10 Things to Know About Chromecast with Google TV

1. Hello, Chromecast with Google TV

The all-new Chromecast with Google TV does everything your favorite Chromecast does and more, with help from the new Google TV experience and Google Assistant.  It brings together movies and shows from across your streaming apps and organizes them just for you.  It comes in three beautiful colors inspired by real homes: snow, sunrise and sky.

2. New Chromecast design, now with more power

Chromecast keeps its compact and thin design that neatly plugs into your TV’s HDMI port and hides out of sight.  Despite its size, Chromecast streams crystal clear movies in up to 4K HDR 60 fps.  It also supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos to make your watching experience more immersive.

3. Chromecast, now with a remote

Our most requested feature is here. The new voice remote can control your TV or soundbar, change the volume, switch inputs, and more. The dedicated Google Assistant button lets you search your favorite shows, get answers, and more with just your voice.  Plus it has dedicated buttons for the two of the  most popular streaming services today, YouTube and Netflix.

4. Google TV – Your movies and shows. All in one place

Google TV organizes movies and TV shows from your favorite services into a single place. It’s easy to find what you want to watch across your apps, so you spend less time endlessly scrolling and more time enjoying content. Browse hundreds of thousands of movies and TV episodes through apps like YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Prime Video and more.

9. Fill your home with music: multi-room audio

You can group Chromecast with other Nest speakers and displays in order to play synchronized music in multiple rooms. It works with your favorite audio apps, including YouTube Music, Spotify, and more. You can easily set up a speaker group in the Home app.

10. Relive your memories with Google Photos

Enjoy a slideshow of your pictures from your Google Photos library right on your TV when your Chromecast is not being used or simply ask, “Hey Google, show my photos from Hawaii”.

5. Find your next favorite. Based on your favorites.

Get personal recommendations based on what you’ve watched and what interests you, from across your subscriptions and content available to you. All you have to do is ask the Google Assistant, “What should I watch” to get a list of popular movies and shows. Google TV’s Watchlist lets you bookmark movies and shows you want to save for later.

6. Do more on your TV. Just ask Google.

Ask for a specific title or search by mood, genre, actor, and more. Just press and hold the Google Assistant button and say:

Show me sci-fi movies
Dim the lights
Show me the front door
Set thermostat to 18

7. Made with the environment in mind

Chromecast breathes life into existing TVs and is designed with recycled materials, it helps keep waste out of landfills. And 49% of its plastic mechanical parts are made with recycled plastic, so you can feel good about watching TV.
