Per your follow-up question in the old forum asking if you can use a phone as your internet source...
That's not a supported configuration.
But, some people have reported that it works fine.
There is a trick... most phones can't BE the WiFi network and act like they are ON the network at the same time.
So, you will probably need another device
- Turn on the WiFi hotspot on your phone to make a new network (note: this HAS to have full internet access)
- Connect your other device to your phone hotspot
- Use the other device to setup your Chromecast to use the phone hotspot
- Use the other device to cast to your Chromecast
A couple more warnings... as I said, your hotspot has to have internet access. Chromecasts require this even when you are casting local content. Be warned that Chromecasts can use a LOT of data quickly. Because of this, speed of connection is important. Even if you have "unlimited data", some providers throttle phone data speeds when you do a lot of data. This will impact the quality of your casting or cause a lot of stutters.
