Do I have to have internet at home to use chromecast on my tv? Can I use my phone as the internet source only? null

Question

Accepted Answer

I have tried this, no it does not work. Both your phone and the device must be in the same WiFi network to work. Your phone can’t connect to its own WiFi.

I couldn't say for sure without trying it, but if your phone is truly a wifi access point that can have devices connect to it, I would think it should work. It does require your phone as an interface to setup and cast apps to your Chromecast TV. Your phone and the Chromecast device must be on the same network
