I usually don't watch unboxing videos but for the life of me didn't know where to connect it and just found your video. Thank you and God bless. It worked! Phew....
I'm actually sold on this device over Roku because it doesn't require an account and password (with a payment method) to remember. Just another mobile device to control this adapter with (or to act as a remote which surprisingly isn't a problem in my household with an I-Pad and blu tooth)... Thank you for setting up the video and the walkthrough; otherwise thumbs-up, thank you again...
Helpful for me and my roommate RE-boxing the product. We're returning it because it's incompatible with our school's shit wifi, so we put it back in the box, almost exactly how it looked before unboxing it. Thanks for the help dude.
I have installed everything correctly but still cannot cast. I tried reinstalling/resetting the chromecast 3-4 times. And after set up, it just goes back to being "cannot be detected"
Very informative. Thanks. I have been using a free casting app, but its so slow and a pain in the backside with ads etc. I will now order myself a Chromecast, which is just what I was looking for.
Thanks so much for this Bob I appreciate it I'm watching it now I thought it was something you had to do with a smart TV but I have an HDMI I'm old school so I don't know the technology as well as a young people I appreciate you sharing this video Happy holidays
I got one to binge watch a ton of UA-cam's videos. I then tried gamaing on it and it turned out to be a beast I use it a ton with a Elagato to record the tv screen witch gits the game play. So this $35.44 gadget help me a ton.
What has happened to people's spelling skills. You misspelled "gets" it isn't spelled "git", you may want to spend less time "gaming" (that's how it's spelled not how you spelled it). And go back to school, the ability to spell is an important intelligence benchmark, IQ. If not you'll just be stupud.

Warden1S , my understanding is the firestick is the best for gaming and for the most games. Other than that I'm a fan of Roku for everything else. However I am now forced to purchase a Chromecast because basically they've made sure that we can no longer mirror image what is on our phones unless we have Chromecast. I personally think that is sad because it was available with Roku but was taken away, probably to force me into purchasing the Chromecast. I think it's seriously sad that they're starting to act like Apple now by forcing you to buy their stuff when Roku is obviously better. It's sad. If I were a true gamer I would probably add a firestick. I'm not sure if that's still the top runner for games. Maybe check with a Google search. I'm only using Chromecast to mirror image my phone. For everything else, it's Roku streaming stick per Cnet streaming device reviews.
Thank you! Just wanted to know - how does the Chromecast connect to your phone the very first time? Does it use something like Wi-Fi Direct or something like it?
Can you exit out of the app on your phone while casting? I don't think it'd really be worth buying if you have to render your device unusable throughout the duration of what you're watching, better to just took up the hdmi between the PC and TV
Does my phone and Chromecast need to be on the same wifi, or can i just link the Chromecast to my hotspot from my phone and use my normal phone service
After set up how long did the update take? I seem to be stuck there I did receive a code that it was set up but due to the Wi-Fi connection was not the same but that was before it did the update now we're just stuck with update spinning
+jose camposano A minute or two, max. You can switch your phone's wifi to match the wifi of your Chromecast. Or, remove the Chromecast in the Google Home app and try to re-add it.
mine is different they look the same but when I connect it to the TV the vision is different from that of your video. I can't connect. can you help me?
I already have Netflix, UA-cam and other apps from my Xbox One as well as with my tv provider, so I was wondering if it is still useful for me to get the Chromecast, like what kind of other things does it do? I would appreciate a response from anybody. Thank you in advance.
I'm the same. When I try to connect to the wi-fi network I connect but the network is one that you need to enter a username and password, however, the app does not prompt me to input it so I'm connected to the wi-fi but with no internet. someone, please help.
My Vizio "Smart tv" (I have Netflix that works fine.) does not have an option in settings for Screen Mirroring. Will getting a Chromecast allow me to screen mirror my (more han capable) Note 4 onto the tv?????
@@awkwardBOB .....my Vizio doesn't have the screen mirror option either,but your saying through CC......it allows me to do that with my Elipsis 10 Tab? and if I'm streaming from a website a movie or sports game I can put it on the big TV using Chromecast?
@@tidechamp15 yes. It will allow you to mirror anything from your phone or pc via the chromecast.My tv asks me if I want to mirror directly to tv, or via chromecast (recognizable by a 4 digit code). Very handy.
@@swrennie .....yeah,it seems to work really good,I use it to stream NFL games that aren't broadcast in my area through a couple of other websites....it does help me "cast it to my TV
I have screen mirroring on my car stereo but my phone doesn't have MHL. wondering if I have to have that? I do have a button my my phone in settings that says 'cast'. Hmmm? let me know what you learn. thanks
Can i use a chromecast without mirror casting or such? B'coz i had a chromecast where we only connected to wifi and then we can cast movies or videos to the tv but it got ruined so we purchased another chromecast and its not the same as the previous and it requires a mirror casting which we dont like is there any other option asude from mirror casting?
I think you answered my question here, but if all I have is my cell phone (with hot spot) the chromecast isn't going to work for me? I was hoping to use this without needing a home wifi setup.

