When I connected the Chromecast to my TV via USB power, an error message appeared, instructing me to connect to the wall adapter instead. You need to use the included power brick with the Chromecast.
#SLING APP FOR MAC CHROMECAST BLUETOOTH#
Setting up the remote, which has IR and Bluetooth for better control of your TV and any accessories like speakers, was quick and easy for my LG. While it was slow for my LG C7 OLED TV (there is no way to "select" the input directly, so I had to hover on the choice until the TV switched), it does work and should add value to those bouncing between the Chromecast and a cable box or game console. You can configure the input button to switch to other devices on your TV. (By default it goes to the regular service, though holding it down will allow you to set it to YouTube TV, YouTube Kids or YouTube Music, if you have those apps installed.) Volume buttons are on the right side of the device. Netflix gets a dedicated button, as does YouTube.
Below are two rows of buttons.Ī dedicated button for Google Assistant sits at the top of the right row - in a slightly different hue to distinguish it from the other buttons - as well as buttons for back, home, mute, power and switching your TV's input to and from the Chromecast. Google's clicker features a four-way directional pad in a circular shape at the top with a select key in the middle.
#SLING APP FOR MAC CHROMECAST PLUS#
Roughly the same thickness as the Roku Streaming Stick Plus remote, albeit a bit shorter in length, it felt comfortable in my hands and that thickness should make it less easy to lose than Apple's super thin Apple TV remote. The dongle itself tucks away behind your television, so its color doesn't matter.
The pink, and especially the white, have more identifiable Google Assistant buttons. While the Chromecast comes in three colors - snow white, sunrise pink and sky blue - I'd recommend going with either the white or pink models than the blue I used. The dongle plugs into your TV via HDMI, with power provided by an included USB-C cable and wall adapter (more on that later). The Chromecast with Google TV takes a lot of design cues from recent Chromecast models, just with more of an oval shape. Familiar dongle, choice of colors, new remote
