The process involves plugging your Chromecast into your TV's HDMI port and a power source, then installing the Google Home mobile app on your mobile device to begin the setup process, and following the app's setup instructions. It's important that your Chromecast and device or computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The Google Home app is the same app you use to control other Google hardware, like Nest Hub, and to set up smart home features to control via your phone.

You also need a compatible Android device or iOS device with the latest version of the app - called Google Home - installed, or you need a compatible Windows computer, Mac, or Chromebook with the latest version of the Chrome browser installed. For Chromecast Ultra or Chromecast with Google TV, it has to be a wall socket, or there isn't enough power for it to work. In order for Chromecast to work, you need to plug it into an HDMI input on a TV/display, as well as connect it to a power supply. This is the case if you're casting your Android device screen, a tab from Chrome, or your Chromebook desktop. However, if you're mirroring your phone on the TV, or viewing a website, then you're sending that directly from your phone or computer to the Chromecast and both need to stay connected. That means that if you connect a Chromecast Ultra to a 4K TV, for example, it will play 4K content that you can't view on your phone. Chromecast then uses its own connection to retrieve that stream in the best quality it can. In the vast majority of cases, all you're doing is using your phone to tell the Chromecast device what content to play by pointing it at the source. The important thing to realise about casting is that it isn't about sending the content from your phone to the Chromecast.
