How to Chromecast to your TV for event night:

Instructions for iPhone or iPad:

  1. Make sure that your iOS device and Chromecast are connected to the same Wi-Fi network
  2. Open Youtube, which supports Chromecast
  3. Load the video you want to cast
  4. Tap the Cast button, a square with three curved lines like the Wi-Fi symbol coming out of the corner
  5. If you only have a single Chromecast on the network, the video should start playing immediately. If not, you'll see a list of available devices, and you'll have to tap on the one you want to cast the video to

 

If you don’t see the Cast button, either your app doesn’t have Chromecast support, or your Chromecast isn’t connected to the same network.

 

Instructions for Android:

  • Casting your Android screen is available on devices running Android 5.0 or later
  • Turn off "Power Saving Mode" on your Android device. Power Saving Mode can limit the processing power of your device which might affect the performance of the Cast Screen feature
  • Important: The "Microphone" permission in the Google Play Services app needs to be turned on to successfully use the "Cast Screen/Audio" feature with Chromecast
  • To turn on microphone permissions:
    1. On your Android device, tap Settings
    2. Scroll down and tap Apps, then Google Play Services, then Permissions.
    3. Look for "Microphone" and slide the slider on

     

Cast your screen:

  1. Make sure your mobile phone or tablet is on the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast device
  2. Tap on a Chromecast-supported app (YouTube). Make sure the app is up-to-date. You can check this in the Google Play Store
  3. Tap Cast (square with three curved lines like the Wi-Fi symbol coming out of the corner)
  4. Choose the device you’re going to cast to, then tap Cast
