GREAT JOB on this, thanks! Just gave this as a gift to a non tech savvy friend, this will be very helpful

[@chrissy212e]

I was adjusting my TV while watching this video thank you very much this was very helpful.

[@mickeykat92]

You go here, then there and you select. Then you go there, and you chose the option here :P

[@HEYSERG]

😂😂😂

[@MAXIMUSICPRODUCTIONS]

Seriously, he doesn't take into account how fast and difficult for us to see where he's going with the submenus

[@tjaddejaevel]

After reading this I laughed everytime he went here and there

[@robaxl3088]

🤪😄😂

[@codyjarvis3426]

LOL TRUE

[@feechlamanna676]

Great work and advice 👍🏻

[@bvgvasger8642]

Thank you for the nice tricks. Also is nice to see making a comparison video between Firestick 4k vs G.Chromecast. Many thanks!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@joseaavellanet4322]

Great video, thanks for the info.

[@GeorgeNadaYT]

Great review. This device will bring new life to my old vizio TV from 2014😂 My TV's old app interface is terrible. So glad this device can turn the TV on and off too! My TV isn't 4k so I'll be getting the HD version.

[@sa7375]

Very useful tips indeed. Thanks

[@martingo2680]

honestly.. that option to just set up apps only mode is the only reason I'm going to buy it. your video showed me exactly what I was looking for.

[@toner37]

they must've gotten rid of that option. As I just picked it up the other day and like it but that area is not there. Unless I'm blinking and not seeing it now.

[@BiggSneaddd]

@@toner37 Look under accounts and u will see it

[@HokeyBugle]

This is a fantastic video! Thank you, many helpful tips. I have to say though, you use the word "simply" a lot.

[@aplleyva]

Just got mine. Thx for the info Very helpful

[@jeremycbarnhart2305]

Literally never noticed the volume buttons on the side! Thanks for this

[@Blackrose71]

Ok

[@ariothegamer5]

How do you not now that

[@gjaeigjiajeg]

this is very informative. Thank you very much. Is there any way to get Kodi to auto start on the Chromecast?

[@timconway141]

Thanks for the tips. This is a terrific device. Is it possible to get the remote to recognize multiple (2) voices?

[@alapia2]

great vid, i learned alot from you, thanks!

[@zacharylee1995]

I'm So Definitely adding This New Chromecast to my Christmas List 😁

[@DJaquithFL]

.. Unless you own VUDU movies or watch 4K content including Disney Plus or especially anything Dolby Vision. For whatever insane reason Google has decided to purposely blocked many 4K playback features. Literally you can't play anything 4K from VUDU.

[@randallswetnam]

The BEST I have seen for Chromecast!

[@nesceebee]

You have extremely nice review but I couldn’t find what I’m looking for. Example, if I connect this to a projector, is it possible during casting, you can split the sound to output in a Bluetooth Home Theater instead of projector sound output? I have connectivity issue in my home. The home theater is in front and the projector at the back. Using 3.5mm jack wired will not give you Dolby Atmos Surround quality. Thanks for your answer, appreciated.

[@stephensullivan527]

Super helpful!

[@chrissy212e]

@HotshotTek Hi how can you use your remote to switch channels on your standard TV channels ?🤔

[@galeworthington6358]

You’re very knowledgeable!

[@ianrsanchez]

Hey, do you know if you need to connect your receiver or soundbar through HDMI-ARC to be able to control them from your Google TV remote? Or can I just connect them through an Optical Cable.

[@rdb8299]

Very informative.

[@rhettsmedia]

Very nice presentation can the Chromecast TV enabled its user interface to speak like the Roku user interface does where it it announces the menu settings that it’s on as you go through the menu thank you

[@ramfreetx]

I did like your video you were very detailed, except for the consideration that not all people are excited! I am totally blind and I rely on KZbin videos to instruct me how to use different devices. I just bought the Chromecast with Google TV and wanted to know about some of the settings. In future if you could please actually say the settings it would be very useful to anybody that's vision impaired or blind. Thank you for that consideration if you do do that

[@Davey_01]

I am blind also and had the very same issue 👍🏻

[@robskelly64]

Hi Eduardo, when watching a sport replay, are you able to fast forward through the commentary to the start of a game , cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@myndcrym]

Great video except for "go here, here, there." I had to stop and rewind a dozen times to try to figure out where "here and here and there" was. But, overall very helpful video! Thanx!

