    This item is just OK for TV streaming. I also have a Roku Ultra and a Fire TV stick. Either of these provides better audio/video quality than the Chromecast, with Roku rated first in my experience.

    My son bought this for me so that I could have the music that I wanted to listen to. Unfortunately, Spotify is not working with the Google device. They are working on it I guess but at present won't work.

    Not good for a multi-family TV (rental/vacation)

    I wanted the functionality of the original Chromecast, but this was the only one currently available. Basically I wanted to set up a vacation house with a TV that you could cast to from the app on your phone to allow multiple people using their own streaming accounts. In the case of Netflix, this will insist on using the Netflix app on this device which means it needs the credentials saved on this device based on the Google login that this device uses to save basic things like the WiFi password. In order to use another Netflix account, you have to log out of the Google account and setup the WiFi password again. Really a pain when I just needed it to stream what was on the phone like to original Chromecast.

      Hi Mbarton98, thanks for sharing the issue with us. We're sorry to hear that you're having a difficult time switching accounts for your cast-enabled apps.

      We understand how difficult it can be to switch between accounts on the different streaming apps that you use, that's why we've created a way to switch between different Google Accounts on Google TV instead. Rather than switching between accounts for your cast-enabled or streaming apps, you can create a user account for each member in your family in Google TV, and each user account lets you save different credentials on the favorite streaming apps that you use. This way, you can simply switch between user accounts on Google TV and get a more customized experience. To learn more, check out this help article: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2521798

      If you still have questions, we'd be happy to answer them, and even walk you through the features of your Chromecast with Google. Simply visit this link to reach out to our support team: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    The unit takes a long time to load or transfer the data to boot up or convert the T.V. I'm using it on a Samsung T.V. that was not using the latest tech. Did not feel like dumping a T.V. that was only 4 years old.

      Hi there, KenM. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us regarding your Chromecast with Google TV (HD) taking a long time to load. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.

      To address the issue, we recommend trying the following steps:
      - Ensure that you have a stable and adequate internet connection. Chromecast devices perform best with a high-speed internet connection of at least 20 Mbps. You can check your internet speed using an online speed test tool.
      - Check for potential sources of interference. Thick walls and electrical devices located between your Chromecast device and router can cause signal interference. Try to position your Chromecast in a location with a clear line of sight to the router to improve signal strength.
      - Evaluate the congestion on your Wi-Fi network. If you have many devices connected to the same network, it may be causing congestion and affecting the performance of your Chromecast. Temporarily disconnecting some devices can help improve performance.

      If the issue persists even after following these steps, our support team is available to assist you further. Please visit using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp madebygoogle

      Hi Judd,

      That's frustrating to hear about the lag you're experiencing with your Chromecast with Google TV (HD). We want you to have a smooth streaming experience!

      Rebooting your Chromecast often resolves lag issues, so give that a try first. If you've already restarted it, or the lag persists, let our support team jump in and help find a better solution.

      You can easily reach them through the Google Chromecast Help page here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp/

      We look forward to getting you back to enjoying your Chromecast! madebygoogle

    Chromecast with Google TV doesn't have "Guest Mode" like a plain Chromecast does. So you are totally unable to cast to it from a phone or tablet without a wifi network.
