How To Use Chromecast No Hdmi

5 plug the device in.

How to use chromecast no hdmi. Which kind of defeats the purpose. You might be able to use a female hdmi to male dvi d adapter but only if the tv is able to receive a digital signal. It s about 9 years old so it has other ports. If you re not sure whether the app you re using is compatible with chromecast check your screen for the chromecast icon pictured below. If you re using an app that s optimized for use with chromecast you should see the cast icon appear somewhere on your screen.

Tap cast to view the app on your tv. The chromecast connects directly to an hdmi port on your tv and stays hidden behind your tv or off to the side. As above i have a chromecast gizmo but my tv doesn t have an hdmi port. I have one scart port free which says rgb video and s video. For instance while casting watch espn on my pc to tv i can t fullscreen the video in the tab so that the video on my tv is fullscreen and still use the pc.

Next use the remote control of your television to change the source input of your tv to the right hdmi port into which the chromecast device is plugged into see image below on most remote controls you will be required to press input or source button and continue pressing the input or source button until the television display changes from hdmi 1 to hdmi 2. The lack of the hdmi in port could be a downside for some users. But with dual monitor i can have the video. Dvi i sends an analog signal as well and the chromecast device is not likely to send that type of signal over the dvi adapter.
