Two years ago we launched Google Cast, an extension for Chrome that allowed you to show content from your favorite websites on the best screen in your home—your TV—using Chromecast. Whether watching your favorite show on Netflix, or sharing a photo slideshow at a family gathering, Google Cast makes it easy to extend the web to the big screen. Open the Chrome browser on your laptop. Add the Cast extension from the Chrome Web Store. Visit any website in Chrome. Click the Cast button in the Chrome browser and select your VIZIO SmartCast ™ device.
Stream content from Google Chrome directly to your TV via Wi-FI using a Chromecast device, with this lightweight app that helps you install and configure Google Cast
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.
Send live content from your Mac to your TV via Wi-Fi using a Chromecast device
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.
Cast Google Chrome tabs and play content directly on your TV
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. Spotfiles 3 0 10 download free.
Useful Chromecast setup tool that, sadly, cannot stream content from other applications
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.

All in all, 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.
