Chromecast, now with guest mode
Thursday, December 11, 2014
You’re having friends over and before you know it, a battle has ensued in your living room over who can show the funniest YouTube video. Now, it’s even easier for your friends to cast to your TV without first having to connect to your WiFi. With the new guest mode feature, anyone with an Android device can cast to your TV as long as they’re in the same room.
To set up guest mode for your Chromecast, open the Chromecast app on your Android phone or tablet and select “Devices” from the navigation drawer. Choose your Chromecast device, tap the “Guest mode” setting and then turn the slider to “on.”
See it in action:
This update is rolling out starting today. Just make sure your
Chromecast app
is up to date on your Android phone or tablet. To learn more about this feature, visit
