Chromecast is a line of digital media players developed by Google. The devices, designed as small dongles, enable users with a mobile device or personal computer to initiate and control playback of Internet- streamed audio-visual content on a high-definition television or home audio system through mobile and web apps that support the Google Cast technology. The first Chromecast, released in 2013, sold out in 24 hours in the US.
Chromecast devices are available for purchase in more than 20 countries.[1] According to Google, over 20 million Chromecast devices had been sold by May 2015.
To use Chromecast, users need to have a device with the Google Cast app installed and a TV or display with an HDMI port. Users can then cast content from supported apps to their TV or display.
The Google Cast app is available on Android and iOS devices, and on Chrome for desktop.
Some apps, such as BBC iPlayer and All 4, have built-in support for Chromecast. For other apps, users can “cast” by selecting the Chromecast device from within the app. Once selected, the app will send the video or audio to the Chromecast device which will then play it on the TV or display.
Users can also cast content from the Chrome browser on a desktop or laptop by selecting the “cast” icon in the Chrome toolbar and selecting their Chromecast device.
Content that can be cast includes online video, music, photos and games. Supported apps include Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, HBO GO, Google Play Movies & TV and Google Photos.
Chromecast devices connect to the Internet using a Wi-Fi connection. The first-generation Chromecast and Chromecast Ultra use a Marvell Armada 1500-mini 88DE3005 system on a chip (SoC), while the second-generation Chromecast and Chromecast Audio use Amlogic S905 SoCs.
The first-generation Chromecast was released on July 24, 2013. The second-generation Chromecast and Chromecast Audio were released on September 29, 2015. The third-generation Chromecast was released on October 4, 2018.
The original Chromecast was created as an electronics hobby project by then-Google employees Steve Supply and Jamal Eason. The device was designed to be an easy and affordable way for consumers to enjoy online content on their TVs.
