Cast from Chrome to your TV

Use your PC and Chromecast device to show a Chrome tab or your screen on your TV.

You can cast most web content. Some plugins won't work, like Silverlight, QuickTime, and VLC.

To show Chrome on your TV, you need:

Cast a tab from Chrome

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.
  2. At the top right, select More More and then Save and share and then Cast….
  3. Choose the Chromecast device you want to use.
    • If the Chromecast is already in use, the current content is replaced.
  4. To end the cast, on the right of the address bar, select Cast  and then Stop casting.

Tip: On Chromecast-enabled sites, cast directly from the media player.

What you'll find in Chrome

  • When you cast a tab to a TV, a Display icon Display appears on the tab.
  • When there's an active Cast session, the Cast connected icon appears to the right of the address bar next to your extensions.

To use a shortcut in Chrome, add the Cast button.

Tip: The videos or images you cast appear on your computer and TV, but the sound only plays on your TV. Sounds for other tabs and apps still play on your computer.
