Perfect tutorial. Perfect pace. This is exactly the kind of video I like. I don't want a bunch of silly stuff. I learned everything I need to know in the minimum amount of time. Painless. Thanks!
Excellent work Andy, I bought a Chromecast something like 4 yrs ago but never used it , had put the device away somewhere not sure how to set it up,... Finally the other day I decided to put it to use and. your tutorial was just what I needed. Now some folks like yours truly who are not all that tech savvy will find the pace a little fast but no matter, just play it over again, Lol. Thanks !
Is there a way to bypass needing a WiFi network and using you're smartphone's own data connection with out relying on a WiFi network? I have my phone's WiFi set to communicate with chromecast but for now I don't have any WiFi in my house and was hoping to just be able to use my phone's own data network. Any help on this?

I purchased a Chromecast Ultra and plugged it into my TV, which is eight years old. I know I have it plugged into the correct HDMI port and the TV is set to that channel. But I don't see the setup screen. Is it because my television is so old?
Not to br rude but How in the hell does my device cast to my tv I bout this thing and been trying to connection to tv however something is going wrong somehow. What can you tell me t9 get this chromecast to work without home WiFi I just to mirror my phone NOT PAY for tv streams. Thank you.
Hello and thanks for the video! My problem is that after watching some TH-cam videos, I wanted to go back to TV. I disconnected Chrome Cast from my phone but it won't give me any control to the TV. The remote won't work and trying the menu from the TV won't work either. My regular input port is HDMI1 and Chrome Cast is in HDMI2 slot. Do I need to just unplug the Chrome Cast stick from the back of the TV in order to watch the television? Thanks in advance for any advice you have!
dmcite No you shouldn't have to remove the Chromecast from the TV. You should have control of the TV like normal after disconnecting via your phone. Not sure why it's doing that.
Hi... My old monitor only have VGA , and the red, white, and yellow RCA ... My question is... Can I use male VGA to female HDMI converter to connect chromecast on my monitor?
I have a friend house sitting... How can he use my chromecast ? Does he need to do anything special to use his iPad or android phone? Do I have to add a device?
Hi Andy, is it like this : The casting icon will appear on every app that supports Chromecast if the phone is connected or the casting icon appears even though we have no Chromecast. Your answer would be very appreciated. TQ
Yes the casting icon appears only in apps that support Chromecast but the casting icon only appears when you are connected to the same WiFi as your Chromecast. I hope that makes sense.
Andy, can I cast from Xfinity on my iPad to a TV? My home is in Colorado, and I’m currently in Arizona and where I’m at doesn’t have any cable service.

hey I found one of these and I have it hooked up to my TV just like you said do and everything is working good but one question is the only way I can watch something on the TV using this is to use my phone tablet or laptop or can I not use any of those and just use my remote for the TV to find stuff on Comcast what does everything has to be streamed from the computer phone or tablet
I have a Samsung series 5 TV. For some reason when I go to the App Store on my TV it does not show an app for SLING TV (when I go to the App Store on my other Samsung tv which is series 6 TV, there is an app for Sling TV). So I’ve been googling trying to find out why I can’t get the app. I did find out that I can add the app to my Chromecast on my Samsung series 5. But, I have been trying to figure out how to do it for about two weeks. I am so frustrated. Could you please help me figure out how to add the Sling TV app to my Chromecast on my Samsung series 5 TV? I would greatly appreciate your help! thank you!

Nice quick rundown, but I'm trying to figure out how to set up the TV Queue for Chromecast. Do I need TH-cam Red? Can I set up a queue and have it download for watching later? I have slow WiFi and get lots of buffering pauses. Do you have suggestions for these issues?
Hi, I wondering if you know how to change your chromecasts wifi network when you move? I have had a chromecast forever love it now I moved and cant figure out how to update?

william mulholland Here's the list of apps that are compatible with Chromecast so far. Plus they're constantly adding new ones. www.google.com/chrome/devices/chromecast/apps.html
Just the Chrome browser but there are extensions like this that will stream videos you have saved on your laptop/computer: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/videostream-for-google-ch/cnciopoikihiagdjbjpnocolokfelagl?hl=en

can we have application loaded/installed in the chromecast so that we can surf the loaded applications without the use of smart phone or tablets or laptops?
Abdulhadi .Ali Yes you'll need a high speed internet connection with a download speed of at least 5 Mbps for optimum performance. I've seen it used on a 1 Mbps download speed though so it will work on lower speeds, just not as well (longer load and buffer times)
Hi, I have google fiber, and when I saw this chromecast on sale at Best Buy I thought that I needed it.I followed the instructions, but when it got to the connect screen it just sat there.

So what I find interesting is that now my tv and cell phone now does what I thought chromecast was suppose to do.I know that google fiber has so,e of these functions built into their setup. Could there have been a conflict with the two? Your thoughts
I thought that I could use any app that's on my phone. I was trying to use an app but it didn't show the chromecast icon. This isn't used like mirroring your phone to your tv?
Hi. Great tutorial thanks.However despite getting my Nexus 7 and smartphone streaming, My computer(windows 7) cannot see the chromecast despite only being a few feet away.I have tried everything suggested on the google help site(Re-booting devices etc) but nothing.?..Do I need a bluetooth enabled Laptop ?. Thanks for any help
Lord Lucan No it doesn't use Bluetooth, just WiFi. As long as your computer is connected to the same WiFi network as your Chromecast and you're using the Chrome browser then you should see it. I'm not sure what the issue is.
Good video. I have this version but not the newer disk version. Not sure of the difference. However, I prefer the Amazon FireStick. No phone required, comes with a remote. Has its own wifi connection.
i have a amazon fire stick can i add crome cast to my fire stick and enjoy casting from my comp. phone ect how would i do this and where do i get the crome cast down load...
Yea you need wifi to connect the chromecast to your phone but I'm sure theres a device where you can connect to your TV via bluetooth. Try searching on Google about it.
I'm having trouble hooking up my nexus 7 (2013) to my Chromecast, I got my tablet hooked up with WiFi but do sent connect. It takes my inf but then says connect to Ethernet. Can you please help. Thank you.
Edgar Martinez Do you mean you're having trouble setting up the Chromecast for the first time or you're having trouble casting from your Nexus to a Chromecast that's already set up?
I'm thinking of cutting my cable soon. The thing is my cable and Internet are combined. If I did this, could I use a hotspot device to get Internet and than stream using this method or would it not work using a hotspot device?
caramelgoddess89 You could use a 3G/4G/LTE hotspot. Just make sure it has good service and fast download speed. But usually hotspots charge more for the data you use, and if you're streaming a lot of video you may surpass your data limit easily with a hotspot. You could just cancel your cable but keep your internet. That would be easier.
Can you hard wire your phone to Chromecast? I want to use the data on my phone and I do not have wifi. I have hotspot and that helps but I have one 5 giga while I have unlimited data.
Get the lightning cord if you have a iPhone 7 and above! About 6 inches long; it looks like a box with a iPhone port! It’s cheaper at Walmart about $39 dollars! It connects to your HDMI end and then plug the other end into the TV! Goodluck…
