A few tricks for using your Chromecast

Using Guest Mode, your visitors can access your Chromecast without the need to connect to your WiFi network. That way they can share that funny video without further ado. The Chromecast is also an ideal device for giving presentations. This can be useful for teachers, students and business owners. Simply get Google Slides and get ready to wow your students or clients. Sick and tired of the basic entertainment package offered by hotels, or want to enjoy Netflix in your Airbnb? Weighing only a fraction of a pound, the Chromecast is also the ideal companion for business trips and vacations. Although you’ll need to buy a separate travel router to use it on the go, it can be a wise investment for those who are often on-the-road.
