What are the requirements for setting up Google Chromecast To broadcast audio or video wirelessly from your Mac to the big screen (TV), you will need a Google Chromecast, a Television or projector, Chrome web browser (free for Mac), a WiFi network, and of course a Mac computer.

Step 1: Getting started Before we get started, this is what is packaged in your Google Chromecast box: The Google Chromecast, USB Type-A to USB Micro-B cable (for charging), Chromecast HDMI dongle, HDMI short extension cable, and a power supply.

Before you can use the Chromecast app from Mac, the physical setup (manually connecting your Google Chromecast to your TV without the use of WiFi network) and the software setup (with the help of WiFi network) needs to be done.

Connecting your Chromecast Connect your Google Chromecast to the HDMI socket on the back of your TV.

Insert your USB Micro-B connector into your Google Chromecast dongle, and connect the USB Type-A connector into a spare USB port on the TV.

If your TV does not have a USB port Google has included a power cube to plug the power portion of the Chromecast into a nearby electrical outlet.

Hard to reach spaces Dont worry, use the short HDMI extender cable to extend the range of the Chromecast connection and gain more clearance in tight spaces.

Ensure your input source to the HDMI channel corresponds to the HDMI socket which the Google Chromecast is connected.

Many modern TVs will automatically switch inputs once they detected a new device connected.

Easy isnt it Now lets move on to the next step Step 2: Google Chromecast setup To successfully set up the Google Chromecast you need to connect to a WiFI network on your Mac, this needs to be the same WiFi network you want your Chromecast to connect to and use.

Remember that Chromecast requires a constant network connection to function properly and does not work properly offline.

Software Setup Open your Chrome web browser and go to, download the Chromecast DMG by clicking the blue Download button and install the Chromecast app for Mac.

Make sure to agree to the license terms (after reading them) and click the ACCEPT button.

After clicking the accept button the app will search for available Chromecast devices on your network.

NOTE: If you have an iOS or Android device available setup is much faster and easier with the Google Home app which is available via a free download in the App Store (or Play Store), we suggest this method when possible.

Is the search taking too long Make sure the Chromecast is connected to the same WiFi network as your Mac and is positioned within range of your router.

If your Mac is unable to find your Chromecast check your Wifi or switch your Macs WiFi network to 2.4 GHz mode instead of 5GHZ or mixed.

Next, configure the Chromecast by clicking the blue Set Up button.

Click the applicable setup button next to your detected Chromecast and select your country from the dropdown list.
