Chromecast is a streaming device that connects to your Wi-Fi to cast videos from any app that is cast-enabled or supported by Chromecast. Netflix and Prime are examples of cast-enabled apps that you can use with the Chromecast.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you'll need to use separate apps to "cast" content. You'll need to install Google Home to activate and essentially "turn-on" the device; then you'll go to the content app you want to view and use a button (that will be available once the Chromecast is set up) to watch content.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The app on your phone must be compatible with Chromecast. You know it is when you have the ability to "Cast" within the app. Alternatively, the Chrome browser can also cast streams in most cases if it is on the same network.
