Chromecast

What is Chromecast and how does it work?

Chromecast is a streaming media player that plugs into your TV via HDMI, letting you stream video from services such as Netflix and Hulu.

But instead of including a traditional remote control, Chromecast uses the apps that are already on your phone or tablet to send video to the television. Supported apps display a Cast button, which you can press to connect with Chromecast. Select a video and playback begins on your television a few seconds later. This works with both iOS and Android apps

If you have a laptop or desktop running Google’s Chrome browser, you can also cast from the websites of some streaming services, provided you first install the Google Cast extension. Just look for the Cast button among the website’s playback controls.
