do I need to run Google Chrome to use chromecast null

You only need google chrome if you are looking to do things from your computer. If you are using your phone or tablet then the individual apps support casting like YouTube and Netflix.

you must have it on your laptop if you want to mirror your screen. other than that, just have the chromecast app on your mobile device and then it works with all your other apps( netflix, hulu, youtube etc)

Yes, to setup your phone or tablet. If you want to cast from your laptop, there is an extension for Chrome you can use.

Yes, you must download and install Google Chrome browser to access chromecast!

I had the same question and what I've found so far is "yes, I need to be on Google Chrome to use the Chromecast". I wanted to use it view photos and couldn't unless I uploaded the photos to Google. So, if its on your chrome browser it works fine. Good luck,

Only if you are trying to stream content from your browser

No but you need to download chromecast app to connect to your tv. Once it's installed it runs in the background

Yes, if you are using a computer.
