Chromecast For Mac

Chromecast devices allow you to play various types of content on your TV directly from Google Chrome, without having to tangle yourself in a forest of cables. They are plugged into the target device and communicate with your Mac via Wi-Fi.

The Chromecast app enables you to check whether or not the device has been installed correctly, and can help you set up the Google Cast Chrome extension to stream content from your browser.

In order to use this app you will, of course, need a Chromecast device, along with a high-definition television that comes equipped with an HDMI input. Once the device has been plugged in and powered on, you should make sure both your Mac and the TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Finally, the Chromecast app should detect the device and help you download and install the necessary Google Chrome extension.

Once the Google Cast extension has been installed, you can press the Cast button to begin sending a live stream to your Chromecast device, which then plays in on your TV in real-time.

You can choose between various quality settings, depending on the state of your Wi-Fi connection, to cast content in 480p, 720p or 1080p.

While being able to stream movies or other types of media from Google Chrome can be very handy, it is sadly not possible to cast content from any other application. Also, your device cannot be configured from the desktop app, as its settings can only be modified using the browser extension.

If you own a Chromecast device and want to set it up and cast content from Google Chrome in no time, this tool can help you out. Unfortunately, however, you cannot stream media from any other app.
