How to Use Phones Mobile Data (NOT Home Wifi Network) on Google Chromecast (STEP BY STEP)

- I show how to use your phones mobile data instead of your homes wifi network on the Google Chromecast and it doesn't matter what generation Chromecast you are using (eg. 1st generation, 2nd, 3rd, etc).
Note that we need to make one device/phone that has a sim card (network card) in it and enable mobile hotspot. Making this the mobile hotspot basically replaces your home wifi network. Remember this phone with the hotspot will use the data from that phone (so make sure you have unlimited data on your phone plan).
The phone that has hotspot enabled cannot use the google chromecast to stream or cast netflix, youtube, hulu, etc however you can continue to use the phone as usual. In order to stream or cast there needs to be another device that is connected to your hotspot in order to be able to use the Google Chromecast. Any device that connects to your hotspot will be able to use Google Chromecast.
Once you set up the google chromecast through the Google Home app to connect to the hotspot then even if you disconnect the chromecast right now then plug it into a hotel TV, or computer monitor at a friends house, or your car or truck or at a park as long as your have the hotspot phone with you and hotspot is enabled then anybody that connects to your hotspot can use chromecast.
I tried my best to explain everything in laymen terms. Let me know if you have questions. I know my dad still does.

Ray Romano made this video right?
😂😂😂
Thank you. Your video helped me in 2024. Didn’t want to invest on WiFi when I pay a lot in data alone. Thank you. 😊
Great, just what I have been searching for. Clear and consice instructions. You nailed it sir.
Thank you so much. On holidays and it’s day three and kids and wife are wanting to stream shows. Clear easy to follow instructions. Legend
Finally someone w an iPhone tutorial YOURE the man
Took a while to find the gem out of all rubbish around. Thank you.
I have been trying for 3 weeks until I seen this and 🤗I'm watching movies on my Chromecast tv it took 3 minutes
As I understand this, you are going to use up your hot spot data very quickly. I need to know how to only use my unlimited 4g data fromy phone, not my Hotspot data.
Been watching some tutorial videos but this video solved my problem. Your explanation is Easy to understand 👌😊
Thank you for sharing ❤️
I did this exactly as explained. I used one phones hotspot and a second phone to cast HBO Max. After 2 movies I checked my cell used as the wifi hotspot and it had used 4 gigs of hotspot data. So apparently not only did it use the second phones mobile data but it also used the hotspot data.
I'm guessing the second phone goes through the hotspot wifi which is sending it to the Chromecast. What good is this when I have Unlimited Data without slow down but like all cell companies there is a Hotspot data limit? Having to use wifi to cast is what ruins this setup. My old cell use to let me plug directly into the HDMI so I didn't use Hotspot Wifi. This new p.o.s. cell phone won't do this. Since I can't afford more than the 15g of Hotspot this will only let me cast 7 movies a month. I'm sure this is all planned to get more money from us.
Same problem here .. all about limited hotspot data, with unlimited hotspot data, this problem will solved
Finally, someone knows what their doing. Thank You Sir, great video and simple to understand 💚👍👍
Yes totally agree other guys are trying to do a 1st line support shit nice n simple video thank you
@@kstarmedia2141 goddamn middleman grabbler's...🤔
So the Chromecast has to be set up on a hard Wi-Fi first then once it's set up it recognizes a hotspot? You can't set it up just using a hotspot from what I gather.
This really work for me at first I fed up then i listen again and pick up now we are here all thanks 😊 🙏
Mine never got past "LOOKING FOR DEVICES" but I'm so happy for you. 😒
Thank you for this!! I am attempting to do this right now!
Well explained video! Problem is I have 1 phone with sim and plan, plus its the phone with everything on it I want to watch. Using another phone is pointless. There has to be another way...
Thanking you kind sir. This worked perfect for me while I pulled on my wife's leg asking her to hold on until I used her phone to check it out before she went to work!!!!!
Thanks a million... from Ireland :)
Thanks, you saved me from smashing my phone and TV!
after using the other phone as my wifi hotspot. can i disable now my wifi hotspot? and use my regular data on my other mobile for casting on chromecast?
Great. Pretty clear instructions. Thankyou so much!!
Just one question. If i may?...How will this affect anything else
For example the Netflix, Amazon, and other streaming app's
Forgive me
I haven't finished watching yet ( I know. Be patient Che " 🙄 😂 )
Thanks in advance 🙏🏼🇬🇧
This video was useful! Solved the problem. THX!
