I can get through the first steps up to the point where it says "choose the wifi network you want to use with Chromecast". I get a confirmation message about Chromecast being set to hotspot on iPhone but after that I get the message that i am no longer connected to the same wifi as Chromecast. I tried connecting my iPhone to its own hotspot but it doesn't seem to work. Please help.&nbsp;</P> Thu, 10 Mar 2022 16:13:33 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Chromecast-and-iPhone/m-p/120666#M12511 Lorin 2022-03-10T16:13:33Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Chromecast-and-iPhone/m-p/120861#M12544 <P>That's not a supported configuration.&nbsp; But, some people have reported that they can get it to work.</P> <P><BR />There is a trick... most phones can't BE the WiFi network and act like they are ON the network at the same time.<BR /><BR />So, you will probably need another device<BR /><BR /><BR />Turn on the WiFi hotspot on your phone to make a new network (note: this HAS to have full internet access)<BR />Connect your other device to your phone hotspot<BR />Use the other device to setup your Chromecast to use the phone hotspot<BR />Use the other device to cast to your Chromecast<BR /><BR />A couple more warnings... as I said, your hotspot has to have internet access.
