So far here's what I've done:
- Plugged chromecast into TV HDMI port, and connected power to chromecast from power point.
- Downloaded Google Home app onto my Samsung tablet.
- Tablet is connected to home wifi.
- Tablet has location turned on (from what chromecast setup tells me this is required).
- Connected Chromecast to my home wifi.
But I can't figure out how to cast anything from my tablet to the TV via chromecast, or use the tablet as the controller.
Got no actual idea what to do or how this works.
Can someone help me please? I'm generally OK working through computer issues (hell I've spent heaps of time teaching myself to update drivers, etc, which may be simple but for me is an achievement!), but can't figure out this chromecast contraption.
Any help greatly appreciated!
