Of course, with the Google TV variant, you can use the remote, but you also don't need to. Importantly, there's no user interface and no remote required - all the control comes from your phone or computer. To manage your Chromecast, use the Google Home app or Google Cast browser extension. You can also cast entire sites or tabs from the Chrome browser on Windows computers, Macs and Chromebooks. With Chromecast, you can cast movies, TV shows, and photos from Cast-enabled apps on Android smartphones and tablets, iPhones and iPads. For Chromecast Ultra or Chromecast with Google TV, it has to be a wall socket, or there isn't enough power for it to work. On Chromecast, this could be a USB socket on the back of your TV. In order for Chromecast to work, you need to plug it into an HDMI input on a TV/display, as well as connect it to a power supply. ![]() ![]() This is the case if you're casting your Android device screen, a tab from Chrome, or your Chromebook desktop. However, if you're mirroring your phone on the TV, or viewing a website, then you're sending that directly from your phone or computer to the Chromecast and both need to stay connected. That means that if you connect a Chromecast Ultra to a 4K TV, for example, it will play 4K content that you can't view on your phone. Chromecast then uses its own connection to retrieve that stream in the best quality it can. In the vast majority of cases, all you're doing is using your phone to tell the Chromecast device what content to play by pointing it at the source. The important thing to realise about casting is that it isn't about sending the content from your phone to the Chromecast.
