Instead of having Blu rays, DVDs and downloaded movies everywhere you can download an app to organise all your media to be able to watch everything from one place.
Another great feature of the Chromecast is guest mode.
If you’ve got people over, go to the Google Chromecast device settings and turn on ‘guest mode’ and people can use any app that has the Google Cast icon such as YouTube.
This gives everyone the ability to watch the same thing on the telly – and you don’t have to all crowd around a mobile phone to see!
Lastly, if you fancy it, you can browse the web on your TV.
Simply choose the option in the top right-hand corner of your browser and cast your current tab to the TV. This might make for easier reading for you or you could use it if you’re browsing the web with someone else.
Make sure that your devices are on and nearby
Check that your AirPlay-compatible devices are on. If your Apple TV is in Sleep mode and uses Ethernet, wake your Apple TV with the remote.
Make sure that your AirPlay-compatible device is near the device that you're trying to stream from. If you can't connect to an AirPlay device, try moving closer to it and try again.
To stream audio to multiple speakers with AirPlay 2, make sure that your speakers are compatible with AirPlay 2.

If your music unexpectedly stops
If your music stops playing unexpectedly, use your device or Siri to start playing music again. In some situations, the Home app may be using your HomePod,* Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible speaker as the main audio source for streaming music (even if your HomePod* or Apple TV isn’t currently playing music). Using Siri on that device or performing another task may cause playback to stop everywhere. You can also use an iOS device or computer with iTunes as an audio source to stream music manually instead.
If you see video but can't hear audio
If you can't hear audio when streaming video from your iOS device or Mac to your Apple TV, make sure that the volume has been turned up and isn't muted on both your iOS device and your television or receiver.
If you're streaming video from an iPhone or iPad, check the Ring/Silent switch. If it's set to silent, you'll see an orange line. Toggle the switch to turn on the ringer.
If your content gets interrupted or your network is lagging
If you have a weak Wi-Fi signal or suffering interference from a nearby device, such as a microwave or baby monitor, try the following:
- Make sure that you use the recommended settings for your Wi-Fi router.
- Move or turn off any other devices that may cause interference.
- If you're trying to AirPlay to Apple TV, try connecting your Apple TV directly to your router with an Ethernet cable instead of using Wi-Fi.
Your AirPlay connection may be interrupted if you lock your device, put it to sleep or switch to a different app.
