Chromecast
With Chromecast, you can enjoy
your favorite online entertainment
on your HDTV—movies, TV shows,
music, and more from Netflix,
YouTube, Hulu Plus, Google Play
Movies and Music, and Chrome.
Chromecast automatically updates
to work with a growing number of
apps.
Chromecast
• Manufactured by Google.
• Available at many stores and on-line
• Priced at $35 – almost an impulse buy
• Chromecast works with devices you already own,
including Android tablets and smartphones,
iPhones®, iPads®, Chrome for Mac® and Chrome
for Windows®.
• Browse for what to watch, control playback, and
adjust volume using your device.
What is “Casting”
Casting to your TV is a simple way to use your
phone or tablet as a remote for your TV.
To cast to your TV from your smartphone, tablet or
laptop, simply open up a Cast supported app, press
the Cast button and the Cast button will turn blue,
letting you know you're connected.
Once you are connected, you can cast videos,
movies and TV shows directly to your TV.
What’s in the Box?
How small is it?
Connecting the Chromecast
• Connect Chromecast to
an HDMI port
• Use the short cable to
connect Chromecast to
the USB port on your
TV.
Alternatively, connect to
a power point
Setting up Chromecast
• Before you begin
the setup process,
make sure you are
connected to a Wi-
Fi network.
• Once your
Chromecast is
plugged in, you
should see the
Chromecast home
screen.
Set up your Tablet – Android or iPad
• Download and install the Chromecast App
• Launch the Chomecast App
• Select the Chromecast device you want to
set up from the list and follow the prompts
on the screen to complete the setup of your
Chromecast
• You will then see the Chromecast Home
Screen with your Wi-Fi network name
referenced on the bottom left-hand side.
The TV Screen
Set up your Laptop
• Install the Chrome Browser on your laptop
(Ensure you're using the latest version of Chrome
by navigating to Settings > About Google
Chrome and update your Chrome browser to the
latest version if necessary.)
Checking if Chrome is “up to date”

The Good Apps
The “Supporting” Apps
Chromecast – the Good
• The Google Chromecast is a very cheap
wireless video dongle that streams Netflix,
YouTube, Pandora, Google Music, and HBO
• Go to your TV using Android or iOS tablets
as remotes, with Android users also getting
access to Google Movies & TV.
• Its small size hides neatly behind your TV
and makes it easy to take with you when
traveling.
Chromecast – the Bad
• The lack of a dedicated remote also means you
always need a smartphone or tablet nearby.
• And for $15 more, you can get a Roku box with
many more channels and an onscreen interface
for a more traditional TV experience.
Chromecast – the Bottom Line
• Google's $35 Chromecast stick is a cheap
and easy way to add streaming video and
music to your TV.
• Google is adding new features and apps
continuously, and is now incorporating
Chromecast into newer TVs – Samsung and
LG
• It still isn't as fully featured as similarly
priced Roku boxes.
Now to Apple TV
