- [Instructor] Okay, the first thing you got to know
about casting, when it comes to certain apps
like Disney Plus, is you need a Google Chromecast
or TV that's compatible that you can cast to your TV.
These things are amazing because, there is that essence
is that smart TVs go extinct,
these Chromecast can cast a lot of things,
Amazon Prime,
YouTube,
they can cast Netflix, all these things,
and you don't even need a smart TV.
So you can get an older TV,
get one of these devices
and plug it into your TV, then connect,
and then you can cast.
So let's go through the thing,
and then I'll show you how to cast
from your cell phone and tablet.
First things first,
you connect the power to this Chromecast,
which you plug it in, and it's attached.
And then you got to plug this HDMI cable
into one of your HDMI ports on the back.
And you only have so many available,
so plug this in, when this Chromecast is powered on,
and we'll go from there.
First thing, go to the input on your device,
and you can check to see and switch over to the Chromecast.
Let's go through it,
I don't know if it's a two or a three just go through.
And then you'll find out which one is actually connected.
So it must be a one.
And here we go, boom.
Okay, so now you can see that this download
and open the Google Home app.
So you have to install the Google Home app,
and then put the code...
you have to go
to the put the connect
to with your Wi-Fi
to that code in the bottom right here.
And the Chromecast and a number I provided the blue ray
with codes mine.
And then we go we do that.
So let's go ahead and do that
and set up this Chromecast.
So you got to connect to your mobile device,
your cell phone in the Google Home app.
So open the Google Home app,
I'm on my iPhone,
this can be your Android either also.
You got to install this Google Home app,
see in the top here.
It's also beneficial to install
the Google Home assistant also just do that.
But if you go into Google Home app
that you've been told to on the screen,
because you plug the Google Chrome device in.
Now when you're in here,
you see the settings here in the top area.
Now I've got a lot of different areas open here
that it's some about my Smart Home.
Click the gear right here,
and if you scroll down,
you'll see
that there's
a
add a new device right there, Add.
So add that and now you have to do a setup a new device.
So go ahead and click Setup.
And set up a new device.
Okay, and now in where's the home?
So you'll see your Home that has been set up,
you go next,
and turn on Bluetooth.
So you have to do that, I guess I didn't have
that on I should have, would have made things easier.
Boom, and now it's looking.
And it'll keep looking.
This is funny cause it does take a bit
for it to look.
It surprise me, it takes,
but it has to go through your Wi-Fi,
it's looking around your network.
Now, I guess it's looking for the Chromecast
that you plugged into your TV, and boom,
there it is, with the correct number.
So I'm gonna click on it right now.
And I'm gonna record my screen also
on my TV so you can see what's going on at the same time.
Well next, and now it's connecting.
And on the TV, it says follow the instructions.
And now it's trying to connect through my cell phone
to my TV.
Now it's gave a code.
There's the code,
and it just confirm that it's the right code.
And you say yes.
And now goes, you wanna improve sure,
give all your data to Google.
Sure, why not?
Now where's this device?
Put it where it is.
I know where it is, in mine,
I have a Smart Home setup,
and I'm just making it more and more connected.
And I know where my Wi-Fi
isn't gonna connect to the proper Wi-Fi,
cause it all you have to connect to your Wi-Fi,
so you should be already attached to that
on your cell phone device,
and all of it syncs.
So essentially, your cell phone
is becoming a casting device,
a controller that can control and throw things to your TV.
And that's really what's going on.
It'll reset your TV, it'll update
the TV and the firmware on the Chromecast,
while you're you're actually setting things up
on your phone,
and it'll slowly
update both.
And I'll go through this process
and then you'll be able to control things
from cell phone on various rooms,
say the kids are downstairs watching TV,
you can shut it off.
(laughs)
But the real thing is that
you'll be able to cast Disney Plus from the Disney Plus app
or the Amazon Prime video
or the Netflix from your phone and send it over
to your smart TV or your non smart TV
that be a smart because you plugged in a Chromecast.
Chromecast is an add on to your TV to make it smart.
It was put into the market before smart TVs
to make non smart TVs smart.
And honestly they are better peripheral these days
than the other, I wish I could just continue
to buy really good TVs that don't have the smart technology
that could save date and just keep plugging this thing in,
cause throwing it is what it's all in this.
So now says linking your Chromecast
and I go continue.
And the TV is doing its own thing.
And this is real time.
And I'm gonna go, state,
I don't need to, I've done this many times.
So I'm just gonna say, no thanks for now.
My TV is restarting,
and my app on my phone, is getting going.
And really, I'm just gonna show you
that once this is all say, is almost done,
here's a review of what you've done,
device is through where it is
my room services that are available,
and it's connected through a Wi-Fi.
And I'm like, Yes, it is.
And so now on my TV,
my Chromecast is updating.
And you'll see that on your TV just like you do here
in this video.
And it will continue to do that.
It's all in the update firmware,
means this firmware is like a little memory chip
on whatever device you have.
It gets updated, in companies that support your devices,
update things on your devices, here and there,
from your ps3,
to your
I mean, like even audio equipment,
to your Chromecast, to your TV needs to be updated
when you first buy it.
A lot of devices and through the internet,
the internet can update your devices.
And that's what the firmware is being updated.
So in whatever date you are now,
it will give you the most updated version
of the software so that it can send the signal
and receive the casting.
So on your phone, you see this,
and on your TV, it should be updating,
and the Chromecast should be beginning.
I've already installed the Disney app.
So once this is ready,
I'm now gonna show you what it's like
to send something from my cell phone,
which could still cast from my tablet.
Both a tablet and a cell phone is a mobile device,
just to let you know, they're both mobile devices.
And they both have the apps
that scale on those peripherals, those devices.
And then you can simply click the Cast button
when you want to and send it.
So here we go.
Almost done.
And look at that finishing,
setup in your Home app then get to know,
so that's pretty awesome.
And it gives like, this three to four minutes thing.
And Sure why not?
Exit setup, resume.
So there it is.
Choose a sample clip.
I don't need this is gonna say,
I'm gonna just skip the tutorial
because the tutorial is there, but finished the tutorial.
Now it's set up.
So now I'm gonna go back to my apps,
and I'm gonna go find my Disney app.
Okay.
And I think I installed it.
(giggles)
Yeah, there it is.
And here it is.
So I go in, it's just kind of like a Netflix app.
And I'm gonna go in and it's gonna start up.
There's a seven day free trial, by the way,
I wish it was 30.
But Disney is really awesome,
and you got to give it a try anytime of the year.
So let's log in.
And I'm gonna log in,
and we're gonna to go.
And, do do do do do do.
And we're continuing, don't need to show
and then I'm gonna log in my password
on my cell phone.
And then well you can choose different profile,
I like different profiles.
So I'm gonna log into mine.
And I'm gonna go in
and then I'm gonna go to watch,
let's start with Disney TOGO.
So cool man and his dog, just like me and my dog.
I love my dog, Mika is so beautiful.
And then I'm gonna go play.
Okay, so, first I'll see in the top right here,
see this little cast icon, that's the casting icon.
So I can click on that, you can click on that stream to
and then select the living room TV and boom.
This is what's showing up on my TV now.
It's interesting, it's kind of like a half bar
but it's now connecting that Disney is coming from my phone,
to the Chromecast, on my TV and now it's ready.
So if I click play on my phone right now,
right here, click it.
Boom, it should throw it to my TV.
Go get the popcorn, chips, healthy snacks,
and enjoy yourself and here we go.
Oh, look at that guy's absolutely
beautiful.
Oh, let's turn the music up.
Yep, there it is.
Absolutely wonderful.
