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, 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
