. I returned it today and when I got back, the Amazon package with the Anker hub you recommended was sitting by my door waiting for me. LOL Now if Google would just fix the damn intermittent audio dropouts on surround sound! Anyone else experience this?
Does google tv dongle support connecting other video inputs via the dongle? For example connecting Nintendo switch via hdmi input on usb c dongle and selecting the hdmi input to display within google tv interface? Thank you
Does anybody know how big of a storage drive you can actually add to it. In other words how big can you make it with it still actually working for the additional storage. Thanks so much for the help. I figured that the speed is the only 2.0 I might as well just get a 2.0 with the biggest size I can get maybe or I could get a three.0 I don't know we'll see.
Excellent question. I'd like to know that as well. If possible, I'd like to have my entire digital library downloaded in best quality on an external drive so I wouldn't have to worry about losing quality while streaming
@@TechWithBrett Hi. I have been trying to do video calls on my chromecast with google tv, via google duo, but have been facing some issues. The microphone on the chromecast remote doesn't work i.e. others can't hear me during call but I can hear them. I have allowed the mic permissions for the app and even though the mic works flawlessly with google assistant, it doesn't work with Duo. I even unplugged my webcam, restarted the device and the tried to do just some voice calls but still same result, the mic on the remote doesn't work. I have searched on Google and some answers came up saying that you can't use your remote mic for video calls, but then I see TH-camrs like you having no problems whatsoever. If you can help that would be awesome! Plus my webcam's video quality is a bit blurry compared to when I connect it to my PC.
Do all the Chromecast models still allow anyone on the same network to basically "jump into" anything you're casting and watch whatever you're watching? And also control from their phone anything through the casted device? I couldn't believe that was possible and that they weren't password protected somehow.
Anker is definitely the mvp brand of good price to performance/features ratio. Been using them for many years, they seem to be good at everything they do.
Amazing! How did you manage to connect a SD Card. My Chromecast only shows a message similar to "SD Card has been correctly removed" even when it is still plugged. Another problem I had is that I selected my pendrive as removable (in order to conect it to pc and CCGTV) but now google TV apps only have reading permission, not writing.
This is the limitation, this video have 1 year. After few month I tried and no more works. I think the Chromecast firmware update remove the SD card and USB external connection. Now is very very difficult to get access to external sd or USB flasdrives. 1 in 20 is your chance after reset chromecast. Even if you get access After reset or simply restart the TV your connection can be lost. "Congratulations" to Google
@techwithbrett, have you tried putting a usb mic on the type C hub, so that the sound quality for the call is louder and better? Or will it still use the camera’s mic for a google duo call?
Here's some info, (I) means 1, (II) means 2, (III) Means 3, (IV) means 4 and (V) means 5!. (I is Plugging Anker to Chromecast) (II is making network with ethernet) (III is making storage with 4 devices) (IV is connecting with Google Duo) (last one is V Is Plugging/Connecting to Keyboard and Mouse) I just tried to Step five: (V)

ah yes I see you're a man of culture
Outstanding and very informative video! I have had this Chromecast w/Google TV for a while, now that I just watched your video, I am going to order a couple things from Amazon and start enjoying it. TY!!!
Your wifi test killed me. In Australia I've got like 40 download and 5 upload 😭 and we invented wifi too. Imma cry
I should probably stop complaining about my 35 upload then...
Bluddy Pommies , check out the Ethernet 7 cables
Well that's better than in here

Bad luck bro. Mine is 98 down and 20 up. All comes down to how far you are from the node etc
40 down is good in Australia. I've had 18 down for 6 months...
Stupid Turnbull, doubled the cost and halved the delivery. The OG NBN was much better.
Man, I can't wait to waste my whole weekend setting all of this up.
Got Rick Rolled in a tech tips video. I'm not even mad 😆
I've got a Chromecast w/ GoogleTV and have hooked it up to a USB hub with power delivery (pd) and am using an SD card as extended internal storage. I've migrated most of my apps to the SD card.
The thing is, sometimes the SD card randomly disconnects (like once every few hours), and I have to manually remove it and put it back in for the Chromecast to recognize it again.
It's not a power issue, because I never got the "low power" message, but just to be sure, I bought a power adapter with higher wattage, but still have the same problem.
I used his links and still have low power. Did not work!!
