How to use Google Cast on a computer using the Chrome Browser

    NOTE：

    • To cast with a Google Chrome browser, make sure you are running the latest Chrome browser and have installed a Google Cast extension.
    • When casting a tab, it shows the Google tab, but there are system requirements to follow in order not to limit functions to projecting web pages, images and slide shows.
    • Casting a Google Cast-enabled web site is different from casting a tab using a Chrome browser.

    Follow these steps if you already have downloaded the Chrome browser on your computer.

    1. Open up the Chrome browser.

      NOTE: If you need to update Chrome, follow these steps to check for updates.

      1. Click the Menu Image, on the upper right corner of the Chrome browser.
      2. Click About Google Chrome, to check for updates and update if necessary.
