Windows 10: How can I cast my PC to my Chromecast?

I've tried connecting to wireless display but it seems to only want to connect to Bluetooth devices. I tried using Chrome and casting my desktop from the browser but that keeps switching to cast tab when I open steam big picture. I have my PC in my office and I'd like to be able to play games on my TV in the living room with a controller. I don't own a steam link. Is there a way to do this with a Chromecast?

You can certainly cast from your PC with a Chromecast - here's an introduction:

You can't setup a Chromecast from a PC. You'll need your Android phone and the Google Home app.

 

Casting Photos to TV via Chromecast

Hi Donald,



Thank you for the reply.



Try the steps listed below to cast Desktop screen:

• Make sure the Chromecast is connected to the TV and both the devices are On.
  
• Expand the Google Cast extension icon and select
  ‘Cast screen/window (experimental)’ option.
  
• When prompted to cast entire screen,
  Accept and click on ‘Share’.
  
• Open ‘Photos App’ to mirror photos on the PC.
  

You may search for an app that can cast your media to any
Google Cast device on your favorite search engine, and install it from the Store.



Regards,

 

Casting Photos to TV via Chromecast

(You know that Chromecast only works with the Chrome browser, right? I'm sure you already know that, but just in case ...)

It's easy to cast a single photo from your Pictures folder, but if you want to cast more than a single photo you'll have to cast from the Google Photos website.

Casting a single photo is easy because Chromecast can cast tabs. Simply open a photo in a tab and cast that tab.

To cast from Google Photos:

• On Chrome, go to photos.google.com.
• Click View > Cast...
• Select your Chromecast
• To stop casting, click View > Cast... > Stop casting.
