#Chromecast device Bluetooth
It didn't even start, so I abandoned this and still using Bluetooth to transfer the sound itself. There is no official support for such feature, so I tried some open source projects. I actually wanted to use it even to send wirelessly sound from my MacBook to my remote speakers, but that's not possible.

That would be useful if I could actually install those apps - majority of them are only for US app store, so it points me only to an error message. Apart from showing a list of devices (plus basic control) it shows also list of chromecast enabled apps. The GoogleCast app takes pretty long to load even though it does almost nothing.

You can also project anything from your phone or tablet to your TV, such as images from your Google Photos account or Facebook, or share content from your Internet browser, and if you have a Google Home device, you can use voice controls to find the media and entertainment you want to play, making the Chromecast even easier to use, whether you're searching for a specific photo, TV episode, or YouTube video.

Along with paid, subscription-based apps, there are also 1000s of free applications to stream from.

If you're already a subscriber to some popular apps, you don't even need to sign in to use them simply launch them from the app on your phone and watch instantly.

Some apps you can use vary, from music-listening apps like Spotify to streaming services like Hulu along with TV networks like HBO and the CW. Your phone can control the streamer from anywhere you are in your home using the Cast button to 'mirror' what's on your phone to your TV screen. Transform your iPhone into your TV's remote control and select what you want to watch or do, and let the Chromecast do the rest. Compatible with a variety of applications, the Chromecast works via your Apple or Android device to bring you the entertainment you desire without glitches or using up your battery power. There are over 200,000 movies and TV episodes to select from with the Chromecast, and 30 million songs to listen to via music applications like Pandora. This plug-in streaming device easily installs into your TV's HDMI port for simple wireless access to streaming movies, television shows, and even games.
