Once you have the Chromecast app and the Chromecast browser extension installed, you can easily connect your Macbook to your TV through Chromecast and start streaming. Once downloaded, the app will find the Chromecast device on your network and show you a blue Set Up button, clock it to proceed with the set up process and follow the prompts. If you’re using your MacBook or a PC computer, open Google Chrome and go to the Chromecast setup page, there you will be asked to either download the Chromecast app or to add a special browser extension to Chrome. If you’re going to use an iOS device to set it up, go ahead and download the Chromecast app to your iOS device. Once the device is connected to your TV, it should boot up and you should see a Google Chrome logo. To set up Chromecast you first need to plug it in to the HDMI port of your TV and also connect it to the USB port of your TV or use a micro USB to USB adapter to plug it in.
