5 Can't-Miss Tips for That New Chromecast You Just Got

As the new owner of Google's media streaming dongle for your TV, you're probably excited to plug it in and get to watching. But beyond the basics, you can get more mileage out of your Chromecast if you make sure to take these tips into account. Before you begin, download the Google Home app from your Android or iOS store to make setup easier. If you've already got the app, or use Google Home devices, it should detect the presence of a new device after you plug the Chromecast in and power it on. Start by connecting all the services you use to the Google Home app for easy operation once your Chromecast is powered up and ready to go.
