Castplay on Kogan TV with inbuilt chromecast

SThomsy — Sun, 31 Jul 2022 01:13:31 GMT

Hello, I bought a Kogan TV with inbuilt chromecast and saw that to use the casting, I have to download castplayTV, is that correct. When i try to set it up by scanning the QR code to download the app on my IOS, it says that the app is not supported in my country. I am located in Australia. - just wanted to check if that is correct?

Hi SThomsy,

Thanks for reaching out. If you would like to set up your TV with built-in Chromecast, you need to download the Google Home app on your mobile phone and make sure your phone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast built-in TV. Check out this support website article to learn more about setting up a TV with Chromecast built-in.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

thanks for following up

Is it possible to cast from laptop to TV with chrome cast built in? When I tried to cast from my laptop, only audio works but display doesn’t. I try to reinstall the chrome at app on the android tv but still doesn’t work. Any other troubleshooting steps I should follow?

Kind Regards,

Sandra

Hello SThomsy,

Yes, you should be able to cast a tab or desktop using a laptop or computer to your TV with built-in Chromecast. See here how.

However, if you're having trouble casting from your laptop, try the suggested steps below:

Make sure you're using a Chrome browser and it's updated.
Ensure that your laptop's OS version is updated.
Check the proximity of your TV to your laptop and Wi-Fi router.
Reboot your TV, Wi-Fi router, and laptop.
Disconnect and reconnect the laptop from the Wi-Fi network.
Check if your laptop has a power saving setting. If it's enabled, disable it.
Try to use a different casting device (phone, tablet, or another computer) to isolate the issue.
Reset your TV. (Please contact your TV manufacturer to do this step).

Thanks,

Jennifer
