Setting up Google Chromecast on Your iPad, iPhone, or Android

Setting up your Chromecast device is simple, though it takes several steps.

How to Cast Content to Chromecast With Your iPad, iPhone, or Android

Turn on your mobile device and TV, making sure the latter is switched to the correct input.

Mirroring Your iPad or iPhone to the TV via Chromecast

On the surface, it is not possible to mirror an iPad or iPhone directly to the TV. However, it is possible to use AirPlay mirroring from a mobile device to a PC, then use Google’s Chrome desktop to mirror to the TV using a third-party app.​ The display on the iPad or iPhone should now be mirrored to the PC, Chromecast, and the TV. However, there will be a short time lag when you perform an action on your mobile device before it appears on the PC, and again on the TV. This will cause a problem when watching a video or listening to audio.
