The device plays audio and video content on a high-definition display directly streaming via Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Users select the media to play through Chromecast enabled mobile apps and web apps. Content can be mirrored from the Google Chrome web browser running on a personal computer, as well as from the screen of some Android devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Measuring 2.83 inches (72 mm), Chromecast plugs into the HDMI port of a high-definition television or monitor. Power is supplied by connecting the device\u2019s micro-USB port to an external power supply or a USB port. The device connects to Wi-Fi through the user\u2019s home network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chromecast allows you to stream content to a television. Playback is initiated through the \u201ccast\u201d button on the controlling device. If the television\u2019s HDMI port supports the Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) feature, pressing the cast button will also result in Chromecast automatically switching the television\u2019s active audio\/video input using the CEC command \u201cOne Touch Playback\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">When no content is being streamed, Chromecast displays a user-personalized content feed. It can include featured and personal photos, artwork, weather, satellite images, news and weather forecasts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Google Cast software development kit (SDK), gives developers a way of handling \u201csecond-screen interactions\u201d and making their apps Chromecast enabled. It was released as a preview version on July 24, 2013. Google opened the SDK to all developers on February 3, 2014.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Google lists the Chromecast operating system updates on the <em>Chrome Releases<\/em> blog. As with all Chrome OS devices, Chromecast operating system updates are downloaded automatically without notification. In the device\u2019s first year of sale, \u201cmillions\u201d of units were sold and over 400 million casts were made.<\/p>\n<p>\u00adSee also:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/apple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple Encyclopedia<\/a>: all information about products, electronic devices, operating systems and apps.<\/li>\n<li>iGotOffer.com: the best place to <a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sell used Apple device<\/a> online.
