Google changed up its streaming platform with the release of the Chromecast with Google TV. Instead of being a Cast-only device like Chromecasts before it, Google\u2019s latest dongle runs the successor of Android TV. If you purchased one, here\u2019s how to set up your\u00a0Chromecast with Google TV.<\/p>\n

After unboxing your device and all of its accessories, it\u2019s time to set up your Chromecast with Google TV. First, plug the included power adaptor into an outlet. Next, connect the USB-A to C cable to the power brick and your Chromecast. A status light will app<\/a>ear on the back of the dongle.<\/p>\n

\"Chromecast

Locate a free HDMI port on the back of your television and plug your Chromecast with Google TV in.<\/p>\n

If your TV doesn\u2019t automatically turn on, grab your device\u2019s remote, turn on the screen, and change the source to whichever HDMI port you plugged the Chromecast in to.<\/p>\n

Pick up the Chromecast with Google TV\u2019s remote and slide off the back cover. Insert the included AAA batteries and reattach the cover. The remote should automatically start pairing with your streaming device.<\/p>\n

\"Put

One of Google TV\u2019s strengths is its recommendation engine. But before Google can suggest movies and TV shows that you might like, you need to share which services you\u2019re subscribed to.

\"Select<\/p>\n

The Google TV interface is slightly different if you\u2019re coming from an Android TV set-top box or television. Each service you indicated having access to during the setup process will have its app installed on your Chromecast. Ensure that you\u2019re signed in to each streaming service so you can start watching recommended movies and TV shows whenever something new appears.<\/p>\n

Something to keep in mind while getting familiar with your new Chromecast is that the software running on the streaming device is called Google TV, which is also the rebranded name of Play Movies & TV. Don\u2019t get confused between the two when looking for something to watch.<\/p>\n
