How to Chromecast to Multiple TVs Simultaneously
Chromecast is a versatile device that lets you stream content from your mobile device or computer to your TV. However, what do you do if you have multiple TVs in different rooms and want to broadcast the same content on all of them? In this article, we’ll show you how to Chromecast to multiple TVs simultaneously.
Before we begin, you must know that Chromecast is not designed for multi-room streaming. However, with a little bit of effort and some additional hardware, you can make it work.
Step 1: Check Your TVs
To Chromecast to multiple TVs, you need to have compatible TVs equipped with HDMI ports and USB ports. If your TVs have HDMI ports but no USB ports, you need to use a separate power source for the Chromecast device. If your TVs do not have HDMI ports, you can use an adapter to connect them to the Chromecast device.
Step 2: Connect Chromecast to Each TV
Plug the Chromecast device into each TV’s HDMI port and connect the USB cable either to the USB port on the TV or to a separate power source.
Step 3: Set up Chromecast
Connect the Chromecast device to Wi-Fi, and install it on your mobile device or computer. You can do this using the Google Home app or Chromecast extension. You’ll need to complete the setup for each Chromecast device that you have plugged in.
Step 4: Play Content on All TVs
Once all the Chromecast devices in each TV are set up, you can cast content to all of them. Go to the app or website that you want to stream from and select the Chromecast icon. You should see multiple Chromecast devices pop up. Select all of them and start streaming.
Step 5: Control the Audio
One problem you might face with casting to multiple TVs is that the audio may not be synchronized. A simple solution to this is to use a Bluetooth speaker that you can connect to all the TVs. Alternatively, you can use a stereo receiver that can sync audio across multiple HDMI inputs.
Conclusion
Casting to multiple TVs is not straightforward with Chromecast, but it’s still doable. With several steps and additional hardware, you can easily stream your favorite content to all the TVs in your home. However, keep in mind that syncing audio may still be an issue. Nonetheless, with a bit of setup, you can enjoy the convenience of multi-room streaming with Chromecast.