Thx a lot finaly someone with an iPhone tutorial you’re the best, the man respect for u man✊🏾 (a plus subscription)…So Please make a video for the one or those who have an iPhone… or 12Pro, because I have spent a whole day and it has not been done with an iPhone 12Pro…..Because the majority use an Android to do so…that is when I stumble upon your video and I followed exactly what you did; using, 1) the iPhone for a "Wireless Router" / Mobile hotspot 2) an Android phone, where I downloaded, the Google home app on it. (by connecting the wifi of this android phone to the iPhone (wireless Router / mobile hotspot / ... that's when it worked. However, you haven't finished doing it completely with the iPhone. So I followed your method and it works. why the iPhone can't do it easily like the android? That's why I'm asking you to make a video please, where we can do it with an iPhone / while using the mobile hotspot…thx So much
I was stuck for a couple of days trying to set this up until you explained we’ve got to have 2 phones. Thank you!!!
pewdiepie = like
t-series = reply
Its going to drain more hotspot data using two device
Unfortunately this could work for very short sessions here and there.. if you plan on streaming daily you'll use up your Hotspot data in no time... unless there are unlimited hotspot plans out there, not from any of the major carriers that I know of.. some claim unlimited but cripple your connection to 400kbps or slower after your allotted 5-15gb. Streaming will use 1-3gb an hour for video sd/hd, obviously 4k would be around 2-3 hours streaming a month. Sorry if you mentioned this.. Good how to video though
Roger that I'm hoping the Tesla phone will replace all these geezelin carriers, they can go the way of the Dodo
The phone that is casting could have the videos downloaded, therefore no mobile data used.
Thank thank thank thank you. Works with the 3rd generation got there on a 2nd go.
Thank u very much I didnt watch in my tv for a months.thx 😀😃😃😃😃
A big thank you. Very well explain. You save my day.
Does the second phone need to have cell service or does it use the cell service from the phone that has the hotspot?
You share ur first phone hotspot with the second phone of which you download the Google home
Thank you, thank you, thank you !
Awesome video, you made it so easy to understand, congratulations on your channel 🙂
Thank you for explaining it very clearly in the first two minutes 😃 others not so much , guys at the shop , not so much 😒 Thanks again
Interesting info on the google chrome cast .
Most informative video on setting up chromecast for hotspot 👌🏻
Thanks this video helped a lot more than others I watched keep it up and thanks
Brilliant explanation
Excellant video quick and easy thanks so much im subbed
Thanks man! some videos saying you can do it on a single phone! But obviously this didn't work!
Thank You i needed the factory reset.
Can you use a wifi router for this since it Need's wifi?
Excellent instructions. Thank you.
thank you soo much i don't have wifi and i use mobile network ❤️❤️😘😘😘
I am having trouble when setting up through the two mobile system. It ask for a security WEP WASP etc. I have tried them all even selecting none it wont connect. What am I doing wrong????
Yes for my beamer when camping thx
Thanks for that, just perfect!
Great vid, thanks, !!😁
Ok i want to use it WITHOUT internernet using vlc to cast. I understand ineed internet to setup but on vacation i do not have internet. VLC player can cast movies from my lan directly.
I have a question? When using the second phone as a wireless router which device data is being used? By this I am asking if the data is from the Hotspot or the phone that is actually being to run the app? My question revolves around most Hotspot devices are limited to say 15 gigs data per month as where the phone using the app has unlimited data.
That's what I need to know too.
@@Sunshine_day did you ever find out?
The Hotspot does not need a subscription or a sim card, so how can it have a limit ? Who sets the limit ?
If you use your subscripted phone to set up hotspot to a PC or tablet, THEN you are using data off your subscription.
If you use your subscripted phone to stream data to the ChromeCast to watch movies on your TV, then you USE data and it will be a limit, unless you are on an unlimited subscription.
Setting up a hotspot on a phone without sim cost zero.
Now, from what i gather, you would only use this sim-less phone for First setup, then you dont need it anymore.
Then the-say-15 gig HotSpot Limit on your subscription will be in effect.
And that is also why it is so silly and useless.
Nobody in their right mind should buy a subscription with such a limitation.
The limit needs to be on the amount of data plus speed. Not the amount of connected devices, or on hotspot activity or anything else, only amount and speed.
Your question is not silly, its the product they sell, is a way of tricking customers.
A good unlimited subscription where i live, would cost me approx 35 Euro a month, you could get this in Finland, Sweden, Denmark for maybe 20 Euro or less.
USA i know, is just a worm Hole of disgusting subscriptions, and most ppl buy subscription with their new phones, which is something i would not ever
dream of doing. The prices do trickle down, but too slow for my taste.
