It wants to use Chrome as the browser because Chromecast is made by the same company. It's compatible, Safari is not.

And your Mac must be running v10.7 or later > https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/2998456?hl=en

With the advent of Smart TVs, it's getting out of control to think you need Roku, Amazon Fire TV (powerful and the first with voice activation), and of course Apple TV (which never appears in the line-up on my Smart Sony TV). It's clear that Google feels the competitive heat and posts numerous ads disguised as consumer news stories to capture the viewer within the Google-Chrome browser-Chromecast eco-system. It's bad enough being blocked at every turn with an ad while navigating Amazon or Apple TV. But with Chrome and Chromecast and Bing search, I feel like the entire internet is a giant ad for Google (or is it Chrome? or Gmail? or Youtube? or Bing? or the company's new and official name, Alphabet?

I tried, and owned, all of these "streamers," and the one that sits in the junk door is Chromecast. For a huge company with ambitions to make the first viable driverless car, Google certainly might be expected to do more than provide us with the spartan novelty called ChromeCast (after finding an open HDMI port, I spent the rest of the night looking for an AC and USB connection for the device--finally I downloaded Chrome and got some results. (But I prefer Safari!!!) Thank goodness for alternatives:

1. Enough is enough! I'm tempted to say drop all the streaming and return to Blu Ray DVD players. But if I could use ONLY one, it would be CNet's recommendation of ROKU. It's the least cluttered, without commercial gotcha's, and it's the most universal and straightforward streaming device of the bunch (faster and more dependable than Netflix on a Smart TV). Moreover, it gives me my Youtube Channels and runs my favorites without interruption.

2. If I decide I need 2 streaming boxes, the 2nd will be my Fire TV Box (not the little thing that's similar to the Chromecast novelty). Besides speed and pwer, speech recognition is impecccable and the Prime selection gets better all the time. But you have to be careful about unintended orders for merchandise, or subscriptions to Food Pantry, or Audible book purchases, or buying music tracks when you're intention was to rent them. It's a matter of learning how to use settings to ensure FREE movies, books, videos that are one of the perks for subscribing to Amazon Prime My only tablet has been a Fire HDX, and Amazon's May Day feature worked beautifully and saved money. Whenever I hit a snag, I simply touched MayDay, and a live expert in the Amazon studio appeared on my screen. From there, she either showed me the ropes or, with my permission, took control of my machine and got me out of trouble. (Unfortunately, Amazon is eliminating live MayDay service with their newest tablets.

3. That brings me to my 3rd "keeper," Apple TV. first, the CONS: 1. The remote, the size of a piece of Wrigley's chewing gum, keeps disappearing. And replacing it for $20 a pop gets old in a hurry. 2. The Apple eco-system is now ramping up with the Beats acquisition and the constant trolling for Apple music subscribers. (I have thousands of CDs I want to listen to again. Please-- no more subscriptions.) You can limit its activities, but not erase Apple Music's presence completely.) 3. Nothing on Apple TV is "free" in terms of movie entertainment and now music (with certain, ever trickier, exceptions).

The PROS, or reasons to keep, Apple TV in your TV's 3rd port: 1. Every unbiased review I've read has said that Apple AirPlay outperforms every other method for throwing/mirroring the contents of an iPhone or iPod or tablet or computer unto a TV screen. Brightness, sharpness, colors, proportionality all support Apple's reputation. But to use AirPlay, you need to go to an Apple TV input. 2. If you've collected photos, audio files, etc. from elsewhere in the house or on your computer's wi-fi network, Apple TV is best for screening and playing personal material. 3. Aside from a WD Passport drive, the only place I would store files is in the iCloud--if only to reduce confusion.

Maybe because the above 3 choices seem so obvious, Google has to go the extra mile to lure surfers into their domain. I wish Apple, the richest company on the planet, would: 1. Devise a streamer at least as efficient and practical as Roku. 2. Start a "movie club" undercutting Netflix's dominance instead of throwing money at Taylor Swift, acquiring Beats headphones (for 3 Billion dollars!) and the latest hip hop artist for rights to sell their music--how does this raise consciousness of culture and art? 3. Clarify why they alone are absent from Smart TVs. What's needed in the face of all the streaming and cross-streaming and counter-streaming is one spectacular provider of the technology and the content that does it right.

Each of the above 4 services--my 3 "chosen ones" and the 4th inescapable one--claims they are a one-stop, do-it-all service. Perhaps one of them is on the cusp of making good on such a promise. All of my HDMI ports are full as are my drawers for remotes. Will a winner please come forward with a plan, not a pitch; an innovative product and service, not an imitation. It's time to clean up the clutter. Presently, Apple's iOS system is Obama trying to move ahead with a Congress of Android users.

samuelfromkenosha:

I disagree strongly, though I only have the experience of AppleTV and Chromecast (both ver 1 and 2). Initially I bought the Chromecast just because it was so cheap, and I just wanted to project photos wirelessly to my TV, but I now have 4 of them, on every TV/monitor in the house, and I'm a convert. I have PhotoCast, Youtube, TED, BBC iPlayer, TuneIn on all my iOS devices, plus AirParrot on my OS X laptop, so I can 'cast' almost anything that I want to the larger streams, all for £30 per monitor. I'm afraid it is now the Apple TV which sits in the cupboard as I have the earlier version which is just 720p, the Chromecasts are all 1080p.

Cheap and cheerful it may be, but give it some credit, it's b.......y good for what it costs.

I control all of my devices with a Logitech Harmony One universal remote. All of those high tech gadgets and no universal remote? Shame on you. 😉

Ratings and Reviews

Only function is asking for money.

I don't understand why developers create apps that only display a message demanding money. If you want to sell apps, then sell them. I feel my time has been wasted when a developer puts a "free" app on the app store that has none of the functionality advertised. If the app, as downloaded, does nothing, I feel the developer has been dishonest. I feel lied to. This might be a good app. After a fee has been paid. The developer has updated many times over several years. So I'd expect it to work pretty well -- if paid no attention to the reviewers who say it doesn't work even after paying for it. I know it's tough to find an app that does what this one promises to do for free. I would have a few dollars for this one if it had been a paid app. But advertising it as free when it does nothing except ask you to upgrade to pro -- that's misleading. Shady. And it leaves me with no trust in the developer. This could be the most awesome Roku streamer ever written (reviewers don't seem to think so), and I'll never know, now, because I feel I was lied to and don't want to reward that behavior. :(

Developer Response ,

Dear user, Thank you for your review, I'm taking notes of all of them. The application has a free version, you can test your TV before upgrading - the main app presents all TVs and broadcasting options (including Youtube and video files). Your TV is displaying the video directly from Youtube, not from the extension, the extension just instructs the TV what to play, so the stuttering is strange, it makes me think that the problem is somewhere on the Internet connection. Also, please check the latest update of the app, it solved a lot of issues with Nvidia Shield. I hope this helps and please write me to [email protected] if you need my assistance.

No function until paid

This should not be considered a free tool. Also it shouldn't be considered a full product. This thing messes up constantly. When starting to stream, it never starts where the video was playing, the pause play buttons and video scroll only work once in a blue moon and usually you're just stuck watching the whole video again from the beginning. Things change a lot when you close and reopen a window. Sometimes that helps. After five minutes of messing with different order of operations, I finally found a second where it seems to be working with enough of the features I need to use. And I definitely had to pay to get here. This app is JUST BARELY FUNCTIONAL with tons of glitch. Recommend don't buy until they have gotten their ish together.

Dear user, The app is designed to send web pages and full video to your TV. Every time you need to send a video to watch on your TV (for example, from Netflix) you can do that from your computer - the app can control the playback position, but only on some TVs that support that, not all can. I guess the TV where you tested the app was less capable (in terms of openness to what developers can do with it). Regards

Absolutely phenomenal

This app has the Test to TV function so you can try it out. NO it is not Free and most of the FREE ones are crap. I tried several before I found this gem. This is part one of the program and although not free it's only $4.99 for a lifetime. Part 2 is the Free add on Mirror for Smart TV. This works both with Chromecast for mirroring the browser on TV. And it also works great on my 5 yr. old TCL Roku TV. The cool part is when I am watching an internet streaming movie, I can close my laptop and the entire movie play flawlessly. Make sure to set the Video to Smooth Play and download the Audio Driver so it will play on TV Audio. Seriously good program. Just take 5 minutes to figure it out instead of whining "it doesn't work" or that it is NOT Free. It's a great program.

How to Get a Browser on Chromecast

You can't add a browser directly, so casting is your only option

• Wichita Technical Institute

What to Know

• First, connect your device and Chromecast to the same network.
• Then, open your browser of choice (works best with Chromium based browsers) and select Cast.
• Finally, select your Chromecast from the list of options.

In order to browse the web on a Google Chromecast, you'll need another device such as a smartphone, tablet, or even desktop PC with the Chrome web browser installed. Here's how to see the web on your Chromecast in no time.

How to Add a Browser on Chromecast

You can't add a browser to Chromecast, but you can make it so see the web on your TV or other connected display using another device. We're going to use Chrome in our images below, but it works on all major browsers (the steps might vary slightly, but you should still be able to use the steps below to figure out how to do it on the browser you are using). Here's how:

You need both a Chromecast device set up correctly and a device with the Chrome browser installed. This can be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop PC.

If you don't have that already, install the Chrome browser from the Google Play Store , or via the official website.

Keeping Chrome up to date ensures you have the best casting experience.

Make sure both the device you want to cast the browser from, and your Chromecast, are both on the same Wi-Fi network.

Turn your TV on and select the correct input for your Chromecast.

Open the Chrome browser on your device and select the Cast icon. It's a rounded-corner rectangle with three curved lines in the lower-left corner.

If you don't see the icon on your desktop or laptop browser, click the three-line menu icon and select Cast .

When prompted, select your Chromecast device from a list of casting options. This list may various smart TVs and other streaming devices, like Roku or Fire Sticks, depending on how many devices are on your Wi-Fi network, so be sure to select the correct one.

Your device should then begin casting the browser window to your Chromecast on your TV. The icon will change to blue on the casting device, to let you know know that casting has commenced. You can now use your device to change the website(s) you're viewing on your TV.

When you're finished and want to disconnect your browser from the Chromecast, just select the Cast icon again, and select Disconnect .

To use a Chromecast with an iPad , you need to use the Google Home app. Once you've set it up on your iPad, go to Devices > Set Up New Devices and follow the prompts to set up your Chromecast. Once the setup is complete, you can stream Chrome browsers from your iPad to your TV.

First, type chrom://flags in the address bar, and then search for Load Media Router Component Extension on the next screen. Choose Disabled from the menu. Repeat this process for the Cast Media Route Provider flag, and then relaunch the browser for the changes to take effect.

Google Cast is now built in to Chrome

Aug 29, 2016

[[read-time]] min read

Two years ago we launched  Google Cast , an extension for Chrome that allowed you to show content from your favorite websites on the best screen in your home—your TV—using  Chromecast .  Whether watching your favorite show on Netflix, or sharing a photo slideshow at a family gathering, Google Cast makes it easy to extend the web to the big screen.  

Since we launched Chromecast, we’ve been working to make casting even better. We've launched  new Cast devices like Chromecast Audio  and partnered with other manufacturers to make  Cast-enabled TVs  and  speakers .  We’ve also made significant improvements in quality, with the vast majority of casting sessions now in HD.

Casting from Chrome has become incredibly popular: In the past month alone, people have casted more than 38 million times from Chrome, watching and listening to more than 50 million hours of content.

Today we’re happy to announce that Google Cast is now built fully into Chrome, and anyone can now Cast without having to install or configure anything.  When you’re on websites that are  integrated with Cast , you’ll see the Cast icon appear when you’re on the same network as a Cast device—and with a couple of clicks you can view your content on your TV or listen to music on your speakers:

You can also view websites that are not integrated with Cast on your TV by selecting the “Cast…” menu item from the Chrome menu:

And you can now cast to even more places—including sharing with participants on a video call in  Google Hangouts  and the  Cast for Education   app,  which we  announced recently .  Now you can share your presentation with your coworkers during a Hangout or to your peers in the classroom.

With Google Cast and Chrome, you can share what you love to watch with those around you. We’re excited to make this  available to everyone .  To get the new built-in Cast functionality all you need to do is make sure you have the latest version of Chrome.

How to Setup Chromecast on MacOS iMac or Macbook (Install Guide)

What started as a way to stream audio to TV using AirTunes and AirPlay in 2004 has changed into what we today know as casting video to TV screens. Up until 2010, such a technology was unheard of but in 2010 Apple came up with Apple TV, a device that was capable of streaming video and audio to a TV screen. However, there is an alternative to Apple TV which is known as Google Chromecast. In much the same way as Apple TV, chromecast streams video and audio to a TV screen. Many people prefer it over Apple TV primarily because it’s more convenient. So, today we will show you how to set up Chromecast on MacOS.

What you will need to install chromecast on MacOS

You will need the following to stream video from MacOS to a TV screen.

• Google Chromecast device
• Chrome web browser
• Mac computer

Setup Chromecast Device on Your TV

Step 1- To start off, insert the HDMI input of Chromecast into one of the HDMI slots of your TV. To power up Chromecast device, you can plug the USB-A cable into a USB port on your TV. If your TV does not have a USB port then you can use a mobile charger.

Step 2-  Turn on your TV and navigate to the input or source menu. Most TV remotes would have buttons for this named as “source/input”. If you don’t find any such keys then simply go to the menu of your TV and there should be an option to choose a source.  Select the HDMI input that you connected Chromecast device to.

How to install Google Chromecast on MacOS

Step 1- Open Google Chrome browser and go here .

Step 2- Click the blue download button to download Chromecast dmg.

However, be notified that your Mac and your Chromecast device must be connected to the same Wifi network for all of this to work. Moreover, Chromecast only connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, so if your Mac is connected to a 5GHz network, you will not be able to find the Chromecast.  Switch networks and you’ll see it.

Step 4- Once the chromecast device is found click on the blue “set up” button.

Step 5 – Click continue button on the next screen.

Step 6- choose your country

Step 7- Chromecast software will now connect to the device.

Step 8- Make sure you have selected the right HDMI input as the source on your TV. The Chromecast software will show a code. Compare this code with the one on your TV screen and see if they match. If they do then click “That’s my code” button.

Step 9- At this point, Your Mac has made a wireless connection to the chromecast device just for the sake of configuration. To connect the chromecast device to the Wifi network, select WiFi network and type the password.

Step 10- You can also change the name of your chromecast device. For example, johnny’s Chromecast.

Step 11-  Click continue to connect chromecast device to the Wi-Fi network.

and that’s it, wait for the chromecast to update its software if there is any new update and once done you are good to go.

Chromecast Browser Extension

Step 1-  Click the blue button that says “Get cast extension”.

Step 2-  A Chrome browser tab will open. Click the blue “Add Extension button”.

Step 3-  A new window will appear, click the “Add” button.

Step 4- Confirmation will be displayed once the extension is added to chrome browser. A new icon will appear in the Chrome toolbar.

Using Chromecast on a Mac to Stream Videos/Movies

Step 1-  Click the icon in the Chrome browser toolbar to enable it first in order to use the cast extension, once enabled it will send wirelessly the contents of Chrome browser tab to the television.

Step 2- Sites such as Youtube will only stream, the video that is being played, to the TV in Fullscreen.

…and there you have it, You have successfully cast video using Chromecast on MacOS. Enjoy!

How to Stream Videos and Mirror Screen From iPhone or iPad to a Chromecast

• Chromecast mirroring is only officially on Android and Chrome on PC
• It's possible to daisy-chain Airplay and Chromecast mirroring
• Streaming videos to an Apple TV via supported apps is much simpler

Google's smart-TV dongle, the Chromecast , is a very versatile gadget that can be used to stream video content from the Internet through a wide variety of devices and sites to a big screen TV. However, it works just a little bit better if you're living within Google's ecosystem - just like Apple's devices work better together.

Maybe that's why mirroring your smartphone or tablet is only officially supported on Android - if you want to get your iPhone or iPad's display on the big screen, the best option is to buy the somewhat expensive Apple TV. Another choice would be to buy Apple's lightning to HDMI cable, though it's inelegant. The good news is that most media apps on iOS already support casting videos to Chromecast, so there's no issue if you want to use it to play your favourite media.

How to Stream and Mirror Content and Videos From a PC to a Chromecast

How to cast videos from iPhone or iPad to Chromecast Doing this can literally be a single step process, if you only have a single Chromecast in the house. Otherwise there's one extra step. This is how it works.

How to stream videos from iPhone or iPad to a TV via Chromecast:

• Make sure that your iOS device and Chromecast are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
• Open an app such as Netflix or Youtube, which supports Chromecast.
• Load the video you want to cast.
• Tap the Cast button , a square with three curved lines like the Wi-Fi symbol coming out of the corner.
• If you only have a single Chromecast on the network, the video should start playing immediately. If not, you'll see a list of available devices, and you'll have to tap on the one you want to cast the video to.

That's it as long as the app you're using supports Chromecast. If you don’t see the Cast button, either your app doesn’t have Chromecast support, or your Chromecast isn’t connected to the same network.

If you want to use it to show someone else a webpage from your mobile device, then there are a few workarounds that you can still use and mirror a web page to the big screen TV via a Chromecast.

How to cast webpages that don't have Chromecast videos Although a lot of iOS apps have Chromecast functionality, Safari itself does not. If you want to show people a webpage, where you might have saved a presentation or even videos, you can still do this, using a free app called MomoCast. This is what you need to do.

• Install MomoCast on your iPhone or iPad - it's free to use.
• Make sure you're on the same Wi-Fi network as the Chromecast device.
• In Safari, tap the Share button, and then tap on Cast with MomoCast .
• This will open the webpage you're on using MomoCast's browser, which comes with a cast icon on the top right. Tap the name of your Chromecast to connect.
• Tap the Cast icon again, and tap on Mirror screen to start streaming. This will display the webpage on your device, which could be used to show a presentation, a PDF file, or even just show friends pictures from your Instagram.
• Tap the Cast icon again and tap on Disconnect to end the stream.

How to Stream Videos and Mirror Screen From Android to a Chromecast

How to mirror your iPhone or iPad's display to a TV via a Chromecast All that's fine, but how do I actually mirror my iPad or iPhone's screen to the TV, you might be asking. Well, the short answer is - you can't. But there is a slightly (okay highly) convoluted workaround that actually can work. The way it works is to daisy chain Airplay mirroring from your phone or tablet to your computer, and then using Chrome's desktop mirroring via the PC. There are plenty of apps you can use to take care of the first part, but while most are free to try, you have to pay to keep using them. If spending some money is not a problem, then we'd suggest going with Reflector, which appears to be the most popular and also the best one from the comments and user reviews. However, for the purposes of this guide, we found a free app called LonelyScreen that works pretty well too.

How to mirror your iPhone or iPad display to the TV via Chromecast:

• Make sure your iOS device, PC, and Chromecast are all connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
• Install LonelyScreen on your PC - it works and is free on both Windows and Mac.
• On your PC, launch Chrome, and go to the menu, then click on Cast .
• Click on the arrow next to Cast to , and click on Cast desktop . Then, click on your Chromecast's name.
• Okay, now you've got your desktop on the TV screen. The next step is to get the iOS device onto the desktop.
• Run LonelyScreen. You can click on the LonelyScreen text to change the server name, or leave it alone.
• Now, on your iPhone or iPad, swipe up from the bottom to show the Control Centre, and tap on Airplay Mirroring .
• Tap on LonelyScreen (or whatever else you might have named the server) to start mirroring your screen.
• Click on the LonelyScreen window and maximise it.

Now, your mobile display is being mirrored onto your desktop, and the same is being mirrored in turn onto your Chromecast and the television. There's staggered lag - you do something on your iPad, it takes a moment to reflect on the PC, and another moment to reflect on the big screen, so it's not really useful to watch a movie, but if you want to demo an app, or showcase a presentation, this might be a good option.

Activating Chromecast on your digital devices has become a sure way to elevate your entertainment experience. Though it initially came as hardware, Google has upgraded this model and it’s now pre-built on the Google Chrome browser. This user-friendly, in-built trailblazing piece of Google technology allows you to seamlessly stream content across digital devices.

