Q: QuestionCan you still cast to this device to whatever dumb tv it is plugged into?

Asked 3 years ago by HighTechDummy.

• A:Answer Yes. Chromecast is a streaming device designed to work optimally on any display with HDMI input, regardless of TV brand. You need a mobile device to set up Chromecast, and to cast any of your cast-enabled video streaming apps that are already on your mobile device (phone or tablet) or computer and stream them on a bigger screen for a better experience.

Q: Questioncan i plug the dongle type A USB power cable into the USB TV port? instead plugging to power adapter into socket..??

Asked 1 year ago by Filipino.

• A:Answer Hi there! Thanks for your question. While it's possible to connect the Chromecast directly to your TV's USB-A port using the USB-A end of the cord, we don't recommend it. The reason is that the TV's USB port might not give enough power for the Chromecast itself to function properly, it might cause a problem on both devices in the long run — We hope you find this information helpful.

Asked 3 years ago by AHouseWife.

• A:Answer Use an HDMI cable with an adapter that also supports charging instead of any stick. You'll probably be glad you did. Then you can display whatever is seen on your tablet or phone screen.
