Google Chromecast (3rd Generation) Media Streamer - Black

I used this for teaching and it works well but it’s not a perfect product. There are limitations for sure. It goes in and out or takes a while to connect. I ended up using for about two years and was obsessed with it. I ended up going back to hardwire. It’s just faster and more reliable. Still, this is worth it for the money. I would consider using it in my home instead of school.

Use this to watch a video stream from a smartphone, laptop or tablet on a smart TV. (Note that this version of the Chromecast only supports 1080p resolution. If your TV is better than that, get the latest version.) Plugs into your TV's HDMI port and can be charged from the TV itself if the TV has a charging USB port. By selecting that HDMI port for the TV's source, you can watch whatever you are sending to the chromecast device from your iphone etc. All the streaming apps will display a "cast" button that you can use to send them to the Chromecast. It doesn't work well (if at all) from video players in browsers, but does work with various apps on an iphone like YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. My instructions were all in Japanese, but it was simple enough to figure out how to use it without being able to read them.

This Google Chromecast third generation is always a win! We have one on each television in our home. They are super easy to set up and the connection into the back of the television is secure. I say this because when I dust the back of the television, the Google Chromecast has never fallen out. This is a win!

I ordered this to update to the latest version and because my smart tv doesn't have Chromecast built in. The box it came in looked like it came off the shelf. Brand new condition. You can see its from Japan. Not problem as the instructions are easy to understand. If your new to Chromecast the best way to install the app on your tv after you hook it up to your hdmi port and usb power is to install it through you google home app. Make sure your tv is on the right hdmi input that you hooked up to, Once inside the app all you have to do is let the app find your Chromecast, when it's found just fallow the on screen prompts until setup is finished. That's it. Just remember when you want to use Chromecast you have to switch to the hdmi it is setup on. It works flawlessly. Hope this helps. Enjoy.

Restarts multiple times daily for "updates" or just randomly drops the connection to your phone or internet. Update: It's going in the trash. Each streaming service has their own glitches when linked to the chrome cast. Sometimes you can pause a show with either the streaming service app, the apps notification bar or the chromecast bar, but usually not the first one you try. In order to rewind a program you have to disconnect from the TV, then rewind on your phone, wait for playback to resume and then reconnect to your TV or else you will wind up with a Neverending loading bar that requires a power reset of the chrome cast. I give up, I'm gonna try roku.

The product is working as intended. It was inconvenient that it came in a box and instructions with only Japanese writing. I was able to use the google translate app to translate the instructions. Once my google home app picked up on the device, it switched to English on the TV.

This product has, hands-down, the most seamless and effortless setup I've ever experienced, despite the packaged instructions being entirely in an Asian language. There are English instructions online, and you don't even need instructions if you're using the Google Home app. When I opened my Google Home app, it immediately found the device without any user input from myself and I was able to set it up within minutes. The streaming quality is quite good by my standards and I haven't noticed any significant buffering or image quality issues yet. The only complaint I have is that it does take a decent bit of time (20-60 seconds) to actually start streaming once you cast to the device. Likewise, any updates you make (pressing pause/play, rewind/fastforward, etc.) seem to take a little bit of time to take effect as well.

I am in South Korea and I thought shipping would take a long time but it came in about 2 weeks before the estimated delivery date. Plugged it in my tv and set it up in minutes and it works like a charm. Now I can cast all my streaming apps and see them in English. I had a little issue with Korean customs but got that worked out. No delay in delivery. I am totally satisfied with the order and shipping time!!!

This is Made in USA product and sincerely i was amazed that i received a USA product. Good quality. Works very well where i can cast YouTube from my mobile to my LED Tv. The plug of the adapter is US style. So please buy a travel adapter or plug as per UAE requirement else you cannot power onnthe product.

Good quality. Reliable
