How to Connect Chromebook to TV

Chromebooks are small, lightweight computers without large displays. But sometimes, you just want a bigger screen, and that's why screen sharing with a TV is useful. It may not seem complex at first, but like with many things in life, there are often more moving parts than meets the eye. Rest assured, however, we'll demonstrate straightforward methods on how to connect Chromebook to TV.

Chromebooks make it easy to connect to TVs wirelessly. You only need an Android TV and a shared Wi-Fi network between your Chromebook and TV. Chromebooks already have Chromecast built-in, so there's no additional configuration required to stream Chromecast content.

The process of how to mirror chromebook to tv wirelessly is as follows:

Step 1. Open the Quick Settings panel, select "Cast", ensuring both devices are powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 2. The second step is for your Chromebook to identify your Android TV independently. To link your Chromebook to the TV, click on its name.

Step 3. That's all! Your TV will instantly be able to see your Chromebook's full screen.

Step 4. In the Quick Settings menu, choose "Stop" and click on it to unplug your Chromebook from the TV.

Connecting your Chromebook to the TV with an HDMI connection will ensure minimal latency. Since most new Chromebooks include a USB Type-C connection, you'll need a Type-C to HDMI adapter. You can use an HDMI cable if your Chromebook has a full-size connector. After it is taken care of, the following are the measures to be followed on how to connect Chromebook to TV.

Steps to connect Chromebook to TV with HDMI cable:

Step 1. To connect your Chromebook to your TV, plug in the Type-C connection.

Step 2. After you've connected the Chromebook and TV ends of the connection, go to your TV's "Input" source menu and choose the right HDMI channel.

Step 3. Return to your Chromebook. In the bottom left corner, you should see the App Launcher. Search for "display". Open it. Launch "Display - Device" at this point.

Step 4. In this window, your TV will be an extra screen for your Chromebook. Choose where you want it to go by clicking on it.

Step 5. Confirm that the "Mirror Built-in Display" is turned on.

Step 6. And here we are, all done. You may now link your Chromebook to your TV. Disconnecting is as easy as severing the cable at either end.

You can only mirror the browser window, rather than the whole screen, onto the TV. Thanks to the built-in Chromecast technology, Chrome users can wirelessly link their TVs to their Chrome browsers.
