This article provides instructions on how to optimize your Chromecast, including how to speed up casting and how to optimize your computer or mobile device for Chromecast use.

There are a number of ways you can improve the data transfer speed of your casting, reducing the chance of your video stuttering or pausing.

One of the easiest ways to speed up your casting experience with your Chromecast is to stream content directly from your device instead of over the internet.

This works because when you cast from a service like YouTube or Netflix, the data transfer for that stream happens over the internet from the streaming service to your Chromecast device. By casting directly, you remove the delay caused by the internet.
