How to cast from Chromebook 6 Methods

The best thing about a tablet or laptop is its speed and efficiency. However, the screen size can be a problem if you are using it to watch online videos or listen to music. For instance, watching a movie on a large-screen TV is way more enjoyable than watching it on a laptop or tablet, such as Chromebook.

Chromebook’s amazing features make it extremely flexible and can easily be cast to other devices. Let’s see how different devices can be cast to Chromebooks.

How to cast from Chromebook on TV

You can easily transfer your Chromebook to a smart TV, so you can watch your favorite shows and movies on a bigger screen. Once you know how to do this, you can turn your house into a movie theatre for movie nights or family gatherings.

You can cast from Chromebook or Chromebook to TV in two ways:

1 – Connect your Chromebook to your TV using an HDMI cable

An HDMI cable can be used to connect your Chromebook to a smart television if it has an HDMI port. If your Chromebook has a USB port, you will need a USB adapter to connect it with an HDMI cable.

These are the steps to connect Chromebook and TV with an HDMI cable.

1. Connect one end of your HDMI cable to the port on the Chromebook. If you are using an adapter, then first connect the HDMI cable to the adapter and then insert the other end of the HDMI cable into one of the USB-C ports available on your Chromebook.
2. Next, plug the HDMI cable’s other end into the TV. The HDMI ports on HDTVs are usually located on the sides of the screen, at the bottom, or on the rear panel.
3. Turn on your Chromebook and then boot it up.
4. Turn on the TV, and choose the appropriate input channel (e.g HDMI1, HDMI2, etc.).
5. This allows the TV to display a partial screen from your Chromebook. You may need to adjust the TV settings to switch to full-screen mode. Click on the CLOCK in the bottom right corner of the screen and then click on “Settings (gear icon).
6. After Chromebook settings have been displayed scroll down to locate the “Devices” option, and then click “Displays”.
7. Make sure to enable the box called “Mirror Internal Display”.

Your entire Chromebook screen should now be visible on your HDTV. You will notice a much bigger view of your tablet/laptop screen as you browse the internet and open apps like normal. This is one of the most common ways to stream movies and videos on YouTube and Netflix.

2 – Connect your Chromebook to your TV wirelessly

Chromecast is compatible with all Chromebook tablets and laptops. If you wish to cast Chromebook to your TV wirelessly or without cables, once Chromecast has been installed, these are the steps to follow.
