What is Chromecast built-in?

Chromecast built-in is a platform that lets you cast your favorite entertainment from your phone,
tablet or laptop right to your TV. You can connect the devices you already know to your TV.
Casting is as simple as pressing a button from your favorite app. Watch your favorites on the TV while
switching to another app, listen to your top tunes while taking a phone call or sending a text, all without
interrupting what is playing on TV.

TV implementation

There are several ways of setting up Chromecast built-in. Below you can find a short summary of the
different ways Chromecast can be implemented in a professional environment.
•
The easiest integration is letting the TV be in charge of the whole process from creating the
P2P hotspot and enabling Chromecast playback between TV and connecting devices.
•
Second is to use the setting Wi-Fi Login. This will allow you to display the SSID the user will
need to connect to. However, authentication and creation of the VLAN containing the TV and
the connected device will be the SI's responsibility.
•
Last option is to make use of a gateway. This will replace the TV's own UI with an HTML page
that contains an explanation for the user how to authenticate, connect and set up the
Chromecast ecosystem, also this has to be implemented by the SI.

8.3.2.1 Chromecast: Full TV control

From Installer point of view this option is the simplest to achieve. In the [Professional
Settings][Features][Sharing], [Google Cast] needs to be [On] to enable Chromecast.
