I have this chromecast thing for years, and couldn't get it to work!!!!, after your video, I now have it working 😊 thank you ❤
Thankyou!! I had moved the screen and was confused about connections at back of screen, especially the 'source' bit. You are a lifesaver!!!
Chromecast has proven to be the most confusing thing I've worked with in years. It's appalling

Mine stopped working too. Tried resetting it unpowered and repowered devices. It's streamed great four years until the other day when I lost Internet service. After that repair and regaining internet no Chromecast device found. Had my Chromecast plugged into port number to of my stereo receiver. From the receiver goes into my Samsung TV there a dmi cable. It worked great for years but now I can't get it to. I tried rebooting everything including Chromecast device. Still no Chromecast device found? Do you know what I can do next? Still on Chromecast device found on my phone. For example on a KZread video I have the Chromecast symbol button but when pressed no device found.
i just can't fine all the passwords and user names to get started so many passwords but you did a good job on the video .thanks

Thank you madame for the excellent information. I just got my Google Chrome cast 3rd generation, non remote, . When I plugged it in, instead of English, it displays Chinese language , instead of English, do you think the language could be an impediment to set up this device?
Can we use chromecast to connect to audio speakers and then use Spotify connect or tidal connect from our phone? Or is it just for TV?
Thankyou, even me from the dark ages could follow this ♡ Why isn't everything this clear ?
Thank you
Thank you sooooooo much
Thankyou ❤️
Works great on my family room TV just got one for my son so he can watch anything he wants to on his TV!! All I need is his phone to download the home app to it so my phone so we dont have to use my phone for family room on his chrome cast so wish me luck...
thank you this video has helped me alot !!
If I get a Chromecast I will definitely Use it For Netflix and HBO Max 😁, Great Video by the way this video is very helpful I just hope that Chromecast could still work Without a Roku and a FireStick though I hope 🙏
Mine says Chromecast found and it has the correct number but there colored code is never shown on either device, only the wifi menu opens but if I close it, I'm told connection unsuccessful
Nice Simplified Set-up Instructions! Wondered if anyone here knows how to make our *Chromecasts* _"lock-down"_ as *Secure* on the *SSID* *List,* that everyone can see? My Chromecast always shows up as unsecure in the SSID window. Thus, I simply unplug my little "puck" when I'm done and place it back in the box until the next casting time.
THANKYOU so much....you are a life saver. 😊🇦🇺
Good job 👏
Can I share the control to other people in tge house? Or it is only my phone that I can use to cast?
You make the instructions very easy , my devise is connected. Thank you very much.
can I use usb input for power from the same tv ? to avoid plug into the wall
Thanks 🤟🏻
Do you need a smart tv to use Chromecast? Coz I don't have a home internet connection, can I use the internet on my phone?
how do you connect the device to network if its already set a old network.
can i stream any app on tv with chromecast or only selected ones like netflix
want to ask please I use 4k chromcast, but the wifi doesn't work on my cellphone. If the setting is cast on iOS, it will immediately go to the WiFi, if it is set to Android, it will immediately disappear. I'm pakae vivo. I have restarted and unplugged the usb several times but it still fails. What do you think about this solution? Mksh
will it work on a samsung HD Ready smart tv with inbuilt cast...will i be able to cast my PC using chrome browser onto the tv via google chromecast...samsung smart tv does not support wat i cast from my pc chrome browser...youtube works fine...thats it
If I'm using the phone as a WiFi hotspot for the Chromecast (because there is no other WiFi), can this still be done?
Oh wow. Just tried it. What a train wreck nightmare. Last month we tried and failed and got the thing to just display pictures. Today I tried to jump back in and get it working for real this time. 2 hours later, many videos websites and forums, can’t get it 😂
I’m using a chromecast since 4 years ago, now I need down load a new app to start streaming from a new tv provider. How do I go to the main screen on my chromecast to download the new app? Thanks

In nutshell, this means both casting device and Chromecast itself has to be in same network. However there are many possible setups. For instance my Chromecast 3 gets internet via Ethernet and I cast mostly via 5 GHz Wifi and 2.4 GHz Wifi but as both wifi interfaces and ethernet switch are bridged on router and access point, it runs perfectly :)
How to upgrade from old chemecast to new chrome cast with Google TV.
These setup videos are incomplete. You can also use your phone hotspot to setup. After setup you have 2 methods to cast to tv. 1. "Mirror" via the home app. This method means you cannot use your hp for other things but it's free and does not consume any hotspot data. 2. "Cast " using the cast button on the videos itself. It will consume hotspot data but you can use your hp while casting. Note: my telco plan comes with unlimited data with 5gb limited hotspot

I tried connecting my Chromecast dongle to our Caravan TV but I get as far as “I’m in” step and then I try connecting to the internet hotspot ting from my mobile and it can’t find my phone despite typing in the network (mobile phone) name, security password, it just can’t find it. Very frustrating, can anyone help me. The dongle was previously used on our previous lounge TV before we bought a smart TV. Thanks in advance. Jules