[@synthwave7]

Thanks for this - really helped me - just bought a Chromecast TV and it has Android12. The most annoying thing is the poor mouse control. You need some mouse toggle app etc. Pity it is not built in.

[@First_Grafter]

You can change what the KZbin and Netflix buttons do with "button mapper" it's a bit of tinkering but does work

[@ThriftyCrafterMale]

Hello 👋 there great video awesome tips, tfs

[@IronTheFirst]

Nice review. Thanks! What about private listening feature?? Like the one Roku has ?? I loved that feature!

[@migue.7818]

You can add a wireless bluetooth headset or speaker and listen via. But it can only pair one device at a time. Sounds great.

[@migue.7818]

I am curious about speakers with party modes like Altec Lansing

[@iffy700]

I have a Ethernet LAN Micro USB Adapter that I use on my fire stick, can I use this on Google TV by just using a micro to c type converter adapter. Don't want to buy all new connection. Thanks.

[@teddyballgame4823]

I just subscribed to KZbin TV and they have a promotion of receiving a free Google TV. I have been using Chromecast since it came out. I have upgraded my TV to Nvidia Shield TV and love that. I will use Google TV on a spare TV in a small den. This is a very informative video that will help with the setup of mt Google TV. Thank you. Oh yeah, and I did subscribe to your channel after watching this video.

[@zacharylee_1995]

So excited to Buy The New Chromecast whenever I get a Chance and I can't Wait 😁

[@RedragonReviews]

I just brought it today at walmart. I can honestly say I don't regret it, smooth remote it gets time getting used to using it though

[@deborahsatge2075]

Hi! I just bought this little baby but i was wondering, is it possible to set up a timer or an alarm with it? Mine is saying that the device doesn't manage time... Is there something special to set up or it just something that i will not be able to have? Thanks

[@weir7580]

Thank you for this video... you made our remote so much easier to use 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@shervin6711]

Is there a way to use the remote for sound AND your phone for casting? I usually just use my phone as a controller. But others in house may prefer remote. HD version

[@sheilakarr6494]

Thank you!

[@CENTRAL76]

nice device and thanks for the video, but biggest issue is not being able to log out of google without losing all installed 3rd party apps, once that is figured out it will be great

[@therealunclep]

I'm wondering if I can disable the Rotten Tomatoes icon/reviews from showing up on the screen. Thanks in advance for any help. If it has to stay, it's going back to the store and back to Roku.

[@eddyjejm]

Good video. mine's coming this week.

[@valerianteritron4424]

I ordered mine today (in Sky blue) ready for x-mas days. Additionally I bought the Ethernet adapter for it, which Google provides. I have internet access near my TV so it makes sense to connect it via cable, not wifi.

[@MrSuperFly86]

Great video! I also wanted to know is there any way you can get a Nest Doorbell notification on the Chromecast Google TV? Like it shows on the Nest Home Hub, ie you can see the stream of the Doorbell as soon as someone rings the doorbell.

[@brucewayne-ej3cx]

Did u ever figure that out

[@MrSuperFly86]

@@brucewayne-ej3cx unfortunately no. Apparently it's not possible. I really don't understand why they can't integrate such an easy feature! But I assume it's so they can't sell their smart displays. Which are not very smart.

[@brucewayne-ej3cx]

@@MrSuperFly86 dang

[@diyoayuen1993]

I just bough one and was wondering, if I unplug the power outlet. Can the cast still work without being plug in?

[@macsan1234]

Hi My Chromecast is connected to my 4k projector which in turn is directly connected via arc hdmi. Many times i am not able to get sound after loading. I have to then toggle my projector cec setting on and off and I get sound back on my receiver. 2) I'm expecting my ethernet adaptor soon. Do I need to plugin both to power to make it work or only ethernet power is enough? Max speed I will get via ethernet is 100mbps?

[@oxygen026]

You have not really mentioned google home app and using your iphone or android phone as a remote. Not just in youtube. Pressumably it is possible, however, I am struggling to get it working right now at this moment. The app just says it is not currently possible and I should recheck whethere there is an update available on my chromecast 4. It is up to date though. Any thoughts?

