5 Chromecast TV features you're not taking advantage of (including this smart home trick)


Google's popular streaming device has been around for over a decade - and it's still good for more than just binge-watching your favorite shows.

The Chromecast Preview Program is a user-opt-in channel that updates your Google device with the latest firmware version before it's made broadly available. Each person in your household can have their unique profile through the Google TV platform on your Chromecast, keeping their customized algorithms (and content recommendations) to themselves. Once those are linked, you can also use the Chromecast Voice Remote (what I call the "Hey Google" feature) to request which camera you'd like to show on your TV.
