for anyone trying this with an iphone, you need 2 phones (i did it with 2 iphones) turned on hotspot on one and connected to it with the other before starting the setup. also when you connect to the hotspot, click the info ℹ️ next to the hotspot name and turn off all toggles (privacy protection and maximize cap and all else) it’s going to give you a privacy warning but this is the only way i was able to connect after trying again and again. after turning everything off and trying again it was able to connect finally. hope it helps all fellow iphone users as it was a bit of a headache but i didn’t give up 😅

@lauraliz_. 7 ай бұрын

everything else is as the video says, choose the hotspot you are already connected to, enter password and it should go thru after that

UPDATE: EURIKA, it worked!!! I can't tell you how many twists & turns I had to do differently from your step-by-step instructions, but I somehow got it all to work... YAY!!! Thank you, THANK YOU!!! I just got a new phone, so everything was disconnected, and I/we were seriously bummed b/c I've always had to ask someone to connect our Chromecast. Thanks to your clear instructions, I was able to do it all myself just now, even though I'm not sure how since my gadget(s) kept giving me error messages when following your instructions. None of that matters now, b/c IT WORKS! LOVE YOU Sam! I "like" AND I "subscribed." Can't wait to see what other tips I can learn from you! 💕👍 Now I'm going to set this up in the bedroom. 😊 S.O.S... can you (or someone) help? At the point when it asks me to turn on the Wi-Fi, after flicking on Wi-Fi (w/out clicking on anything), it tells me "Warning: Turning ON Wi-Fi will turn OFF Mobile Hotspot." ...I'm about to click on OK, but given what the warning says, I'm guessing this won't work for me. Any suggestions?

SUCCESS! I've been trying for ages (5 yrs on and off?) to overcome hotel rooms where there is a password to connect so the hotel wifi: the key moment (for me) was at 1.43 where it is explained '"the trick is..." and it worked. thanks Sam...maybe you might post a vid under the title 'how to chromecast when the hotel wifi has a password but also, to any vid, add the advice, that once you've connected everything up as instructed, go into your phone and connect to the hotel WIFI so as to not use your mobile data...maybe I've got that wrong but I've just done it and all is still working.

For Samsung Galaxy S23 (Ultra) users: I was able to get this to work after a bunch of messing around. The main thing I did differently than in the video was that in the hotspot settings, I went to "Configure" --> "Advanced", and then I enabled the option for "Wi-Fi Sharing". I then saved the settings, turned my Wi-Fi back on, and connected to my home Wi-Fi network. I also disabled my "AdGuard" local VPN as I suspect that may have been interfering. Then I was able to go back into the Google Home app, enter the "other network" settings for the chromecast, and then try to save it a few times. It still acted like it couldn't connect to the chromecast the first few times, but eventually it got to the screen where it just says "Connecting your chromecast" or "Trying to connect" or something like that for more than 30 seconds. When it was stuck there for a while, I force quit the Google Home app, and after I opened it back up, the Chromecast was there, and I was able to cast to it 👍

I'm glad you got it working... but seems like you had another issue all together 😅 it's pretty simple to connect Chromecast and your phone on your home Wi-Fi network. I'm trying to connect my Samsung S23 Ultra to my Chromecast WITHOUT using a Wi-Fi network (so I can use on cruises/hotels)

@explosivelybrilliant OMG...Truly, you are brilliant 👏🏽 😀 👌. I have 2 Chromecasr. For over 7 years, I've tried everything possible to connect my phone data to my Chromecast. Samsung reps kept telling me it was impossible. My network said the same, too. There's no videos explaining what you've shared with us, which is priceless. I only found out yesterday that mirroring and using phone data are totally 2 separate things 🤯. Once i knew this, everything fell into place. For several years, ppl and self-help videos were saying that all you need to do is mirror. They made out that WiFi & data are in mirroring.😂 Again, thanks to your info that said "wifi sharing," for the 1st time, I was able to mirror on to my TV using the Samsung app. I can now activate my video doorbell, too, by using wifi sharing option. Thank you.😊❤

Hi! Thank You for the HotSpot Tip! Felt like I was the only Dude, on Earth, who can't make my Chromecast Ultra display as "Secure" on the massive list of SSIDs listed in my neighborhood. So I simply unplugged the unit last month until I saw your video about using our phone's Hotspot instead. I know, for a fact, when my Phone's Hotspot SSID shows up on the big neighborhood list, it always says *secure.* Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong with my Chromecast that's leaving it "wide open" on the internet?

It took a bit of messing around but I got there. I think my phone is a slightly newer version so it wasn’t quite the same. I used the set up on the remote rather than my phone. I also found that my phone has a relatively short period to be detected for hotspot. Nice I hit hotspot back off and then on again it connected.
