If you're using a mobile device or tablet, download and install the Google Home app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. If you're using a computer, install the Google Chrome browser.

In the Google Home app, follow the prompts to set up your Chromecast. If you're using a computer, you can find Chromecast settings in the Chrome browser's menu.。