[@jjackson85]

I upgrade from the last gen Chromecast and I noticed that the new one will play the app you're streaming in the Chromecast dashboard. How do I make it fill the screen without the using the remote to expand that app when I cast something?

[@dapperAaron]

Does anyone know if you can use the Chromecast remote as a substitute remote for general tv functions?

[@misfit1978]

Can you get Freeview (UK) on this and a proper TV guide with Freeview and sky channels?

[@kloony6680]

Thanks!

[@fionarutter8361]

Thanks gunna do some of those

[@rexpayne7836]

Another excellent tips video. 🇦🇺 😊

[@rickzabala6020]

Two years I wonder if still there. Guess I have older Chromecast no remote. Probably had three years or longer but just plugged it in. I have the NFL app but learned the caster does not work with the NFL app. Do you know any work arounds. I have Rokus which I recently learned does casting?

[@sincman]

I'm going to "go ahead" and like this video.

[@PauloEduardoLobao]

Amazing,. Hugs from Brazil. Tks for tips. Recommend app for launch on boot ok Bye

[@matthewwilliams9590]

I do love this Chromecast, but I am unable to control my TV or any other device with the Chromecast remote. My TV is a Element which I got on Black Friday a couple years ago. It's not a huge deal, but was a main reason I went with the Chromecast over other devices.

[@Or3guns]

You have to set it up when you first get your chromecast and you turn it on for the first time. You have the option to skip that part which is probably what you did. I'm sure if you just look around on the settings menu you can still set it up

[@dapperAaron]

Installed only apps is great to clean all the clutter in the screen, but a big drawback is that it disables the voice searching

[@jarekcylka7496]

hello, does chromcast 4.0 play from an external drive 4k 60 fps / h 264 and 4k 60fps / h265

[@futbol1972]

Is there a way I can press input button and select the input to go back to watch regular tv and press select instead of keep clicking the litlle arrow button which keeps going to the right then once it gets back to desired input once again it will then take me back to regular tv

[@skylimitr3270]

Wow thanks really useful!

[@mikedonnit972]

What are some systems app we can delete to get space ?

[@Wreld]

So can you stream your oculus on it ?

[@toner37]

so I recently got one for myself and it's pretty fast with just my wi-fi signal alone. I went to add my Yamaha receiver to the remote. Followed the instructions and it turned off my receiver. I waited 8+ seconds then pressed the power button and wouldn't turn it back on. I went through all 8 attempts but it wouldn't after that. But one attempt and it for some reason selected sleep mode on my receiver. So how on the first try it turned off but won't turn back on? I even removed the device and still won't control it. But following your steps on the remote CEC thing. I see where I should have one option turned on and now the remote controls the volume. I think they got rid of the apps only mode. As I don't see it now.

[@MrEdelucas]

Any setting to turn off the chromecast and the tv at the same time? Thanks

[@wenderson8164]

Great video! Apart from KZbin, whenever I want to cast anything from phone the option to cast to chromecast doesn't show up :(. Any ideas?

[@CoupeLouver]

Is your phone and the chromecast on the same wifi network??

[@CoupeLouver]

You could also open the Google home app to connect to it thru there.

[@wenderson8164]

@@CoupeLouver Yes. It is.

[@wenderson8164]

@@CoupeLouver By mirroring you mean?! Good thing about casting straight from the apps is that you don't have to go through so many steps to mirror before going to the app and playing the video. It used to work just fine with the old Chromecast :(

Hello everyone, Did you try to connect bluetooth mouse to Chromecast. I tried to do it witch two different mice (Microsoft designer and Lenovo MX laser) witch no luck. Chromecast is able to find mouse, displays "Pairing" and " Connecting". Mouse cursor shows for a while (you can move it). But after a few seconds cursor vanishes and Chromecast displays an information that it was unable to connect.

[@rajarajput3483]

you just change the display settings once in the chromecast settings. change it to 1080p 24hz

[@Teja]

I know that. But when browsing apps and UI 24Hz is horrible and slow. So i want a match frame rate option like Apple TV. So i can browse at 60hz at default

[@rajarajput3483]

@@Teja movies are recorded at 24hz, so it practically cannot play it at 60hz. It will still be 24hz

[@Teja]

Thats not true. 24hz in a 60hz app like netflix will be played using 3:2 pulldown. Whereas matching framerate option will play 24hz content in 24fps as well without pulldown.
