However, Chromecast App is no longer available for download on Computers and currently the only way to Setup Chromecast Device is by downloading Google Home App on a Mobile Device.

Once the Setup process is completed, your Mobile Phone and the Home App is no longer required to project media from MacBook to TV using Chromecast.

With this understanding let us go ahead and take a look at the steps to use Chromecast on MacBook.

1. Attach Chromecast Device to TV

• However, Chromecast App is no longer available for download on Computers and currently the only way to Setup Chromecast Device is by downloading Google Home App on a Mobile Device. Once the Setup process is completed, your Mobile Phone and the Home App is no longer required to project media from MacBook to TV using Chromecast.
• The easiest way to extend your desktop on both Windows and Mac is to use Chrome’s built-in Chromecast service. Since Google has built both the Cast protocol and the world’s most popular browser, it’s simple to just combine the two to make a wirelessly-extended display.

I got it to work on a macbook air!! I got really p$%&ed when I saw this post, not at you but at not being able to use this with our tablet and laptop, as we predominantly use a MacBook Air. I felt I wasted my money again, I purchased one of these when they first came out and had so many issues connecting I returned it.

The first step is to attach Chromecast Device to your Home Television.

1. Plug in the HDMI End of Google Chromecast Device into the HDMI Port of your Home TV and Plug the USB End of Chromecast to USB Power Adapter (See image below).

2. Next, use the Remote Control of your Home Television to change the Source Input of your TV to match the HDMI Port (HDMI 1, HDMI2….) into which the Chromecast device is plugged-in.

Note: On most Remote Controls you can change the Input Source by pressing Input or Source button.

Press the designated button on the Remote Control and make sure the Television display changes to the selected HDMI Port.

The next step is to setup the Chromecast Device by using Google Home App on your Mobile Phone or Tablet.

2. Once the Home App is downloaded, open Home App and tap on Accept to agree to Terms and Conditions.

3. On the Home Screen, tap on Set up 1 device option.

8. Next, select a Location for your Chromecast Device and tap on Next.

9. On the next screen, select your WiFi Network and tap on Next.
