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.

    I have the 1st Generation and this Chromecast. The connection is improved. It works very well with the casting from the computer, phone, or another device.

    I put this on a monitor and set it to show Google Photos as a screen saver. Now, I see all my pictures randomly displayed on the monitor. We leave it on all the time.

    Stream content from your device? You better have a router with a live wifi internet connection. I could not get it to work straight from my phone (Samsung S10) to the Chromecast unit.

    If you have 2 or three of these devices you can really control sound and video in your home. however if you get more of them it turns into a monster that is very hard to control.

    We use this as a secondary display option for a game on a tablet. Slight lag in playback on second screen but it doesn't matter much for what we are using it for.

    I would have given 5 stars but I can't get it to play the sound with my sister's I-phone, but it does show the picture. It works just fine with my Samsung Galaxy Android phone giving me both picture and sound.

      Hi unclerichi, thanks for sharing a review to let us know that you’re having an issue casting from your sister’s iPhone to your TV over Chromecast.

      Some cast-enabled apps may request location permissions and may not be able to cast if location permissions are not granted. We suggest trying the following steps that may clear this issue out:
      - Make sure that the iPhone is updated with the latest iOS version.
      - Check if the Home app is up to date.
      - Make sure the mobile device you are using to cast is on the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast.
      - Open a Chromecast-enabled app.
      - If it requires location permissions, tap Yes.
      - In the Chromecast-enabled app, tap the Cast button Inactive cast extension.
      - The Cast button isn't located in the same place on all Chromecast-enabled apps.
      - Tap the device you'd like to cast to.

      If unresolved, we can help you further if you can reach out to our dedicated team anytime here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Bought this for the sole purpose of casting the oculus to my tv. Works great for that. Haven’t used it for anything else though.

    Great product. Love it and use it always. I would recommend. Unfortunately you have to get the Google home to use it which is not how it used to be.

    This isn’t the first time I’ve looked into getting a chromecast. Rather than buying a smart TV, this was my solution and more cost effective for me.

    If you don’t have a smart TV, this is a great option to have. I have one in each room but if I had to jus have one, I could unplug it and use it in different rooms.

    The Chromecast may not be as important as it was before remote voice control, but its still nice for voice on and off as well as everything else it does.

    The 3rd generation Chromecast is a great device to cast videos, music, photos and screens either from Android devices or the Chrome browser to the big screen. Fast 5GHz wi-fi, automatically updates, seamless integration with Google Home. 1024p 60Hz max.
