You can easily connect your Chromebook to a TV or projector using one of the methods below.
Wireless Option
If you wish to go without wires, use this option.
- Connect an Android TV box or a Google Chromecast to the HDMI port on your TV.
- Ensure your TV is set to utilize the input the Android TV or Chromecast is connected to.
- Open the Chrome browser, and choose
> “Cast“. - If you haven’t already, follow the steps on the screen to setup your Android TV or Chromecast device.
- Once setup, you will have many options for casting to the TV screen.
- Select the lower-right corner of the bottom bar and choose “Cast devices available” to display the casting options that are available.
- You can choose “Internal Display” > “Share” to mirror everything on your screen.
- Mirror YouTube videos at high quality by using the “Play on TV” button in the YouTube video menu.
- Netflix even has a “Cast” icon. Use it for better sound and audio with Netflix.
- You can choose “Internal Display” > “Share” to mirror everything on your screen.
Wired Option
Most Chromebooks will have and HDMI port on the side or back of the unit. Simply use a standard HDMI cable to connect it to your TV, and the display will be mirrored on the TV. Audio will be routed to the TV as well.

Hi, so in order for you video to come up on the TV you need to pull the tab up on your computer after hooking up the HDMI then you are going to have to connect a mouse to your chromebook and then shut you chromebook and your chromebook screen will pop up on the TV but if you open you computer again it will disconnect the tab from the screen. Hope this helps !! 😁😁

hi, I´d like to cast the desktop of my chromebook to a smart tv, The name of the tv is Bravia and it says it supports only Miracast.
So every app I downloaded , when I try to connect it, it asks me to enable the wireless display.
i am confused…
thanks
