Great Upgrade
|Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5What a handy little gadget for those of us who are looking to dabble our toes in the smart world without getting drenched! This was the greatest thing about upgrading to a flat screen TV!! We are a Google house so this was certainly a MUST HAVE!! Simply plug it in and follow the prompts and within minutes you are watching your Google photos on the BIG SCREEN! We love to watch movies and shows thru various TV apps, and you can control it thru your Google Home with your voice. For those of us that don't want to get bogged down with too much tech in our homes... this is the answer!!!

Q: QuestionDoes the Chromecast have an external power supply or is it powered when you plug it into the TV?
Asked by Rad1stof3.
- A:Answer YES It gives you two options, fortunately: Plug both ends of chromecast into your tv.... one hdmi and one USB port necessary on tv to do this or Plug the hdmi side into an hdmi port on the tv and use the removable power cord to connect to a power source .

Q: QuestionCan this be used with computers and tablets as well as phones? Can it be used to show presentations such as PowerPoint and Keynote? Thank you!
Asked by Steve.
- A:Answer As far controlling devices? Yes, as long as your computer or tablet is compatible(it would have to be really ancient for it not work) and are using compatible app. I personally use videostream for movies on my PC because it comes with a mobile app, meaning I watch on my TV movies that are saved on my pc, using my phone(there are probably newer/better apps out now, but I've never felt the need to look). Chromecast can also mirror a device's screen so it would show a PowerPoint presentation on a TV if it is also on the computer screen that is being mirrored. You would still have to use your computer to change slides, though.

Answered by nsenterprisegroup
Q: QuestionI was wondering if you can use this device on any TV and with any phone? what I mean exactly is can I remove it from one TV and take it to a different house with a different TV and use it with somebody else's phone?
Asked by Jenn.
- A:Answer Yes, this device can be moved to a different TV and used with any phone that fits the requirements. That being said, the issue is that it needs to be connected to wireless internet to work, so you would have to join it to the wireless at the other house, and connect again. This sometimes requires a factory reset of the device to accomplish.

Q: QuestionMy apologies for not being tech savvy...no home wifi available in area, can i still cast to tv just using cell phone data? Do i NEED wifi to cast?
Asked by Rod.
- A:Answer This device needs a Wi-Fi network to connect to. As long as your phone is able to act as a mobile hotspot, you will be able to connect the device to the Wi-Fi network generated by your phone. This will use your phone data plan.

Q: QuestionI have metro pcs and it came with Amazon movies with the plan, if I buy the Chromecast will I be able to watch the Amazon movies on my TV through the Chromecast? Also I don't have WiFi but I do have a hotspot on my phone will that work for a WiFi connect?
Asked by Sj.
- A:Answer You would want to connect the hotspot to your Chromecast first. Once that is done then you would mirror your phone to the Chromecast through your Google home app on your phone and then it would show the Amazon or anything else on your phone to your TV.
