Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pretty good and fairly easy to install and use, but it is smart phone based and doesn't work as well for all video formats as the earlier (PC) version of the Chromecast does.

We are using the Chromecast Media Player to stream from a computer to a projector at our church so we can put the words to the songs on a screen. It works well as long as it is close enough to the internet source.

Great product but does not display 4K. I bought the product to pair with google home nest mini, so it could turn on my LG tv. The product did work but it takes over the smart tv with its built in apps displaying 1080p. I had just bought a 4k tv with built in apps.

We had the old version of Google Chrome and decided to finally by grade as some functions were not working the best after 5 years. The only thing I do not like is how low it hangs piece from the computer.

Considered Chromecast Dongle, just pulled the trigger. Easy set up and can't say enough for Best Buy next day delivery. The interface loads up faster than native apps on my smart TV. Good purchase. Thanks Best Buy

Does the Techno Trick! Thomas Payne said “Sorry my letter is so long, I didn’t have time to write a short one” That is how I feel about having to type at least 50 Characters.

The Chromecast worked fine the first time we used it to view the video from a VR headset. The next day, however, the TV wouldn't turn on. After a lot of troubleshooting, we discovered that the TV actually turned on but we couldn't get a picture (or sound). We could get a minimal menu to display at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds, but the TV wouldn't allow us to make any selections--it was stuck on the HDMI port that the Chromecast had occupied. We tried numerous times to get the TV working, but all failed. I'm not sure if I can entirely blame the Chromecast because I've since found out that Samsung has some sort of automatic searching on the HDMI port which may not play nicely with other devices. Buyer beware if you have a Samsung TV.

Everyone should have a few of these lying around. I have other streaming devices but there are many sites that are not included. I use my device a few times a week. Since I have owned it, no issues besides the occasional restart.

This product is exactly what you need if you do not have a smart TV. You can watch movies, YouTube, look at pictures from your phone. There are so many uses for it. I do not have a 4k TV so this item is perfect for that.

I have been unable to complete the connection of the chromecast to my home network, so I don’t know if will perform as expected. It is plugged into the hdmi slot and I can find it when I search, but the code never shows up on the tv.

I’m used to a Roku with Sling, Netflix, Hulu, and Prime. When you use the Chromecast — each user has to either use your phone, or download the GoogleHome app on their phone and sign into each of the apps such as Netflix, Sling, Hulu, and Prime with their access ID for each. If you have a visitor staying with you, you can give them guest access on their phone and they have to to download everything also. This has been my experience so far, since there is no remote with Chromecast- you have to use your phone as the remote. This feature sounded cool, but has been more cumbersome as we have seen than we originally thought.

This device is okay for what it is. I was expecting to be able to actually cast from a device to the Chromecast, but that isn't the way these work. Your phone, tablet or PC sends a URLto the Chromecast which then connects to the internet and access the content from the destination (Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, etc). Can still find uses for it, but it did not meet the need I have. Any actual casting software always has a delay. It would be great if someone would come up with an actual casting device with no delay. If you have a smart tv, you can use your television's remote to control the content once it is displayed on your screen. Or at least I can with my Samsung. Otherwise, you have to use your device as the remote.

Works great I have three of them now on three different TVs you can name them different names for your different devices so you know which ones are which and if we have any problems is probably your Internet service.

The device works fine... when it works. However almost every time - when I want to start casting - there is a need to disconnect it from power and connect again - otherwise the casting device does not succeed to connect to it. Unclear why.

Must have if you have an Amazon Box and HBO Max -- because Amazon and HBO could not come to an agreement. Well worth a few bucks to get your HBO movies and TV Shoes on the big screen.

First of all, you don't have to turn on tv separately when you chrome casting while tv is off. Second of all, it's faster to cast than older generations of chrome cast. Image quality unsure of

same old Chromecast same price for this one, metal and the only thing with this one is that is actually not metal but it's the same old thingif you have a old TV that's not smart and we can and then this is probably okay for you but if you have a smart TV there's no need for this

I got this for my nephew, and he loved it. I prefer a different company to stream; however, after hearing great things about it, I am going to get one.

Bought this to use with my Google home voice assistants. Especially useful if you use YouTube TV to stream your television content. Just say, "Hey Google, watch ESPN" (or any other network) and you're there.

I bought this on the advice of my twenty year old and it seems to work just fine. I'd also give as a gift to someone who may be looking to broaden their horizons in what they have access to on the television.
