Requirements for Chromecasting 

To Chromecast TikTok to your TV, you will need the following equipment:

A Chromecast Device

This small device can plug into your TV, allowing you to stream content directly from your phone, tablet, or computer.

A Compatible TV

Only TV’s with a Chromecast-compatible HDMI port can use the Chromecast device.

A Smartphone or Tablet

You will need a device with the TikTok app installed in order to select and stream the videos you want to watch on your TV.

A Stable Wi-Fi Connection

Your Chromecast and your smartphone or tablet must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network to stream content.

Steps For Setting Up Your Chromecast 

It’s essential to ensure that your Chromecast and TV are correctly set up and configured. Follow the instructions provided by below to set up your Chromecast and ensure that it is working correctly.

Step One

Your phone and Chromecast have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If you’re unsure how to do this, you can check the instructions with your Chromecast or visit the Google Chromecast website for more information.

Step Two 

Once both devices have been connected to the same network, open the TikTok app and find the video you want to watch/cast. If you are new to TikTok, use the search function to find specific videos or browse through the app’s feed to find something that catches your eye.

Step Three

Once you’ve found the video you want to watch–I bet this won’t take long because of the numerous exciting videos on the platform–tap the “Share” button at the bottom of the screen. This will bring up a menu of video-sharing options, including the opportunity to cast it to a Chromecast device.

Step Four

From the share menu on the remote, select your Chromecast. 

You’ll see a list of all available instruments if you have multiple Chromecast devices set up in your home. Just tap the specific one you want to use.

Once you’ve done this, the video should start playing on your TV through the Chromecast. 

If you want to control the playback, you can either use your phone or the TV itself–depending on the type of Chromecast you have. 

For example, if your Chromecast has a remote or the TV has a built-in Chromecast, you can pause, play, or skip to the following video.

If you want to stop the video, tap the “Stop casting” button on your phone or use the TV’s remote control to stop the playback.
