Many media streams (YouTube, iPlayer etc.) are compatible with Chromecast. You can access these through the Chrome browser or through the player’s app on your mobile device.

Look for the cast icon in the corner of the player. Click it and then select the relevant room from the list that appears of available devices. (Please make sure that, you pick the correct Media Room).

7. Stop casting

Do not forget to stop casting, especially if you are mirroring your device’s screen; you may end up accidentally sharing private information with everyone else!

Tips & Troubleshooting

1. Volume control is done through your device and the TV screen. If you’re not getting any sound, first check the volume is turned up on your device AND on the TV.
2. Attempting to share videos by mirroring your screen while playing the video may result in poor quality video and audio log. Instead, load the video in a player like YouTube, then cast as in step 5. This will automatically switch the Chromecast to streaming mode and result in the highest possible quality video. To switch back to mirroring your screen, just follow step 6 again.
