You should also be able to turn on your TV by just selecting the cast button on laptop if the Chromecast is permanently powered. It is best to use the power supply provided with the Chromecast in this situation so it's always on. Think of your laptop as a remote controller for the streaming of video when using the TV.Īnother thing to be careful of with using the TV USB port is that if you turn on the TV then try to stream straight away, the Chromecast might not be booted up yet. The laptop controls the streaming but does not do it through the device, it streams through your wireless network. I paid $100 some 5 years ago and now just 50. yet decided to return it 3 years later, way past the warranty expired. I did buy the first chromecast that came out yet I got a faulty one that did not work. In hindsight I should have bought an apple dongle, but this seems to work just fine. Searching the net for the issue only reinforced the idea that it was no longer possible to do. How come it keeps on screening?Īnyway, good that I could figure it out thanks to you.

How come I also closed the laptop and the movie kept on going? I thought to cast means to send the laptop screen to the TV. The annoying side of "new technology" is the flimsy unstable precarious amd improvised nature of the programs that run them, most just like some early high school project done on a low budget and sold for the price of a kilo white truffles.Īnd the cordless tools are not much different, all of them so far are a compromise and a trade in of something, mostly power, for the convenience of no cable and at the expense of added weight. Yep, that is the paragraph I couldn't understand since I tried before and for some reason it did not work. Tonight I try to cast from the laptop without using the phone at all. Youtube worked too, despite my initial failed attempt. All good, only I think i had two things running because I had a hard time to stop it at the end. I started Netflix with the phone, then searched on the computer and casted the movie. Not sure if it was the way intended to work. This setup change has no impact on the ability to Cast tabs, video, or audio from Chrome for Mac, Windows, and Linux to a Chromecast or other Chromecast-enabled device, like Google Home, once everything is operational. Chrome 72 for Mac, Windows, and Linux is expected to hit stable in late January.
#CHROMECAST DMG TRIAL#
This deprecation is already live in Chrome’s beta channel, with chrome://cast still available but only to determine whether your Chromecast qualifies for special offers like a trial of a streaming service, and not initiate setup.

However, a Chromium commit (via Reddit) notes “Cast Setup in Chrome is deprecated and is being removed in M72.” That setup page no longer links to this option, though chrome://cast can still manually be navigated to with Chrome 71. Users were previously directed to chrome://cast wherein the browser would being “Searching for Cast devices” and walk users through selecting the right dongle, entering a confirmation code, device naming, Wi-Fi credentials, and more. This page previously included a “set up your chromecast using this computer” option in addition to Play Store and App Store download links.

After plugging in the steaming dongle to your TV, the Chromecast initially displays a /setup URL.

To set up your Chromecast, please use a mobile device. We no longer support Chromecast setup on a computer. Am I missing something? Do I have the wrong dongle? Is there a different one for laptop? Even the image on the TV when setting up seems to point to a phone and not a laptop. I gave up after a few more searches and stream from the phone, but I hate the phone screen and the puny limited way to search. The only thing there is, is what you see below. Only problem is that when I go to Chromecast Setup there is no "blue download button" nor "Chromecast app for mac".
