Like this device, use it to cast my TV apps from my phone or Chromebook screen when I need an extra screen while working. Hides very well behind my 55" tv.

The Chromecast dongle is super easy to use and has made movie night a regular event in our house. The ease of streaming from my phone or I pad along with voice control from google home makes this a fun toy.

What a handy little gadget for those of us who are looking to dabble our toes in the smart world without getting drenched! This was the greatest thing about upgrading to a flat screen TV!! We are a Google house so this was certainly a MUST HAVE!! Simply plug it in and follow the prompts and within minutes you are watching your Google photos on the BIG SCREEN! We love to watch movies and shows thru various TV apps, and you can control it thru your Google Home with your voice. For those of us that don't want to get bogged down with too much tech in our homes... this is the answer!!!

The micro-sized booklet did not need much information because there were only three steps to follow, with pictures. As for having to have the information on my iPhone to appear on a big screen, I only have to click on the Cast icon.

Great Device for Older TV

Item was excellent for older model tv with HDMI port.
Able to cast screen from phone to tv for big screen viewing.
Quick and easy to installation.
A:AnswerYES
It gives you two options, fortunately:
Plug both ends of chromecast into your tv.... one hdmi and one USB port necessary on tv to do this or
Plug the hdmi side into an hdmi port on the tv and use the removable power cord to connect to a power source .
A:AnswerAs far controlling devices? Yes, as long as your computer or tablet is compatible(it would have to be really ancient for it not work) and are using compatible app. I personally use videostream for movies on my PC because it comes with a mobile app, meaning I watch on my TV movies that are saved on my pc, using my phone(there are probably newer/better apps out now, but I've never felt the need to look).
Chromecast can also mirror a device's screen so it would show a PowerPoint presentation on a TV if it is also on the computer screen that is being mirrored. You would still have to use your computer to change slides, though.
A:AnswerYes, this device can be moved to a different TV and used with any phone that fits the requirements. That being said, the issue is that it needs to be connected to wireless internet to work, so you would have to join it to the wireless at the other house, and connect again. This sometimes requires a factory reset of the device to accomplish.
A:AnswerThis device needs a Wi-Fi network to connect to. As long as your phone is able to act as a mobile hotspot, you will be able to connect the device to the Wi-Fi network generated by your phone. This will use your phone data plan.
A:AnswerYou would want to connect the hotspot to your Chromecast first. Once that is done then you would mirror your phone to the Chromecast through your Google home app on your phone and then it would show the Amazon or anything else on your phone to your TV.
