Chromecast / Google Cast - good for some tasks

Chromecast is quite different from Miracast.First of all, because it does not use Wi-Fi Direct, but requires that all devices be connected to the same Wi-Fi network through the router.

Secondly, fewer TVs support him as standard.Therefore, to display the image and sound, you need to connect the smartphone with the console (e.g..PS4 or NVIDIA SHIELD), or a special Chromecast / Google Cast receiver, connected to HDMI.

Third, Chromecast does not display everything that can be seen on the smartphone display.Usually used mainly to display multimedia from a specific application, such as.YouTube, Netflix, HBO GO, Plex, Eurosport Player, Google Play Movies etc..

Chromecast also has important advantages.Can display the movie after blocking the phone and act as a remote remote.It does not require logging in to the same Google account on all devices, but it is necessary to connect to the same Wi-Fi network.Thanks to this, the TV is detected automatically and in some applications the image and sound is immediately displayed.
