How to Use Chromecast for Mac
Chromecast setup on Mac is easy and it changes everything in regards to digital media streaming. Using this Chromecast for Mac will be possible to view content on a big screen in the comfort of your home or even at the office.
What is Chromecast?
Chromecast is a line of digital media players developed by Google which enables users with a mobile device or personal computer to initiate and control the playback of Internet-streamed audio-visual content on a high-definition television or home audio system through mobile and web apps that support the Google Cast technology.
What are the requirements for setting Chromecast?
To broadcast audio or video wirelessly from your Mac to the big screen (TV), you will need a Google Chromecast, a Television or projector, Chrome web browser (free for Mac), a WiFi network, and of course a Mac computer.
Connecting your Chromecast
Connect your Google Chromecast to the HDMI socket on Mac. Insert your USB Micro-B connector into your Google Chromecast dongle, and connect the USB Type-A connector into a USB port on the Mac.
Google Chromecast setup
To successfully set up the Google Chromecast, you need to connect to a WiFi network on your Mac. This needs to be the same WiFi network you want your Chromecast to connect to and use. Remember that Chromecast requires a constant network connection to function correctly and does not work correctly offline.
Open your Chrome web browser and go to http://www.chromecast.com/setup, download the Chromecast DMG by clicking the blue download button and install the Chromecast app for Mac. Make sure to agree to the license terms (after reading them) and click the ACCEPT button.
After clicking the accept button, the app will search for available Chromecast devices on your network.
If your Mac is unable to find your Chromecast, check your Wifi or switch your Mac's WiFi network to 2.4 GHz mode instead of 5GHZ or mixed.
Next, configure the Chromecast by clicking the blue Set Up button. Click the appropriate setup button next to your detected Chromecast and select your country from the dropdown list.
Make sure the displayed code on your Chromecast app is the same as the code showing on your Mac screen. Ensure you double-check the laws before clicking the "that's my code button," you wouldn't want to pair to another Chromecast in your house accidentally!
Once you are connected, a confirmation message will display on your Mac and television, "Congratulations! You are ready to cast".
