Q: QuestionThis seems like a basic question, but I have not found it clearly asked or answered. Will Chromecast with Google TV support the way we've always used our 1st-gen Chromecast, by letting us cast from a phone app, a phone screen, or Chrome tab on a PC?

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes it will, as long as you make sure you are on the right HDMI channel (that mistake is made often especially if you never used one before) it works the exact same way as the first gen chromecast did.
