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!!!

Good Device for TVs
|Posted .Much faster device than the 1st generation. Can actually use to view YouTube Tv!!!! Most Smart TVs don’t have the YouTube Tv. This is very important if you pay for that subscription! Hope the next generation device, comes without a power cord. Didn’t see the need for it! Guess it’s all part of the plan to keep us ( the consumer) to keep spending $$!

Created Smart Mirror with it
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Ease of use, Set upI bought this as an alternative to using Raspberry Pi for a smart mirror - and it's great. For $30 you can stream any computer or mobile device to your TV and control the sound and playback. It's not a Roku or Apple TV or Fire TV which manages your 'stations' and such. It just lets you Stream Cast (or ChromeCast) whatever device you have to the ChromeCast (provided the device supports chromecasting - all Google Chrome browsers do and most mobile apps do). Love it. Worked first time out of the box and very easy to set up. Innovative and simple. It probably should cost 33%-50% less. But $30 is not bad.

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.

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: QuestionDoes this allow you to access the google play store apps? Trying to directly connect a play store app to my tv so I do not have to mirror from my phone to the tv.
Asked by apps.
- A:Answer Not all apps are Chromecast compatible. Most media apps are. Some games are. Most presentation apps are. If your app is Chromecast compatible, it can cast directly, without screen mirroring or second monitor. Google Slides will allow you to present on a Chromecast, with speaker notes on your device. You cannot load/install a Google PlayStore app (or any app) on the Chromecast. You install your apps where you normally would, just once, and if it is Comcast compatible, it will stream its contents directly to the Chromecast device, from the original source, (not your device) so your Android/Chromebook/Chrome browser will not be necessary after the stream starts, (except to possibly control the stream; pause, rewind, skip, etc.). It is a different concept than Roku/Fire Stick/AppleTv, where one way have an app installed on their phone, and again on the cost device, with o linked account. Chromecast allows the app to be loaded only once, then cast to the stick, no account linking needed.

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.
