How to Connect Chromecast to Mobile Hotspot: 2 Best Ways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The steps for connecting Chromecast to a mobile hotspot are essentially the same whether you have an iPhone or an Android device. Some minute details will change, but before you can actually carry out the steps, it would help if you have a Wi-Fi router. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Wi-Fi router will directly connect your devices with each other and will help in transmitting data. Hence, the Wi-Fi router needs to function well and have a strong connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case you don’t have a router, then you will first have to recreate router functionality using other devices. I will come to that later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Connecting Chromecast to Hotspot if Router is Available<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Follow these steps to make the connection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step I:<\/strong> First, match the network name and password of your Chromecast Device with your Wi-Fi router network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step II:<\/strong> Next, connect your Chromecast Device with your Wi-Fi router network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step III:<\/strong> Turn your Wi-Fi router OFF<\/strong> and ON<\/strong> your Wi-Fi hotspot on the Chromecast Device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step IV:<\/strong> Navigate to the Google Home App on your smartphone and “cast” to Chromecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step V:<\/strong> Lastly, now the Chromecast will cast the hotspot of your phone, and you’ll be able to watch your desired shows on the big screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Setting up Chromecast with Hotspot When a Router is Not Available<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If a Wi-Fi router is not available, then you will have to first create a Wi-Fi router with one device and then use the other device as a casting device. Did that sound too technical? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fret not! Follow these steps to the T, and you will be good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step I: <\/strong>First and foremost, you will need to have 2 devices at your disposal. One will be used to create a Wi-Fi router (through mobile hotspot and hence will be called hotspot device), and the other will be used for casting, hence called casting device in the steps below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step II: <\/strong>Turn on the hotspot on your hotspot device and connect to the internet with your mobile data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step III: <\/strong>Turn on the Wi-Fi on your Chromecast device, and connect your hotspot device to this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step IV: <\/strong>After connecting the two devices, your casting device is ready to cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
