Where are you stuck?  Are you getting any error messages?

Your TV does not have to be smart to work with Chromecast devices.  But, you DO need a WiFi network that is connected to the internet.  It can't be one of those shared networks (like in schools or apartment buddings) where you connect and then login using a webpage.

Hey there,

 

Thanks for the help, Byteguy!

 

@Wytboy1965, make sure the Chromecast device is set up correctly. Also, if you are trying to cast videos from Chromecast-enabled apps to your TV, you may check this support website article to learn more.

 

Let us know if you still need further assistance.

 

Thanks,

Jennifer
