What is Chromecast?
Chromecast allows you to stream videos from your phone, tablet, or computer directly to a Chromecast-connected TV. Easily project YouTube videos onto a larger screen or share content with everyone in the room.
The hardware, a dongle with an HDMI port and an internal computer, connects to your TV and links to your WiFi network for seamless streaming.
Unlike some competitors, Chromecast avoids the complexity of navigating internal operating systems. Syncing your mobile device is as simple as pressing a button.
Though not entirely wireless, as it requires a power cord, Chromecast supports sharing content from Android smartphones (version 4.0.3 and above), iOS devices (version 7.0 and above), the Chrome browser, and ChromeOS desktops.
