What is Google Chromecast? Chromecast is a streaming dongle, made by Google, that plugs into a
television via HDMI. That's its most basic definition, but it's so much
more. It offers a wireless gateway to video, music, photos and apps that
make your television the center of the internet.
I went ahead and purchased Chromecast and have been playing with it for a couple weeks and below please find my review, (you can press the picture and takes you where I purchased the dongle.)
Installation is a breeze, you can get Started in 3 Easy Steps
Chromecast works with apps like Netflix , YouTube, and Plex for streaming video but also allows users to open a Chrome tab remotely, on their big screen. This means anything from the internet can be played through the device and onto your television. But users with smart TVs might say, "I already have that why would I want to pay for it again?" The answer lies in an open ecosystem. Rather than making apps for each different TV, developers can make one that works on any TV via Chromecast. Recently more apps were added with chromecast support, including the PLEX app! Other editions are: HBO Go, Hulu Plus, Pandora, Vevo, Redbull.tv, Songza, Post TV, Viki, Real Player Cloud.
