Did you know that over 60% of internet users browse the web using Google Chrome? It’s one of the most popular browsers out there. But what if you want to share what you’re seeing on Chrome with others or just enjoy it on a bigger screen?
You might have noticed that Google Chrome doesn’t have a built-in way to stream directly to your TV. This can be frustrating when you want to show a website, watch a video, or give a presentation using your TV as a display.
The good news is that there’s a simple solution: screen mirroring. This lets you display everything on your iPhone or Mac screen, including Google Chrome, right on your TV. It’s a great way to share content with friends and family or just enjoy web browsing on a larger scale.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to stream Google Chrome from your iPhone or Mac to your TV. If you use Chromecast, you can also AirPlay iPhone and Mac to Chromecast without much hassle.
We’ll walk through the process step by step so you can easily set it up and start enjoying Chrome on the big screen. All you need is your device, your TV, and a shared Wi-Fi network. Ready to transform your TV into a giant web browser?
How to stream Google Chrome from your iPhone or iPad to your TV
First, let’s get your TV ready for streaming. If you have an Apple TV or a TV that supports AirPlay 2, here’s what you need to do:
- Open your TV’s settings and look for “AirPlay & HomeKit Settings.”
- Make sure AirPlay is turned on.
Now, let’s walk through the steps to stream Google Chrome from your iPhone or iPad:
- Connect to Wi-Fi: Make sure your iPhone or iPad is on the same Wi-Fi network as your TV.
- Open Google Chrome: Launch the Chrome app on your device. If you don’t have it, you can download it from the App Store.
- Choose your website: Navigate to the site you want to see on your TV.
- Open Control Center: Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen (or up from the bottom on older devices) to open Control Center.
- Tap “Screen Mirroring“: Look for the “Screen Mirroring” option in the Control Center.
- Select your TV: Choose your Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV from the list. If you face any audio-only issues, here’s how to fix AirPlay only playing audio.
- Enter the code: If prompted, type in the AirPlay code shown on your TV screen.
- Enjoy on the big screen: You should now see your iPhone or iPad screen, including Chrome, on your TV!
How to stream Google Chrome from your Mac to your TV
Before we start, let’s set up your devices:
- Turn on both your Mac and your AirPlay-compatible device (like your Apple TV).