Awesome! So glad it helped!
I dunno who would give this video a "Thumbs down" but this was great! Much appreciated!
Thank you!! I really appreciate that!
Think because we all know how to get UA-cam but not how to get Netflix or sports.

Same here
Mirascreen is different from chromecast it cannot be detected by UA-cam
I bought that product from the internet with the same case but with a different operation system 🤷🤦 but it's ok

Very good item that I use all the time on youtube.

Awesome! Enjoy!
Will this stream my 5 different movies apps on tablet.
Yes if it has the tv cast option
Hi. Can you tell me if the TV has to be Cast enabled, as I have an older set, or i just need the Cast App in order for it to work? Thanks
It just has to have an HDMI port
Can’t thank you enough! I showed my husband that I could be a “Tecky” too! All signed up😂👍
Awesome! Glad you could follow along!
Thank you! Just wanted to know - how does the Chromecast connect to your phone the very first time? Does it use something like Wi-Fi Direct or something like it?
Uses your WiFi connection, but yes it directly connects at one point during set up.
@@awkwardBOB Oh that's cool, thanks for telling me! ^^
WOW!! Thanks for this! I'm very "tech challenged." You really helped me.
So happy I could help!

Wonderful devices
Hows the connection..is not late ? Working at same time? Can we use on video call ?
good job well done I was wondering how it work. Thank you
Thank you!
Thank you for the video!!! Helps a lot
Thank you ... your video was very helping
Can we cast offline videos from gallery or movies n stuff???
Also
If i'll play an offline movie will it buffer or is it smooth??
yes
Thanks for explaining this nice and slowy and in detail ...other videos explain it far too quickly
Can you exit out of the app on your phone while casting? I don't think it'd really be worth buying if you have to render your device unusable throughout the duration of what you're watching, better to just took up the hdmi between the PC and TV
Yes, you can do other things while casting.
Thanks bro , so amazing
Thank you Very clear and easy to follow.
In Canada, if you have an Android phone you’ll need to contact your phone provider to get them to turn on location services
can u use this on old tv which have hdmi and usb? will it work ?
Should work as long as it has HDMI
Does my phone and Chromecast need to be on the same wifi, or can i just link the Chromecast to my hotspot from my phone and use my normal phone service
I also would love to know this 😊
Have to be on the same WiFi to cast.
Great instructional video. Question? How can I cast & view on other home TVs using the same Google Chromecast? A instructional video would be great!
There needs to be a Chromecast on each tv that you want to cast to.
Fantastic. Thank you
Which remote will support this chromecast?
Your phone only
Question the tv have to be smart tv with WiFi?
Nope. :) This turns your TV into a smart TV
Can I use other phone apps while it’s casting, from UA-cam for example?
After set up how long did the update take? I seem to be stuck there I did receive a code that it was set up but due to the Wi-Fi connection was not the same but that was before it did the update now we're just stuck with update spinning

Nope you don't really. Except you need access to Google Play to use apps like Zinitevi
It can be used to connect TV and mobile
yes or not

Can it work without the WiFi connection just with the phone data connection?
