How to cast to your TV with Chromecast

Last updated: 2026-06-28

If you have a Chromecast or a TV with Google TV, you can cast any channel from your phone to the big screen wirelessly.

Step by step

  1. Check the network. Your phone and Chromecast must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. Tap the cast icon. While watching a channel, tap the Cast icon at the top of the player.
  3. Choose your device. Select your Chromecast or TV from the list. The channel moves to the TV and you can control playback from your phone.

Tips

  • If no device appears, check that both are on the same network and the Chromecast is powered on.
  • To stop casting, tap the Cast icon again and choose “Stop”.
  • If you have a Smart TV with the app installed, you may prefer to activate it with your account instead of casting.
