Convenient usage of "Google Cast" that allows you to play videos and music watching on your smartphone on TV and speakers

When you watch videos on your smartphone or play music, you've ever wanted to see it on a bigger screen or want to play music from a speaker?

In such a case, the function called "Google Cast" is useful.Let's introduce the details and usage of the function immediately.

You can play the content played on your smartphone on TV and speakers!?

As introduced earlier, Google Cast refers to a function that can output content such as videos and music that are regenerating on smartphones from the corresponding TV and speakers.

Although it is a Google service, this function is actually available on iPhone and Windows PC.The device does not have any restrictions on use, and the service changes whether it is compatible.

The first is to play videos and music played on your smartphone from TVs and speakers that support Google Cast.

This time, let's play the music played with the iPhone's "YouTube Music" app from "Google Nest Audio".

When you open the YouTube Music app on the iPhone, you will see three icons on the upper right.Tap this because the leftmost square mark is the "cast" button.

It searches for devices that can play the iPhone.If you wait a little, you will see a list of devices that can be used, so select your favorite device from here.This time, select the "living room".

The cast button turns red and plays a sound that informs you that you connected from Google Nest Audio.You can enjoy music from the speakers just by choosing your favorite music.

By the way, in the case of video content, it seems that the Bluetooth speaker is not detected even if the cast button is pressed, or the video may not be played and the voice may be played only.

This time, I used YouTube Music, but this function can be used for apps such as "Apple Music", "Spotify" and "Amazon Music".Please note that the position of the cast button varies depending on the application.

Actually, it can be used from Windows PC if it is a terminal that supports Google Cast function.However, when I tried it, it seems that this function is only for Chrome browser.

Let's connect a PC with Windows 10 and Google Nest Audio.This time, the sound of YouTube played on the browser is played from the speaker.

Play the video on YouTube and combine the cursor on the video to see some icons at the bottom.Click on a mark (cast button) where the radio waves fly from the lower left of the square mark will display a list of devices that can regenerate audio. Click the living room this time.

With this alone, you can play the sound of the video played on YouTube on the Chrome browser from the speaker.

What is "Chromecast" that allows you to use Google Cast on the TV you are using!

The Google Cast function is a function that can be used on TV that is compatible as introduced.However, many people will not support the cast function now.

For such people, we recommend a product called "Chromecast".Just connect this product to a TV to support the cast function from your smartphone.

If you use Chromecast at the same time as Google AI speakers, you can perform operations such as adjusting the volume and rewinding by voice only.
