Google - Chromecast - Black
Google Chromecast: Easily stream your favorite apps and media to your TV via Wi-Fi with Chromecast. Use the included USB cable to plug the Chromecast into your TV, and control streaming content using your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.
Works well, easy setup and operation
Customer Rating
5.0
Was looking for an alternative to an HDMI cable strung across the room. I am very happy with this!
You need -
- An available HDMI input on your TV - this is where you plug in the Chromecast device
- An AC outlet (wall plug, power strip) to power the Chromecast device
- WiFi - a simple home router is fine. No networking required.
- Smartphone, tablet, laptop, Chromebook, or PC (don't know about Mac)
Setup is dead easy - plug the Chromecast into any open HDMI port on the TV. You do not need a Smart TV - the Chromecast takes care of the WiFi. Go through the setup protocol which runs automatically. It's that simple.
You can use any of the apps for services listed above which natively support Chromecast. You can also send anything from Chrome browser using the Google Cast extension. Even though they say it's still beta, it has worked without a glitch for me.
I use it successfully with various devices running Android, Chrome OS and Windows 8.1. Should work with anything that will run Chrome browser with the extension. Works great with Chromebook (no surprise) since everything in Chrome OS is browser-based.
Some have noted that it doesn't have a separate remote. Well, the device you are casting from (phone, tablet, whatever) is the remote. You simply use whatever controls the service or webpage has for the media you are casting.
Couldn't be a lot simpler, works very well. Highly recommend.

Can you post and view your twitter feed on the chrome cast?
I don't know if Twitter natively supports Chromecast. However, if you can access Twitter from Chrome browser running on any device, it will work with the Google Cast browser extension. Just click the little Cast icon on the Chrome address bar.
