Thank you for your reply. I am giving up trying to connect my blackview S8 to my Panasonic smart HD TV using Google Chrmecast. It says on many forums that i dont need WiFi as i can sign in as a guest.

Tried everything with not even a hint of success so taking chromecast back to shop .

So much for modern technology making life easier.

Regards

Andy

Hi again,

The minimum requirements for using the Google Home app are Android 8.0 and above or iOS 14.0 and above.

Minimum requirements:

A Chromecast device will always need a WiFi internet connection to work, guest mode allows devices not connected with the same WiFi network as the Chromecast to communicate.
