If you are going on a trip, you can easily take your films and series with you by simply connecting a Chromecast to the TV in your hotel room or holiday home.Your phone can then stream all that content on the big screen.We explain how that works.Whether you go on holiday to take nice trips, go for a walk in nature or lie on the beach all day: sometimes it can be relaxing to watch a movie in the evening in the holiday home.It is useful to take a Chomecast with you and let your phone do the work by streaming.That's not the full story though.You should of course make sure in advance that you choose a hotel or holiday home with a WiFi router.Also check the reviews of other guests beforehand to see what they write about the quality of the WiFi connection.At worst, it is so bad that streaming becomes difficult.If your hotel has a solid connection, you can still be faced with two different situations.In the first case you just get the network name and password, but in the second situation you get limited access and you first have to go through an insertion procedure.In that case you often have to state your name and room number along with other details, after which you will be given access.In either case, we'll help you with the steps below.Note that you will need to reset the Chromecast if you have previously used the device for television at home.Connect it to power and hold the power button.The light will flash and will not release until it comes on.This is the easiest way to connect a Chromecast.All you have to do is set it up like you would at home.Go to the Google Home app, press the plus button at the top and then Set up device.Then you need to choose the correct WiFi network to connect your Chromecast directly.Finally, you give the Chromecast a name and you can then stream from your phone.This method is much less Chromecast-friendly.As soon as you connect to the correct network, you will be redirected on your smartphone to a separate web page with a login screen.There you can enter all the necessary data to connect your phone, but it is not yet possible to connect your streaming stick.Your Chromecast cannot fill out such a registration form by itself.Fortunately, there is a solution where you use one of your devices as a hotspot.This works best with a Windows laptop, because with it you can share your WiFi network - and therefore the hotel connection.Another way is to use your phone as a hotspot, but only then you use mobile data.Note that this only works with Windows and not macOS.Here are the steps:This method is really only desirable for those who have an unlimited subscription.In this case, you are not using your hotel's Wi-Fi network, but your phone's mobile data.By streaming you could exceed your data limit, causing your provider to charge extra costs.If you have unlimited, you can set it like this:Do you often take your Chromecast with you on holiday?Did you manage to set up a Chromecast via a hotspot?Maybe you consciously choose to leave your Chromecast at home?Let us know in the comments.Androidworld is the largest Android community in the Netherlands and Belgium.So we do this together!Do you have a question about the topic we discuss during the theme week or do you have ideas or tips?Let us know in the comments below this article.You can also email us at this email address or leave a message on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.You can also ask us questions via this Telegram group.Would you rather send one of the editors a tip?Then you can too!You are now viewing the reactions for which you have received a notification.
