How to chrome cast a video

By in Uncategorized Tag , ,

The videos I produce are best experienced on a modern TV. I’m going to explain how you can stream my YouTube content from your computer or mobile device using Google’s casting service, chrome cast, on your smart TV.

>>>>>> With your Chrome Cast enabled Smart TV turned on

STEP 1 LOAD VIDEO IN YOUTUBE 

On your computer or mobile device. Click the YouTube Logo on the video. This launches the YouTube app or on your computer loads the video on YouTube.com in your browser.

STEP 2 SEND VIDEO TO TV 

Click the Chrome Cast icon on the video within YouTube per Step 1. Then select your TV from the dialog that pops up.

WAIT this can take up to ten seconds as your TV loads the YouTube app and your internet connection buffers the video to start streaming.

Did it work?

I spent thousands of hours of my life creating these videos so you can watch them in the comfort of your living room on your big screen TV. I’d hate for you to have to watch them on your computer or worse yet your smart phone.

Drop me a line and I’ll personally walk you through how to watch the videos on your TV if you cannot get this to work out.

Troubleshooting Tips

You have to use Chrome Browser if at a computer.

You have to have YouTube app on your phone to get to cast from your phone.

You have to have a smart TV that supports Chrome Cast (I’m not sure of a smart TV that doesn’t).

Screen mirroring IS NOT the same as casting. This decreases the quality of the video.

Technology is lovely isn’t it? Who ever made this stuff so complicated!!!???

I've been hard on jeans since childhood when my single most important job was to stuff my Fisher Price camera in my pocket and set out to explore. My mission was to photograph animals I wanted to make pets such as squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits. A sense of adventure propelled me deeper into the grassy fields of rural Nebraska. My trusty sidekick Domino (pet dog) was a great companion always by my side. An old Schwinn bicycle served my iron horse. We set our sights set on the distant horizon over which, somewhere, the rolling hills of Nebraska had to turn into mountains. Years later I landed on that distant horizon asked to make aerospace parts whatever those must be. I was a long ways from those squirrels and endless cornfields in Nebraska. I'm also few boot sizes bigger from those days, but still armed with my cameras and and a sense of adventure. Only this time I have a vast desert and dozens of mountain ranges to explore. The wilderness here hasn't much changed since the original Spanish colonists arrived nearly 500 years ago. Heck I imagine this place is not much different than when God created it. What has changed is the internet. Nobody grew up dreaming of being an internet sensation, rotary phones were still the big thing! The only viral videos to be found were on Saturday morning of Wile E Coyote chasing the roadrunner.
