Mission USB Power Cable for Chromecast with Google TV (Power Chromecast Directly from Your TV)

Product Information

Google TV users can also choose to connect the Chromecast with Google TV device directly to a router to create a faster and more reliable connection in Wi-Fi dead zones. Google offers ethernet adapters for both Chromecast with Google TV and the regular Chromecast via the Google Store. Many smart TVs can already wirelessly connect to your phone to cast content, so although Chromecast works with them, it wasn’t designed to be used with them. Look out for any additional features or accessories that may enhance your streaming experience, such as voice control or gaming support.

Although converters can just hang from your TV’s ports, the cables could be damaged from the constant strain and you risk them slipping out of the ports. Once your Chromecast is on-screen, you’re ready to proceed to the next step. Step 4: Connect Both Devices to the Same NetworkIf you’d like to plug your Chromecast or Chromecast Ultra into your TV’s USB port, we recommend using the Mission USB Power Cable for Chromecast and Chromecast Ultra . Find your TV’s HDMI port and plug the Chromecast’s HDMI cable into it. Now is also a good time to take note of which HDMI port you’re plugging it into (e.g. HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc). Use your TV remote to change your TV’s input. Because you’re using an RCA adapter, you will need to change it to RCA or Component (depending on your TV’s make and model), instead of HDMI. Plug the other end of the cable into an open outlet. You can also connect your Chromecast Ultra to an Ethernet network through the power supply port. Many smart TVs also natively support casting and screen mirroring, with a few Hisense, Samsung, and LG TVs even having built-in Chromecast.

So, if you can’t connect your TV to the internet and can only mirror your device’s screen with a wired connection, then your TV isn’t smart. A: Yes, you can use multiple Chromecast dongles in different rooms as long as each dongle is connected to a separate TV and they are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You can control each Chromecast individually through your device. While it's not necessary to use the USB power cable and power adapter included in the box with the standard Chromecast device, it is suggested you use those for optimal performance. That being said, it is necessary to use the provided cables with Chromecast Ultra, which won't work with any other USB cable, or any USB cable plugged into a TV. Here are the slightly different steps for setting up Chromecast Ultra. Once you’ve followed all of the instructions in Google Home and been notified that your Chromecast is connected to your device, it’s time to get casting! So, if possible, place your converter and Chromecast on a nearby table or shelf so they’re not tugging on the cables. Step 3: Connect the Chromecast and Converter to Power

Decide whether you prefer controlling your Chromecast using a physical remote or through an app on your device. Consider additional connectivity options like Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth to enhance streaming performance.

You may also connect both devices to another phone’s hotspot. You cannot use the same phone, tablet, or laptop you’re casting from.Your TV will display a code on-screen that should match the code on your phone, notifying you that you’re connected to the right Chromecast. Step 5: Cast Videos to Your TV There are also some exceptions when connecting Chromecast with Google TV. Specifically, Chromecast with Google TV cannot be connected using a standard TV USB port because it uses too much power and will generate an error message. As such, you'll need to free up another outlet behind your entertainment center.