If you aren't getting great speeds from the gig ethernet cable, its a flaw in the USB hub. Perhaps its not creating a separate subnet so it drops to the lowest denominator (100mb probably) for all devices. (this is the equivalent of using an ethernet hub vs an ethernet switch) There are other videos where different USB hubs were able to deliver way faster speeds than what you got from your test. If you have a choice between a cable or wireless and there aren't any enough differences between the two to make a difference, the cable is the less prone to error and is the best choice.
So what brand of usb hub is the best.for. the best potential of ethernet cable
Just because I dig options (and because I'm cheap), I can run music, pics, and video off a jump drive through the USB3 port on my SONY Bluray player wired via HDMI to my TV without any additional cost(s). And as an aside, it also plays DVD's. Doesn't expand Chromecast storage, but does accommodate much of the functionality you covered here.
10/10, very informative Rick Roll.
this video was so incredible use full you have no idear getting my dongle tomorow and ready to to set it all up i really learnd allot from your video thank you so so much!! keep it up!!! much love from the netherlands
Would you be able to list out the USB Hubs that failed during your testing please? I have just ordered a Baseus 7 in 1 fabric, before I watched this youtube clip, now I am a little bit worried, lol. thank you for sharing your experience Brett
Based on this review, I got myself a Chromecast (Black Friday had a great deal!), and it's better than my experiences with the Amazon Fire Stick and Roku combined.
Functionality can be further improved, by including audio Downmix to stereo and DRC (dynamic range compression) off options, when multichannel audio content is played and sent to other audio equipment via Bluetooth.
I do have to say that the chromecast is quite a cool little device. I currently have a smart tv but I might pick one up when my tv inevitably gets outdated
The usb 2.0 external hard drives needs a app to recognize NTFS partitions
So if using external hard drive with 3.0 .. it will recognize right?
I've got a chrome cast connected to my home network. I can scroll through the network directories to access digital media.
Using USB storage via USB hub...I wouldn't have thought about doing something like that. That's neat.
Has anyone tested any other cameras or is there more or less universal support for the most common brands?
I bought Logitech 925e, it doesn't work.
I guess if IT works for Chrome os, IT might work
Liam's to bed early last night to see you too
Hi to work tomorrow morning
AWESOME video Brutha! Thank you! Can't wait to get my Chromecast now! I need this for my DUO!

Dang, this video is so thorough and rich with tips and tricks I had to like and leave a comment!
Already doing this but still watching to see what else I missed
Excelente video, gracias por tu tiempo y por todo la información que aportas, hoy he aprendido algo nuevo. Buen día 😘
Thanks Brett for the great tips and TechDoctorUK (who I'm also subscribed to) as well! You guys make it easy to get the most out of your Chromecast TV. I wish I hadn't cheaped out initially and tried the UTechSmart hub (which was $20 CDN cheaper) which kept losing ethernet connection even with the Anker 45w PD. I returned it today and when I got back, the Amazon package with the Anker hub you recommended was sitting by my door waiting for me. LOL
Now if Google would just fix the damn intermittent audio dropouts on surround sound! Anyone else experience this?
Awesome! Your vid answered all my questions at this point. Thanks!

😁😁😁😁
The stock Nintendo Switch dock power cord and the Genki Covert Hub both provided enough power.
Does google tv dongle support connecting other video inputs via the dongle? For example connecting Nintendo switch via hdmi input on usb c dongle and selecting the hdmi input to display within google tv interface? Thank you
You can pair up a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse in the remote settings.
Does anybody know how big of a storage drive you can actually add to it. In other words how big can you make it with it still actually working for the additional storage. Thanks so much for the help. I figured that the speed is the only 2.0 I might as well just get a 2.0 with the biggest size I can get maybe or I could get a three.0 I don't know we'll see.
Excellent question. I'd like to know that as well. If possible, I'd like to have my entire digital library downloaded in best quality on an external drive so I wouldn't have to worry about losing quality while streaming
Great video! You really did make an in-depth review of it and that is super helpful
Rick rolled in 2020, nice sense of humor there. Wasn't expecting that in a how-to vid 👍
@@khalidbaha1335 wtf
Thanks for the heads up
Hahaha 😂 remember when people used to do click bate like videos that would have Rick.
There is no Rick Roll
@@JestersDeadUK In order to be Rick Rolled, one must be attentive to be Rick Rolled...
OUUUMMM...
