Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Chromecast's ease of use, streaming capabilities, and picture quality. Many appreciate its affordability and the ability to transform a standard TV into a smart TV. However, some users experienced connectivity issues, and the lack of a physical remote control was a common point of feedback. The small size and generally positive performance were also frequently noted.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Using this for years I think it's kind of annoying that you have to still buy one if you want to link your speakers from Google into a group and you can't do it with just the Android TV you have to buy one in addition to

    Bought this to cast the occulus to TV, it is glitchy at best ad works when it wants to. Not sure if the issue is solely with the chromecast but it will be connected and then drop and not be able to be found in google home. Very frustrating. Great when it works.

      Hi jsprmax, thanks for sharing your feedback to let us know of your issue with using the Chromecast with Google TV. We’re sorry to learn of your frustrating experience with its performance and connectivity.

      Oculus is not officially compatible with Chromecast devices. It may or may not work. With that being said, while using an Oculus device on a compatible Android phone, you may be able to mirror the phone's display to show at the same time on your Chromecast.

      There could be several reasons that can affect the performance and connectivity of your Chromecast and we’d like to rule out the possibility of your Wi-Fi connection being the cause of this issue. We suggest trying the simple steps below:

      - Check for possible interference. Appliances like your microwave oven, refrigerator or even your neighbors’ Wi-Fi network may cause interference with your Chromecast.
      - Check for possible congestion. Removing some of your connected devices may help relieve some bandwidth space and you may check if your experience will improve.
      - Ensure that your Chromecast is in a line of sight with your Wi-Fi router to get the best signal strength and Wi-Fi coverage.
      - If you have a dual band router, try setting up your Chromecast on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more stable.
      - Restart your Chromecast and your Wi-Fi router. Unplugged the devices from the power outlet. Leave them unplugged for at least a minute before plugging them back in.

      If the issues still persist, we’d be happy to have a closer look into this and guide you with further investigation and troubleshooting here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle
