 Using this device doesn’t cost you anything else apart from your subscription to the apps you are streaming from. For Google customers; it’s like adding to your Google experience as it works with the Google Home product (I bet some people do not know what that does).

 Using the Google Chromecast device is quite easy. You can get to it with the following steps.

  • Connect your Chromecast device
    Connect the HDMI cable attached to your device to your TV’s HDMI port and the usb power cable to the adapter and plug it to power source. This device actually uses AC and it is not rechargeable, at least not yet.
    • Download the Google Home App
    Visit the appropriate app store for your device to download, install and set up the Google Home app.
    • Set up the Chromecast
         This is the most important and most techy step.
      1. Connect your mobile device or tablet to the same Wi-Fi network your Chromecast device is expected to use.
      2. Open the Google Home App downloaded
      3. At the top left of the Google Home App home screen; tap “Add” then “set up device” and then “set up new devices”. The app would direct you appropriately.
      4. And you are all set.
      • Cast Content
      Go to your cast enabled app from which you would like to stream from and cast to the device (using the name you used for the device during the setup above).

      You can then start using your device as the remote; increasing and reducing the volume and every other thing you would love to do. It is that simple to get a cinematic experience in the comfort of your home just streaming from your mobile device.
