Product Information

See which network your phone is connected to then connect your Chromecast to the same network in the Google Home app. A: Yes, you can use multiple Chromecast dongles in different rooms as long as each dongle is connected to a separate TV and they are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You can control each Chromecast individually through your device. A: Chromecast dongles require an HDMI port on your TV. If your TV doesn’t have an HDMI port, you may need an HDMI to AV converter or an HDMI over Ethernet extender, depending on your specific setup. Once you’ve successfully connected your device to your Chromecast, you should be able to start casting videos. A: While Wi-Fi is the primary method of connecting and streaming with a Chromecast dongle, you can also use an Ethernet adapter to connect the dongle directly to your router through an Ethernet cable.

Look out for any additional features or accessories that may enhance your streaming experience, such as voice control or gaming support. So, if possible, place your converter and Chromecast on a nearby table or shelf so they’re not tugging on the cables. Step 3: Connect the Chromecast and Converter to Power While it's not necessary to use the USB power cable and power adapter included in the box with the standard Chromecast device, it is suggested you use those for optimal performance. That being said, it is necessary to use the provided cables with Chromecast Ultra, which won't work with any other USB cable, or any USB cable plugged into a TV. Here are the slightly different steps for setting up Chromecast Ultra. Many smart TVs also natively support casting and screen mirroring, with a few Hisense, Samsung, and LG TVs even having built-in Chromecast.Although converters can just hang from your TV’s ports, the cables could be damaged from the constant strain and you risk them slipping out of the ports. The only thing your Chromecast needs to work is a functioning audio-video output port. Though they were designed to be plugged into your TV’s HDMI port, you can also use them with other ports with the appropriate converters. Instead, they can only be connected to cable or satellite, allowing you to watch broadcast TV. They can also connect to other devices via a wired connection, like your computer or phone via an HDMI cable. Make sure it’s properly plugged in or else the converter will not work properly. Step 2: Connect the RCA Converter to your TV

When given the option to, connect your Chromecast to the same network as your phone or tablet, allowing them to wirelessly connect via Wi-Fi. RCA cables are color-coded and it’s important to plug them then into ports of the corresponding colors. Decide whether you prefer controlling your Chromecast using a physical remote or through an app on your device. Instead, Chromecast is one of the many TV accessories that give normal TVs the ability to function like their smarter counterparts.Your TV will display a code on-screen that should match the code on your phone, notifying you that you’re connected to the right Chromecast. Step 5: Cast Videos to Your TV You may also connect both devices to another phone’s hotspot. You cannot use the same phone, tablet, or laptop you’re casting from. Find your TV’s HDMI port and plug the Chromecast’s HDMI cable into it. Now is also a good time to take note of which HDMI port you’re plugging it into (e.g. HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc). Many smart TVs can already wirelessly connect to your phone to cast content, so although Chromecast works with them, it wasn’t designed to be used with them. Your Chromecast should pop up on-screen when you’ve found the right input. Step 5: Connect the Chromecast to the Internet
