The Google Chromecast (2013) has gained popularity from its budget price and ability to wirelessly display YouTube and other Apps from Android smartphones like the LG G5 on to Smart TVs like the Samsung K4300 Joy Smart TV.

Here's how you can pair the Google Chromecast (2013) with the LG G5.

To use Google Chromecast (2013), make sure that you have connected the Chromecast to one of the HDMI ports of the TV and powered on the Chromecast by attaching the USB cable to a TV USB port or a USB power adapter. You also need to make sure your TV is powered up, and the HDMI input of your TV is the same port that you connected the Chromecast to.

   

Next, you need to install the Google Chromecast (2013)'s App on the LG G5 by downloading and installing the App from Google Play. Note that Google has changed the name of the Google Cast App to 'Google Home'. You can click here to see how to set up the Google Chromecast (2013).

We are assuming here that you have already set up the Google Chromecast (2013) and the LG G5 with your local Wi-Fi network.

From your LG G5, download and install the Google Home App from the Google Play Store.

 

Open the App and click the top right menu icon -> Cast screen / audio -> CAST SCREEN / AUDIO. The App will then search for the Google Chromecast (2013).

  

You can select your Google Chromecast (2013) model once it is found, and the casting connection process will start. Once the casting connection is established, you should be able to see the LG G5's screen on the TV connected to the Google Chromecast (2013).

 

The Google Chromecast (2013) is a simple, low-cost way for Android phones like the LG G5 to display their content on larger TV screens. If you are a heavy YouTube user or movie enthusiast, it's an easy way to enjoy shows with friends.