Brilliant video man, will definitely be getting some of these when it arrives to make more out it
Sick! You a genius bruh.
Btw... 2nd!
Too bad wireless DeX doesn't work with the Chromecast. That's why I'm buying an AnyCast M9 Plus hoping it has support for Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC).
Haha! Thanks for the title help.
@@MegasXLR what does wireless dex work with firestick
@@TechWithBrett Hi. I have been trying to do video calls on my chromecast with google tv, via google duo, but have been facing some issues.
The microphone on the chromecast remote doesn't work i.e. others can't hear me during call but I can hear them. I have allowed the mic permissions for the app and even though the mic works flawlessly with google assistant, it doesn't work with Duo. I even unplugged my webcam, restarted the device and the tried to do just some voice calls but still same result, the mic on the remote doesn't work.
I have searched on Google and some answers came up saying that you can't use your remote mic for video calls, but then I see TH-camrs like you having no problems whatsoever.
If you can help that would be awesome!
Plus my webcam's video quality is a bit blurry compared to when I connect it to my PC.
Do all the Chromecast models still allow anyone on the same network to basically "jump into" anything you're casting and watch whatever you're watching? And also control from their phone anything through the casted device? I couldn't believe that was possible and that they weren't password protected somehow.
Wow - every detail appreciated. I get my new CC with Type-C tomorrow. 😍
It seems to me. That the Chromecast doesn't show storage unless its format into Fat32. exFat and NTSC dont show up.
it doesnt show up for me even with fat32 format
Anker is definitely the mvp brand of good price to performance/features ratio. Been using them for many years, they seem to be good at everything they do.
The SD card would have worked if formatted to FAT32.
Thanks admin for explain very clarify and easy understand function GG chromecast with TV
Amazing! How did you manage to connect a SD Card. My Chromecast only shows a message similar to "SD Card has been correctly removed" even when it is still plugged. Another problem I had is that I selected my pendrive as removable (in order to conect it to pc and CCGTV) but now google TV apps only have reading permission, not writing.
This is the limitation, this video have 1 year. After few month I tried and no more works. I think the Chromecast firmware update remove the SD card and USB external connection. Now is very very difficult to get access to external sd or USB flasdrives. 1 in 20 is your chance after reset chromecast. Even if you get access After reset or simply restart the TV your connection can be lost. "Congratulations" to Google
Cant believe I got Rick Rolled mid video 🤦♂😂😂
9:09 🤠
Brilliant! Not specifically looking to do this at this time but great to know it's an option!
Excellent video ,thanks for sharing, appreciated and keep posting your videos.
Updates: HDMI port does nothing. Storage needs to have FAT32 format to work. What other questions do you have?
Any usb tv tuner support?
Have you tried Zoom with the Logitech webcam? Never knew the CC can do that.
@@lionn_ I could not get Zoom to work through the web or by side loading the app. I have heard others have found a way but it took too much work.
So means you cant view 4k videos from a usb drive since fat32 have a file size limit...
Can you play TH-cam videos at more then 1x speed?
Very informative, thanks. New subscriber here from the Philippines.
9:09 got rickrolled ,😂😔
It's funny he rick rolled us cuz my neighbor rick rolls our neighborhood every Sunday.
Thanks Brett for the tutorial. 😊 You just got a subscriber👍
@techwithbrett, have you tried putting a usb mic on the type C hub, so that the sound quality for the call is louder and better? Or will it still use the camera’s mic for a google duo call?
Were you able to figure this out?
Here's some info, (I) means 1, (II) means 2, (III) Means 3, (IV) means 4 and (V) means 5!.
(I is Plugging Anker to Chromecast) (II is making network with ethernet) (III is making storage with 4 devices) (IV is connecting with Google Duo) (last one is V Is Plugging/Connecting to Keyboard and Mouse) I just tried to Step five: (V)
We got rick rolled!
Excellent information and very clear, easy to follow instructions. And very fun learning from Hawkeye 😉 (I'm sure you're used to hearing you look like Jeremy Renner!)
Could You let me know is it possible to play 4k movies from external memory or drive(kind of blue ray highest quality files around 60gigs or more). Would the HDR and Dolby Atmos works ?
I'll do some testing. The largest file I have is 24GB. I think this might be dependent on the files browser app you use.
@@TechWithBrett Please reply. I also want to know whether it works. many thanks....
