How to Set up Google Chromecast 2019

[Music] hello and welcome to awkward bomb reviews and how to's on today's video we'll be talking about the Google chromecast this is the third generation Google chromecast and we're going to show you how to set it up now already do have a video for Google chromecast set up from the second generation you can find that video right up here or down in the description but I'm go ahead and go through the setup process of the third generation Google chromecast let's get started alright before we get into the setup these are some of the things that you can cast directly from your device to the Google chromecast you don't have to have a smart TV to be able to use this this actually converts your TV that maybe isn't sparked into a smart TV if you already have a smart TV you can still use this if you want to be able to cast things directly to the TV if your TV doesn't maybe provide that option as some don't but all kinds of different options things that you can do on your chromecast now let's get started you can see it's a little bit different design if you've had a previous version of the chromecast a little bit smoother a little nicer design they took away that the old magnet style setup but we're going to go ahead and go through the process of setting up let's see at what else is in the box here alright of course you have your power brick I personally do not use this now this is this is a preference thing let's see if I can get that out this is a preference thing I don't personally use the power brick when I plug the USB cable in I'll plug it directly into the back of the TV where there is a USB slot but you can use this power brick and just plug it directly into the wall all right this should be the USB cable [Applause] and it is all right so first things first you can go through the instructions if you if you would prefer but I'm gonna take you through basically the entire setup first things first is you're going to find the place to plug in the USB directly to the chromecast like so and it should snap should be very secure the next thing you're going to do is you're going to take this HDMI cable it's connected to the chromecast and plug it directly into an HDMI Smuts slot on your TV so let's go ahead and do that alright so now we're going through the setup process as you can see we have this power plugged into the chromecast I'm going to take the HDMI cable you see we have a free HDMI slot here so I'm just going to plug that right in and then we take the other side and as you can see right here if you can read it there is a spot that says USB you can take the power side of that and plug it right in like I said you can also plug it into the back of your power brick and plug that right into an outlet and I like to save those outlets or something else so I'm going to use the option of just plugging it right into the back of the TV set like so so you have your chromecast the dongle plugged right into HDMI and the power portion plugged into the USB port on the back here TV so let's turn it on alright when you first draw on TV and you put it on the correct input you're going to give this message to get the app and that'll be the Google home app from the Play Store you can get that both on your Android device or on the on your iOS device it's the Google home app so when you pull it up when you first pull it up if it doesn't immediately pop up it should pop up and say set up this device on the Google home app if it does not what you'll need to do is press this option down in the bottom right it's the profile option and then what you'll need to press is setup or ad right at the top so I'm going to click that and then it's going to give you different options here we're going to set up device all right so it's asking you to set up all right so it's asking you what you want to set up set up new devices in your home you'll go ahead and click that option if you have a home set up you go ahead and choose that option I do and then you'll hit next and it's looking for new devices and it should pop up with the chromecast that we have up on our TV and let's see if it does yep chromecast 2015 if you'll see in the bottom of your TV right there chromecast 2015 that shows you that you have the right device so you go ahead and click on it and then you'll click Next and it's now connecting to the chromecast now at some point during the set up it will ask you to connect to Wi-Fi all right here's the next setup step it's asking you to verify that this code right here is also found on the Google home a p-- see if it pops up here yep w8 r2w ar2 so it is good to go so we'll click yes and it'll ask you if you want to send feedback I will not be and then if you have room setup at that point it'll ask you where is this located you can set up a new room here where it says create new wherever you have it we're gonna put it in the attic and then hit next at the button and we're going to leave it call attic to just because that's what it named it you can call it anything upstairs tv downstairs TV bedroom TV Gerry's TV whatever you want to call it we're just going to leave it named attic to just for this setup I'm gonna hit continue and it's going to ask for you to connect to Wi-Fi so I've got my Wi-Fi there all right now it's going to connect to Wi-Fi and it's going to then connect the chromecast itself to Wi-Fi and one of the first things your chromecast will probably do is go out to the internet and fetch an update they'll pull down any new firmware or any any new updates that needs to be on your chromecast this won't take long as you can see in the bottom right now it says I think 2 TB like I said if we'd named that anything else bedroom TV fred's TV whatever that's what would pop up there it was named attic - all right so we've now reached 100% on the update and it's restarting the device the first time through it's going to make sure that all the updates are installed ok so once it's restarted it'll go through the install process and it's going to reset one more time and then it will be just about ready for use every time you turn on your TV to that input this is what's gonna pop up it's gonna say chromecast just like that what's cool too is that you can use this as kind of like a screen saver if you want to cast your own images to it you can if you want to set up a certain folder from from your Google images to just rotate like a screensaver you can do that as well all right so it's directing us to go back to the Google home app and then it's asking to link the chromecast you hit next ok and any services that you currently use on your device it'll ask if you want to add those we only really use Netflix and YouTube but so we'll click Next and we're all done it says hit continue and it's telling us now that our attic 2 TV is ready to cast that we'll hit continue so let's pull up YouTube and this is just showing us how to cast for the first time so anytime you're watching a YouTube video or Netflix this option pops up you will click it it'll ask you where you want to cast it we're going to cast it to attic to TV cast icon appears and there you go it is now playing your YouTube video right on your screen now you can also use your tablet to control tablet or device to control the volume so I'm just going to press down on the volume here and it's actually doing it on the TV you can also pause your video right from your device I'm going to hit pause on the tablet and it stops it exactly where you hit pause then I'm gonna hit play again and it's going to resume the video anytime you're ready to stop you hit you hit the cast button right at the top of your screen and you hit stop casting alright so even once you're done casting or while you're casting rather you can do other things on your device it doesn't stop you from continuing to use your device alright this concludes the setup video for the third generation google chromecast thanks
