The beauty of a Chromebook is that Google Chrome OS has built-in support for Chromecast devices, meaning you don’t need a browser or extension to cast your Chromebook’s screen. Here’s how to use Chromecast with your Chromebook.
How to Mirror Your Chromebook Screen to a TV with Chromecast
To get started, you’ll need to have Chromecast installed and streaming your content. Next, make sure your Chromecast is updated to the latest firmware. Your Chromebook will also need to be updated to the latest version of Chrome OS.
If you already have a Chromecast connected to your TV, you don’t need to physically connect your Chromebook to watch media. Without a Chromecast, you’ll need to run an HDMI cable from your Chromebook to your TV. You may even need a USB-C adapter, depending on your Chromebook model.
Built-in Cast support in Chrome OS means you can simply click a button and cast your desktop to a Chromecast. It’s probably the easiest, shortest way to get media on your TV.
