You can download and install the official Google Cast extension for Chrome via the Chrome Web Store here. While this isn’t completely necessary, if you want to watch the vast assortment of videos available only on the web (and not just those from specific applications that currently support Google Cast/Chromecast) - do it. Make sense? Okay, now that we got that out of the way, you’re going to need to download and install the Google Cast extension for Chrome in order to beam content from your Chrome web browser, to your newly purchased Chromecast. To be clear, the Chromecast is the product that Google is offerings, while Google Cast is the name of the service making it possible. So, our first step involved simply downloading and installing the official Google Chrome web browser for your laptop/desktop computer here. If you were hoping to beam your favorite videos from Hulu Plus, HBO Go, or music from services like Spotify, you’re going to need the Chrome web browser to make that happen. While Chromecast works on a variety of mobile devices (Android, iOS, etc.), there’s only a few apps that support them (YouTube and Netflix, with more on the way). Of course, to give the Chromecast some power, you’ll need to plug in the micro USB cable/adapter. If your HDMI port is in a tricky area, use the supplied HDMI extension that come inside the box. The easiest part in the whole process is physically inserting your Chromecast into your television. Before I give you guys a full hands-on, I thought it’d only be fitting to walk you through the entire setup process which, after about 10 minutes, will have you up and casting. Yesterday we unboxed it for you guys and today, we’ve been spending the better portion of our day playing with the tiny dongle (best, word, ever). Announced only yesterday, your friends here at Phandroid were lucky enough to get our hands on Google’s newly announced Chromecast.
