History
Chromecast was announced on July 24, 2013, and made available for purchase
on the same day in the United States for US$35, along with a limited-time
promotion for three free months of Netflix.The Google Cast SDK was released on
February 3, 2014, allowing third parties to modify their software to work with
Chromecast. According to Google, over 6,000 developers were working on
10,000 Google Castready apps, as of June 2014.
Chromecast was favourably received by tech critics, who praised its simplicity
and potential for future app support. It was the best-selling streaming device in
the United States in 2014, according to NPD Group, and it sold 10 million units
globally that year. Since the product's launch, it has handled more than a billion
stream requests. Google's second Google Cast receiver, the Nexus Player, was
released in November 2014.

Chromecast is a dongle that plugs into the HDMI port of a high-definition television
or monitor. The device connects to the Internet through a Wi-Fi connection to the
user's home network. Chromecast offers two methods to stream content to a
television
The first employs mobile apps and web apps that support the Google Cast
technology.
The second allows mirroring of content displayed by the web browser Google
Chrome running on a personal computer.
Content can also be mirrored from a tab of the Chrome browser (with the Cast
extension) on a personal computer or from the screen of some Android devices. In
the case of "tab casting", the quality of the image depends on the processing
power of the device, and minimum system requirements apply to video streaming.

Chromecast review:
Streaming media on
home
One final issue of note: Google's privacy notice says the company "may
collect system activity, crashes, and other details about how you use
Chromecast, including use of apps and domains (but not full URLs)
accessed by Chromecast". As ever with Google, your lifestyle habits are
being beamed back to the borg.
Thank
You..!!
