So even after 3 years this is still the most useful video about this thing called "Chromecast with Google TV". I'm new to this world and I've been trying to find a simple 101 information about how it is different to that Chromecast thingy in grey or the old Chromecast USB stick, but every other content creator things people just know...
You're the first one who explained it in simple English and so now I can understand what it is and how to use it.
Thank you for that!

You deserve a medal or something for being the first youtuber I've watched that has muted it when he says "Hey Google" not activating all of my Google devices. Appreciate it so much.

You are the only tech reviewer that went through full details on this product! This has made me decide to buy it!

[teena]

Everyone loved you at Samsung but you are doing beyond that now and we are all so proud of you. Love the video!

I've been thinking about getting Chromecast for awhile. This video "Couldn't be any Better" my friend. Thank You for all of your time and effort, it's "Greatly" appreciated. I'll be ordering Chromecast as soon as I'm done here. People like you make YouTube as great as it is...

Wow, showing a clip from that original Chromecast video back when he had just 81 subscribers. What an evolution. Keep hustlin, Brett. Salute!

I would like to see Google add two things to their device capabilities:
1. For users, like myself, who have multiple chromecast devices throughout their home, I would like to see them add the ability to 'change device' when you tap the cast icon. For example, if I'm casting to the TV in my living room and I'm headed down to the garage, I'd like to be able to tap the cast button and transfer my cast to the garage TV rather than having to disconnect and reconnect my cast and then resume my video. It's a small detail, but it would be something that I would use often.

2. I would also like to see Google add the option to use your handheld device for audio while casting. Similar to roku's headphone jack on their remotes. I often watch TV in bed while my wife sleeps and I'm hard of hearing. Having the option to use my Bluetooth headphones connected to my phone while casting video to the TV would be an amazing upgrade.

I don't know if people from Google watch your videos, but they should. Thank you for your service, sir.

I don't have the Google chromecast with Google tv BUT I do have the onn full hd streaming stick with Google tv. It was 15 bucks and it does exactly what that Google one does. I use it all the time and I love it, and my onn Google TV stick still gets updates, it actually got one two days ago!

Brett, tysm for your channel! I know I’m commenting a year after this video was created, but I have stuff in my head. I love my chromecast tv! I also have Apple TV in my bedroom and I was using both Amazon Fire TV (box not stick) and roku on my living room tv. I hooked up chromecast on a loop w/ my samsung tv and samsung soundbar. The settings for the remote are the only thing that took some effort. You can only assign one device to the power button, but I did figure out a way that works. If anyone is having issues w/ that, the home button will wake up the chromecast so you can assign the power button to your tv. The ONLY other issue I have is that it frequently has issues loading YT and will either show the buffering wheel or on the YT home screen it won’t load the content. Where there should be a thumbnail, is a blank placeholder. I’ve tried everything from clearing the cache, updating the app, deleting the app, and all the modem and router resets, and the suggestions on google’s help page. I now know it’s not an issue w/ my wifi or wifi equipment because I replaced my router with Nest and it still has the loading issue. I’m going to move my tv soon and I was going to connect everything through an ethernet switch. But then I realized chromecast doesn’t have an ethernet port! Guys! What do I do?! Help me!

What I really wanted to share is that the reason I bought chromecast is because I was in the process of trying to decide which smart home system to use, including a mesh system. Since I have apple tv (a homekit hub) and fire tv w/ a couple random Amazon devices, I thought I should try chromecast so I could sample a little from each of the smart home players. And using chromecast nudged me toward purchasing a nest mesh for wifi and I love it so much. Sometimes I also hate it and want to murder the assistant, but that’s just the way puppy love is, right? For real, the learning curve can be incredibly frustrating, but we’re getting there.

Thinking about your dad, I can imagine that when he was a kid, they had the rotary dial on phones that likely hung on the wall. Now look! He's playing with apps during a video call! He saw Star Trek in black and white and to see where tech is in his lifetime must be awesome! He went from an era where you had what, 3 or 4 channels and a cinema to a phone that allows him to watch whatever, whenever! That's pretty kool.

Not only the thorough review helping us dedciding to buy it but also the so well explained how-to setup successfully guided my wife and I in completing the setup of our recently bought Chromecast w/Google TV. Thank you Brett, excellent video.

I'm a frustrated Roku user, Sent it back & was waiting for a detailed review like this. Thanks very much. This is so detailed it answers every question I have. Thanks very much.

[virgilspinu]

Now that's what I call a true review!
Directly to the point, just very detailed and useful information.
Thank you!

I want to thank you for a thorough review of the Google Chromecast with Google TV. I will be purchasing mine tomorrow. This was my first time watching one of your reviews and after finishing the review I did not hesitate to hit the subscribe button. You have definitely become my "go to" tech reviewer! Keep up the good work!

Awesome video! All I am going to say is that is dad really needs to be in every single video made from this day forward. He had me laughing so hard and he was having such a good time. 😂🤣😂 God bless him. 🙏

[christerp]

I'm 100% here for the Google Duo call with space dad. Warmed my heart right up ❤️

[divyangvaidya]

So detailed without the unnecessary fluff. This is how you do it. Well done.
