If the chromecast dongle is plugged into an HDMI port on the TV and its power cord is plugged into a USB port on the TV, can it stream content over a WiFi router if there is no other device such as a phone or tablet? Or is chromecast simply a way of displaying to the TV screen content that is being streamed to another device?



The TV does not have the Youtube TV app (too old).

Chromecast streams its own media over Wifi from the internet but it needs a mobile device to initiate and control the stream (for example to stop, pause or skip).

  • Thanks. I found a how-to page saying that it might be possible to control chromecast with the TV's remote using HDMI-CEC (if the TV supports that feature and "Deck Control").

  • True, most modern TVs support this via the TV remote. You still need a mobile device to tell the Chromecast what to stream.
