If you’re already a subscriber to some popular apps, you don’t even need to sign in to use them; simply launch them from the app on your phone and watch instantly. Along with paid, subscription-based apps, there are also 1000s of free applications to stream from. You can also project anything from your phone or tablet to your TV, such as images from your Google Photos account or Facebook, or share content from your Internet browser, and if you have a Google Home device, you can use voice controls to find the media and entertainment you want to play, making the Chromecast even easier to use, whether you’re searching for a specific photo, TV episode, or YouTube video.
