What makes Google Chromecast irresistible ?
Google Chromecast is simply irresistible. It makes possible watching favorite shows from Google YouTube and Netflix on high-definition TV sets. Today web content is dominating the entertainment world as more and more people are switching for online videos and shows. Previously they had to be content with watching these shows on their laptops or desktops which come with a smaller screen. The Google Chromecast enables them to stream videos to large screen TV and ensure more pleasure and entertainment.
Add to this the affordability of Chromecast. At $35, it is truly irresistible and very indulging.
How Chromecast is stealing the show ?
Since its launch, Chromecast is making headlines and garnering a lot of loyalty. There are several factors that are contributing to its soaring popularity.
Chromecast is extremely stylish and pretty small to dangle from a keychain and being carried around.
There is no denying the fact that Roku, Plair and Apple TV have been in the market for quite some time but Chromecast has several advantages over them. Firstly, pricing is a major factor. Chrome is available at almost one third of price of Roku or Apple TV and this is its biggest draw.
Chromecast is extremely easy to install and use. You need to plug it to the HDMI port of the TV set and connect it to a USB port of the TV or the external power adapter for power. You have to use your computer, tablet or phone as the remote control and follow the instructions that are flashed on the TV monitor.
It takes a few minutes to install the chrome application in the tablet or the laptop and also the browser extension for casting from the tab to the TV.
What the future holds for the viewers ?
Currently, Chromecast supports only four services, namely, YouTube, Netflix, Google Play Music and Movies and TV. However, Google has very ambitious plans with this new device.
The tab casting is a fabulous feature that enables Chromecast to mirror chrome browser tabs. This makes it possible for you to play a variety of files in your TV namely, other streaming media websites and shared online playlists.
With tab casting you can watch videos from Crackle, HBO Go, Slacker, Hulu, NBC and a host of services.
Google is eyeing to command the entire Television and has come up with Google cast software developer kit. This kit requires very few lines of coding, around 200 as claimed by Google to in-build Chromecast support for new and existing web applications and mobile devices.
The popularity of Google with content providers has also fueled demand for Chromecast. Most streaming services are eager to integrate their applications with Chromecast. So, with Google Chromecast the experience of viewing TV is all set to become more interesting.
