In these days of confinement it is more important than ever to find good entertainment, something that allows us to pass the time as quickly as possible. Among many other things, bringing the contents of your mobile to the television is one of the best alternatives. For this, it is best to connect the mobile phone to a Chromecast to send the contents.
From our mobile we can bring content of all kinds to the television, even if it is not smart, thanks to wireless connectivity , through Wi-Fi, with a Google Chromecast, a device designed to send content to televisions.
How to connect your phone to a Chromecast
Basically, in addition to the Chromecast , something obvious, we need to download the Google Home app, which is the Google operations center from which we can add new devices to the Google Internet of Things ecosystem. Well, once we have both elements, we must do the following:
- Connect your mobile to the same Wifi network where you are going to connect the Chromecast.
- In the case of a Chromecast Ultra, it can also be connected through the Ethernet network to the same router that your mobile connects to, using a network cable.
- Open the Google Home app.
- Follow the steps shown on the screen.
- You will have to confirm the code that appears on the TV to finish the configuration.
In the event that nothing has happened, and the steps have not been shown on the TV to continue with the configuration, it can be easily forced from the Google Home app itself.
To do this we must click on the “+” button and select “configure device” . Normally, in the event that both devices are connected to the same network, you will not have any more trouble following the installation steps that will be displayed on the television.
I can’t configure it, solutions?
It is not uncommon for problems to arise when configuring a Chromecast , they are so unpredictable that there is no exact recipe to solve them, but we advise you to try the following if you see that there are problems with the installation.
- If your mobile does not detect the Chromecast , check if it is connected to the same Wifi network as the Chromecast, and vice versa
- In the event that the problems persist and the Chromecast is not recognized, try restarting it, it is something that can be done by clicking on the physical button on its edge.
- If it persists, also restart your phone, or close the Google Home app and reopen it, these are obvious steps, but the vast majority of times solve the problem.