However, Chromecast lacks a solid, inexpensive streaming option and detailed guidelines on how to set it up. This article outlines how to enable Chromecast on Google. Buckle up. Your entertainment experience is about to go a notch higher.

How to Enable Chromecast on Google Chrome on Your PC

There are two ways you can use to enable Chromecast on Google Chrome on your PC. Switch up your entertainment experience by following these simple steps:

Note: Several flag options are likely to pop up depending on the version of Chrome you’re using. If a list of flags appears search for “Connect to Cast devices” on all IP addresses option. If the flag doesn’t appear you’ll have to update your Google Chrome to access it.

Alternative Way to Enabling Chromecast on Google Chrome on Your PC

You can also use these steps to enable Chromecast on Google Chrome for your PC:

How to Enable Chromecast on Google Chrome Using Android

If you want to stream content from your Android, here’s how it’s done:

• The screen of your Android phone will appear on your Chromecast TV.
• Browse and select what you would like to cast and it will automatically play on your TV.

Note: The Cast icon isn’t accessible on the Google Chrome browser on Android devices. You’ll need to open your device notification panel to directly mirror your Android screen to your Chromecast. The application you choose should be Chromecast-enabled. The Cast icon typically appears as a square with a radar signal. The location of the icon depends on the streaming app you’re using.

How to Enable Chromecast on Google Chrome Using iPhone

iOS devices can’t directly screen mirror content to Chromecast. The process of enabling Chromecast on the Chrome browser is slightly different, therefore.

How to Add Chromecast Extension on Google Chrome

Using Chromecast from the Google Chrome browser is one of the best updates from Google. Casting from the browser has proven to be more reliable and with minimum latency issues. If you’ve been using the Chromecast hardware and are looking for convenience, the Chromecast extension is the perfect solution for you.

Here are the steps you can follow to add Chromecast extension to your browser:

• The Chromecast extension will be automatically installed and enabled on your Google Chrome browser.

Note: It’s important that you carefully check the Chromecast extension you click on. The source should be Google to avoid any security breaches. Some sources may have malware and may cause device malfunction

How to Troubleshoot Chromecast

If you’re having issues with your Chromecast performance, we recommend trying out these simple fix options to resolve the problem.

Check Your Wi-Fi

You can do this by checking the signal of your Wi-Fi router. Look for anything unusual with the lights. You can also use your mobile device to see whether the Wi-Fi is working well. A simple search on a website browser on the device will help you confirm if that’s the case.

If the Wi-Fi is working, then the issue may lie somewhere else. If it isn’t, the best solution will be to restart your Wi-Fi router. You can switch off the power supply from the router. You can also restart the router by long pressing the router power button. Ensure all the lights go off before releasing the power button. Wait for at least a minute before plugging in the power supply. The router will come on once the restart process is over.

Update Your Google Chrome Browser

You may have trouble casting using your PC if you aren’t using the latest Google Chrome version. Clicking on the three vertical dots on your Chrome browser will provide you with an update option on the drop-down menu if any is required. Click on the latest version Chrome version available to update browser.

Ensure That Your Device and Chromecast Are Using the Same Wi-Fi Network

Your streaming device won’t be able to connect with your Chromecast if they’re on different networks. You need to ensure that they’re using the same Wi-Fi to be able to scan and find the device you want to connect to.

Factory Reset Chromecast

Your last resort is resetting your Chromecast. We recommend this as the final option because the process will erase all your data. You’ll need to set up Chromecast afresh if you chose to factory reset. You can do this via the Google Home application or long-press the factory reset button at the back of the Chromecast device. Release it once the light turns solid white. Chromecast will reset.

If all these troubleshooting options don’t yield results, you’ll have to contact Google for support. We recommend their live chat channel as the quickest method.

Navigating Chromecast Using Google Chrome

Chromecast is one of the most affordable options for streaming content. Best of all, it’s easy to set up and operate. We recommend it if you’re looking for a budget-friendly content streaming option. You need to have a Chromecast extension on your TV, an updated Chrome browser, a reliable Wi-Fi network, and compatible Chromecast devices to successfully enable Chromecast on Google Chrome.
