Yes, Google Chromecast can work in hotels, but it depends on the hotel's Wi-Fi setup. Many hotels have their own restricted networks that may not allow devices like Chromecast to connect. To use Chromecast in a hotel, you'll typically need to connect it to the hotel's Wi-Fi network, which may require additional steps like logging in through a captive portal. If you have a mobile hotspot, that can also be a workaround to use Chromecast without connecting to the hotel’s Wi-Fi.
Yes, Chromecast does support Google Chrome. You can "cast" from Chrome on any desktop/laptop, regardless of platform.
Yes, your PC can stream almost any video playable in Google's Chrome browser to the Chromecast. Also, just search for "Chromecast" on the App Store, and you'll find the app to setup the Chromecast via your iPhone. You can then stream video and audio from YouTube, Netflix, Google Play Movies, Google Play Music, Hulu Plus, HBOGO, Pandora and many more apps from the iPhone.
No, Chromecast will not work directly on an Amazon Fire 7 tablet because Fire tablets run on a modified version of Android that does not support Google services natively. However, you can use third-party apps that allow casting from the Fire tablet to a Chromecast device, but the experience may not be as seamless as on other devices. Additionally, you may need to sideload certain applications to enable casting functionality.
You can buy Chromecast from brick-and-mortar retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and others. You can also buy it on online retailers like Amazon. In addition, you can buy it directly from Google Play.
As the name implies, the Google Chromecast dongle allows you to "cast" content from your mobile device to the TV. You can cast anything from streaming services (ie: YouTube, Netflix, etc.), video, music, images, pages (from Chrome) and so on.
No. Google Chromecast does not support the use of Skype it only supports Chrome browser tabs and cast-enabled services.
To get a Chromecast app for your iPad running iOS 5.1.1, you can search the App Store for compatible apps that support Chromecast, such as Google Home or streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, or Spotify. However, since iOS 5.1.1 is an older version, not all apps may be available or compatible. If you can't find a suitable app, consider updating your iPad to a more recent iOS version for better compatibility with Chromecast.
You can use the Kindle Fire HDX 7 with Chromecast if you get the Avia app (the paid version, not the free ad-supported version). The app will let you stream content to any devices that use the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) standard, which also includes the Chromecast.
Roku streaming Stick and Google Chromecast are two very different streamers. Roku is a fully functional media hub that can access streaming media services by itself with the included remote. It has its own on-screen menu and can stream channels on its own, placing direct user control at the forefront and leaving mobile device control as a supporting feature. The Chromecast is more of a smartphone and tablet accessory, and requires one to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network to work. It focuses on letting users send whatever they're watching on their mobile devices to the Chromecast without any direct control over the Chromecast itself. However, it's limited to only supported apps and services, and currently that means a very limited selection of content like Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Pandora, and HBO GO. Google has released the Chromecast SDK and opened it up to development, but currently Roku's ecosystem is much more powerful from a consumer standpoint, if less hackable. You can do more with less effort on the Roku than on the Chromecast, and that makes it well worth the extra $15 on the price tag.
It appears you can "cast" the WWE Network if you are on the Chrome browser on a desktop or laptop with the Chromecast. However, the WWE Network app does not have Chromecast capability as of yet.
As of this writing, no. It is compatible for Android and iOS devices, Mac, Windows, and Chromebook computers, but not Windows mobile.
Yes. Look into a long HDMI cable that goes from your computer to your HDTV if you want to view your computer screen on your TV.
