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\nStep II: <\/strong>Turn on the hotspot on your hotspot device and connect to the internet with your mobile data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep III: <\/strong>Turn on the Wi-Fi on your Chromecast device, and connect your hotspot device to this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep IV: <\/strong>After connecting the two devices, your casting device is ready to cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFactors to Consider Before Connecting Chromecast to Your Mobile Hotspot<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt is very much possible and easy to connect mobile hotspots for Chromecasting, but there are a few points worth noticing before you actually do that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Data Charges – <\/strong>Many of you might have a limited data plan, which is not at all suited for streaming HD media. Chromecasting uses a lot of data, and it might take massive charges, and all your data will be finished using Chromecasting only. In that case, it needs to be connected to a good Wi-Fi network.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nMobile Network Speed – <\/strong>People use mobile hotspots when their Wi-Fi connection crashes most of the time. However, in some instances, your mobile hotspot might not be enough. For Chromecasting, you need a minimum of 5Mbps speed or more to make it work efficiently. Even if it is 4G or 5G, you may still face problems due to your location where the network isn’t good enough.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nFirmware Updates – <\/strong>Chromecast not only uses your internet connection to stream videos, but it also gets engaged with some background processes, including firmware updates. This is one of the major factors that hamper Chromecasting when done with the mobile hotspot. That’s why it’s always better to download the firmware updates. It will use a minimum of 15 GB of data per month. It won’t be a problem if you have an unlimited plan.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nFAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nQ1.
