Using your Phone

Step 1: Connect your devices

 

• Connect both your phone and your Chromecast-enabled TV (or other casting device) to the same Wi-Fi network. 

 

Step 2: Cast the content

 

Open the Google Chrome app on your phone.

Go to a website with a video you want to watch.

Tap the video to make the player controls appear.

If your device is ready to cast, a cast icon will appear in the bottom right of the player controls.

Tap the cast icon. A pop-up will appear showing nearby castable devices.

 

• Select your TV from the list to start casting. 

 

 

Step 3: Control the playback

 

• Once casting, you can use the player controls on your phone to pause, rewind, or fast-forward the video.
• If you navigate away from the video page, you may lose the controls. To regain them, you will need to go back to the video page to access them again

 

Add the Cast button to the Chrome toolbar

Though not required, recommend you pin the Cast button to your Chrome toolbar. This will allow for easier access to Cast functionality from any web page.

To pin the Cast button to the Chrome toolbar:

1. In your Chrome browser, click More   Save and Share   Cast...
2. The Cast button will temporarily appear in your toolbar. To keep it there permanently, right-click the Cast button , then click Always show icon.

If the Cast button is already pinned to your toolbar on your browser, you'll find the Cast button in the Chrome toolbar.

 

 Note:

The 1Movies tab when used on Times Past with Chrome Browser has a icon    to cast to TV in bottom right after video starts to play.
