Works well, but an odd issue after 1x year
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had unit for ~1 year. Within the last week the Chromecast appears to be interfering with a Vizio sound bar. The solution is to unplug the Chromecast; turn on the TV and sound; then re-plug in the Chromecast. This has occurred 3x times inside the last month. Not sure what the cause is.

Posted .Hi there, Geoff. We appreciate you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that you've been having an issue when using your Vizio soundbar and Chromecast with Google TV.
If you've set up Chromecast to control the volume settings on your soundbar, you might experience unexpected results because of a disparity between the Chromecast volume settings and the volume settings on your soundbar. For example, if you mute your TV with the remote that came with it and then try to change the volume with your voice, your TV might stay muted. You might want to try setting up the volume control settings again to fix the issue:
- To start setup, at the top right of your TV screen, select your profile and then Settings .
- Select Remotes & Accessories and then Set up remote buttons and then Volume control and then Chromecast Volume.
Additionally, if the issue persists, you may also try resetting your Chromecast device. This process will erase all data and you may need to set it up again. Please visit this link to get a step-by-step guide on how to reset Chromecast: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6254654
If you still experience the same issues, you're more than welcome to reach out to our support team for further help here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp

No Voice control for Amazon Prime Video!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We the costumers are like the kids stuck between fighting parents that will not play nice. Google and Amazon continue to make our life hard. As far at the 2020 Chromecast with Google TV if it would work with Amazon Prime Video with voice it would be so much better but without that it is about the same as most 4k dongles out there each with at least a few problems of there own. Here are the streamers I own and have to compare: I would rate them in order from Best starting with 1. 1. TiVo Stream 4k ($50) 2. Chromecast with Google TV 4k ($50) - This one reviewed 3. Google Chromecast Ultra 4k ($70) Discontinued 10/1/2020 4. Roku Streaming stick+ 4k ($50) 5. Amazon Firestick 4k - ($40) About Chromecast with Google TV 4k: The remote is nice size and works OK. The input for TV button does not work for TV but works for Apps input within Chromecast input. (at least on my Samsung Q8TD 65" TV). The basic layout of the Apps is same as everyone else. OK but you have to find your way around and they are always pushing HBO Max and YouTube even though I don't use either. One nice thing is the apps are listed at the bottom on the opening page but is not locked like it should be. The pages all seem to be offset on top and bottom by design. Maybe it was just updates but I would get a black screen for a couple minutes at a time wile looking through the menu (Strange to get black screen without anything showing but it does come back on it's own after 3 or 4 minutes). On the power cord it is only 5 feet long, so too short if you don't have a 120v outlet very close. Mine would reach but only if I don't hide the cord behind the TV like all the other cord get tucked in to the base (Why not 6' or 2 meter cord?) If your new to dongles for TV the reason you have a power cord rather than just plug into the USB on the back of the TV is because they are not all powered all the time and sometimes with not enough power. If you tell Google to play something on Hulu it will not only start playing your show but will turn on the TV too and switch to that input on the TV. This only works if the unit has power to make all that happen. This is why you have a cord to a outlet on the wall. When asking Google Hub or Google Assistant to play a show on TV it works OK if you use YouTube, HBO Max or Hulu but does not work with Amazon Prime : ( If you do use the remote to get something playing on Amazon Prime don't expect Google Assistant to Rewind or much of anything else wile using Prime Video. The dongle does not come in black so it does not blend with the black back of every tv made. A good thing is the dongle is smaller than the discontinued Chromecast Ultra (That did come in black). The dongle runs a little warm but cooler than some of the others I have so not bad. Over all it is not a bad 4k streamer but I think I like the TiVo Stream 4K better overall if you have to use the remote to get your shows on Prime Video going anyway. If Google ever gets there _hit together to get Prime Video to work with voice control like it did for a couple weeks last year this would be a hit. If you only plan to use YouTube, Netflix and Hulu this is a great streamer. But for a few people like me I watch Prime as well so not the top choice.

Good for single Google Account use
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn't able to use this in the living room for multiple user use. The main reason I bought the Chromecast was for the remote and to replace the $35 I had. Upon setting it up and using it for a few days I can't find where or how to add multiple users for the Chromecast. My brother and I have our own YouTube accounts and different recommendations but on this device you can't switch accounts to his Google account. If you need this for single use it's perfect as my brother has one upstairs and uses it every day no issues. Not good in a multi-google account environment Dislikes: No option at the time to add a 2nd Google account for YouTube and etc... Likes: Fast, 4k, HDR, remote controls the TV volume through infrared or in my case the sound bar, physical remote while still supporting to cast to it. You can even connect it through Ethernet using a USB ethernet adapter (with USB C power port passthrough)!

A must have for non integrated Chromecast TVs
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Must have for non integrated Chromecast TVs. My LG TV did not have it and had to purchase this low cost device to add it to my current family of Google devices. It's an easy and inexpensive solutions for those TVs that do not have access to the Google play store.

Okay streaming device, laggy UI but does job.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Convenient for TV streaming / connecting mobile devices to a TV. With tweaking you could run some emulators with some slow down. The UI is bloated and a bit slow / laggy. Your experience may vary with a type-c hub, the storage would be recognized and randomly not be detected.

Works really well for my use case (casting)
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Porduct works really well no major complaints. My use case however is strictly to cast a browser tab to a TV. I found using the builtin cast in Windows 10 to be too unstable and i would have to reconnect often. I have not needed to do that with the chromecast so I am happy with it.

Better than Roku!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a fantastic product, especially for Android users and people who like Google/Android stuff. The new Google TV is so good. And it plays games from the Google Play store, right on your TV! Stone your can just play with the Chromecast remote, some you have to buy a gamepad, but you can get them as low as $20.
