The Google Chromecast device is an excellent wireless option for casting your favorite videos and content onto a smart TV. But how exactly do you use your iPad to watch content using Chromecast?

This article will show how to cast your iPad to a TV using Chromecast. We’ll also review how to use Chromecast to watch videos from your favorite streaming applications, such as YouTube, Hulu, and Netflix. Keep reading to learn more.

If your TV has an HDMI port,  you can easily cast videos onto it using a Chromecast device. You’ll also need the Google Home app to help set up the device. If your Chromecast device is already paired with your TV, skip to Step Three. Otherwise, get your Chromecast dongle ready and follow these steps to start watching your iPad videos on your smart TV:

Connect the smaller end of your micro-USB cable to the Chromecast device and the other end to the charger’s header, then plug it into a socket.

Plug the device into your TV’s  HDMI port and take note of your chosen port number.

On your iPad, download and install the Google Home app and sign into the account using your Google account.

Now that the device is set up, you can add streaming services to the app, including Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu. This will allow for easy casting and even recommendations from the Google Home App.

Every time you want to cast to your TV using your iPad, follow these steps:

The good news is that you can continue using other applications as you usually would, even when the cast is in progress. 

Note: If you’ve already set up your Chromecast with an iPad, you don’t need to pair it with another iPad or mobile device if they are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Before you cast your YouTube videos from an iPad, ensure you’re signed in to the same Google account used on the Google Home app.

To watch YouTube on Chromecast from an iPad, you’ll need to pair your Chromecast to the device following the previous steps. After that, follow this process:

Like YouTube, Netflix has a cast feature making it easy to start casting your videos onto your TV. To watch Netflix on Chromecast from an iPad, follow these steps:

To watch Hulu on Chromecast using an iPad, follow these steps:

Many web browsers have a built-in cast feature that allows you to mirror some content onto your TV screen. Unfortunately, the feature isn’t available for all web pages, but luckily it’s enabled on some of the most popular streaming services, including YouTube, Hulu, and Netflix.

To start casting your web browser onto your TV using the Chromecast device, you’ll need the help of a third-party app like the Video & TV Cast app available at the Apple Store. The app is free, but it also features a paid version. Here’s how to use the app to cast a web browser to your Chromecast device:

Please note that the “Video & TV Cast” app only mirrors videos and images on a particular web page, not the entire web page. If you want to cast the whole web page to your TV, an excellent option will be the “TV Mirror for Chromecast” app, which offers the service for a paid subscription. Luckily they have a two-month free trial during which you can try out the app’s features and see if it’s a worthy investment.

Chromecast is the best way to cast series, movies, documentaries, and other educational videos on your TV. Luckily, many popular streaming apps come with the cast feature built-in, making it a snap to start watching your favorite videos on the big screen. However, casting a complete web page can be difficult, but you can get around this by using third-party software.

Regardless, we hope you can now use your Chromecast with your iPad to watch the shows you love from your favorite streaming apps.
