5 Things You Didn’t Know You about Chromecast

1. VR MIRROR
   Watching someone experience virtual reality is amusing...for a few minutes. When you can also see what the person wearing the goggles sees, though, it's better for everyone. With Google's $79 Daydream View headset and a Chromecast, you can send what's on the headset to a television.
   
   Just make sure the phone you have in the Daydream and the Chromecast are on the same Wi-Fi network and that you have the Google Home app (Android, iOS) installed. Open Google Home, select Cast, and then choose the Chromecast device to which you want to send the VR images. Put the phone into the headset and everyone can see what you're up to, virtually.

If you have a Gear VR, you can do the same thing. Make sure you have the latest version of the Oculus app and get your Gear going, hit the Cast button, and then select the device you want to view your VR journey on.

2.ETHERNET ADAPTER
The Chromecast is a handy gadget for streaming Netflix, YouTube, and other content from mobile devices to your TV, but it requires a strong Wi-Fi connection to deliver streams that don't buffer. Not everyone has a super-fast Wi-Fi network, though, and for those people, Google has an Ethernet adapter for Chromecast. The adapter looks like the existing Chromecast power cord, but the plug end now includes a small Ethernet port. Connect an Ethernet cable that's also connected to your modem to that port, plug the USB end of the adapter into the Chromecast, attach the Chromecast to the HDMI port on your TV, and you're ready to go. It's $15 in the Google Play store.

3.Use It Like CHROMECAST AUDIO
OK, this is a bit fallacious; you can’t plug your traditional Chromecast into a Hi-Fi and expect it to function like Chromecast Audio.
However, if you have a home cinema system you can get similar results. The key is having a modern AV (audio/video) receiver, an amplifier, or powered speakers with an optical input connected to your television set.

4 HOST A PARTY

So, you’re having a party. You don’t want to share your Wi-Fi password with all of the guests, but you want everyone to enjoy themselves by letting them choose the music.
What do you do? Easy – just enable Guest Mode on your device!
Guest Mode works by letting the dongle emit a special beacon to nearby users. The Cast icon will then be automatically displayed on your visitors’ devices – all they need to do is connect. It should work automatically, but if it fails for some reason, they can also use a 4-digit PIN code.

The feature can be enabled through the Settings menu in the smartphone app.

5 FREE OFFERS
Everyone loves free stuff – especially when the free stuff in question is really, really cool.

Google often provides great giveaways to Chromecast owners, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re a seasoned owner or a complete and utter n00b.

For example, at the time of writing you can either get a two-month free trial of Spotify, or a 90-day free trial of Google Play Music. That’s five months of music streaming without you having to spend a cent.
