5 things you forget that you can do with the Google Chromecast


No doubt, Google has a gold mine with its
Chromecast streaming gadget. The price alone is
pretty incredible when you think about all the
joys and wonders it has to offer. For most
people, however, they only know of the
Chromecast as a dongle that permits them to
stream movies or television shows from Netflix
and Hulu. Beyond that, most folks forget that it
does a whole lot more – like giving your dumb TV
a few smarter functions.
We’ve talked about the Google Chromecast a lot
of late on our site, such as in our article
regarding how you can harness the power of your
mobile device to ditch cable television service .
This time around, though, we’re going to share
with you some cool tricks that you might forget
that the Chromecast is capable of doing. Much
like many other folks who quickly became
enamored by the Chromecast, we primarily found
it useful to use our smartphone to stream
content from our device to our television – such
as initially starting a YouTube video on our
smartphone, and then streaming it over to the
television.
Seriously, the $35 price tag attached to it is
almost unfathomable – more so when we really
think deeply into what it can actually do. Sure, it
still requires our mobile devices to work, but we
find it more functionally sound than some
streaming boxes. To that end, it really shows its
worth when pitted against some other traditional
streaming systems. From the dedicated ones like
the Roku, to video game consoles like the
Playstation 4, the Chromecast might seem faint
and insignificant against them, but when we
factor in its price and incredible features set,
you’ll be blown away at how fully capable it
really is in the long run.