I think it should be Free. Only phones and high speed internet should cost money. Because so much of the services needed today, is provided on internet and pay-per-phone and scan QR codes and public services like welfare and shit.
Every HoBO can get a phone, but they cant always pay the subscription fee, maybe because they dont have a pay card, no wallet, no identity, no mail adress bla bla bla.
So, internet on phones should be free. Not unlimited speed of course, you would have to pay for that. But say, 2-3 MB/s should be provided to everyone, even those living under a bridge. Enough for them too seek information about diseases, call a medic, location of nearest soup kitchen or how to avoid getting caught by police on the border of Belarus/Ukraine.
My +100 MB/s connection should cost maybe 5 euro per month i think.
I hope this is where we are going in the future.
@@Anders357 without sim card, how we turn on the hotspot? Mostly all network service give unlimited data, but for hotspot is limited
@@user-xv4qe7wt2t actually, the hotspot was not needed. i had a chromecast (gen 3 ?) hooked up on my TV like normal with a wifi router,
and set it up on my cell by resetting the chromecast first to factory, then turning the wifi router off, then opening the home app on the cell phone,
and setting up the chromecast. (maybe i set up the chromecast on the cell phone hotspot before turning router off )
I cant even remember what i did, but the second phone was never needed, and it was very easy.
When i was done installing all the apps and logging in, i disconnected the chromecast and gave the phone and chrome cast to her
(it was her phone, a Moto G7)
She went home, plugged in the chromecast and started immediately watching TV on the phone from the streaming apps i had just installed,
and then just selected to stream to the chromecast, and worked flawless.
I think i have not yet re-logged in on any of the streaming apps on her phone, the connections seem to stay alive and logged in.
She upgraded to 1000 GB a month on her sim and hasnt even used 100 this far.
The cell phone hotspot with phone number 2 was needed for setting up the chromecast first time, and then using this 2nd phone simply as a wifi router.
When you are actually streaming from your sim card phone, then the restrictions will apply, and there isnt any way around that than simply buying a subscription without restrictions.
I think her company charge around 35 €uro/month for 1000 GB, and then you need to be on their own cellular network, we have 3 "competing" cellular networks here.
there is no limitation on hotspotting the data, they stopped with that i think 6-8 years back. A subscription can be had for maybe 10€ but then its like 1 GB or whatever,
or even less € for home automation stuff, like a anti theft device, or calling up your car to make it warm (but these purposes use very little data)
I later bought a Ultra for myself (chromecast with Google TV), now that seems like it needs an ethernet adapter, or it stutters sometimes.
My hotspot instant coming up in the suggestions when I try connect to wifi setting up the device?
I have the same issue, I tried sending a message to google hopefully they reply fast enough. Let me know how it goes for you. I’ll send you an update if I have any luck ☺️
Me too please react when you find an answer
I have the same problem. @iLuvTrading PLEASE HELP!
@@mariamiranda2618 make sure you have sim card on both phone 📱 then share ur hotspot with the second phone 📱 then download Google home on the second phone then start the installation follow the instructions u will get there wen it requests password put the 1st phone 📱 password of the hotspot
WAO nice vid so perfect explainetion 👌
this is a great tutorial. could you please show what happens if you try to cast from the phone that you're hotspotting from? i only have one phone and no ipad/laptop
@@chairmanofthebored8684 thank you for sharing your experience!! i ended up getting a smart tv in the end
What do I do if I have to use a different phone as the hotspot? Is it necessary to reset the cromecast devise to factory settings and start over? Thank you.
Isn't it considered tethering if you hook it up to personal hotspot? ATT gives you like 15GB of tethering with unlimited data or only 3 GB of tethering on some plans as of this viewing Dec.2022
Hello watched your video and can not understand why the soul phone can not be used with the cast it’s like u give everyone the fun and nothing for your self is there a way around this thanks 🙋♂️
Thank you
So is this pulling data from your phone being used as a hotspot or is the data being used up from the phone on CZcams, Netflix etc?
TheMister7 this is what I’m trying to figure out! You ever get a answer?
My guess it use both data. Phone A (the one used as router) will use your hotspot data allocation. Phone B will use your mobile data.
@@mustaqimbasaruddin4686 if I am understanding the topic correctly, I present the following....
I used my daily cell phone (cell A) with active service and set up wifi hotspot (data active).
I used second cell phone ( cell B) with no active service to connect to (cell A, active data) wifi.
I proceeded to set up chromecast with cell B resulting in success.
To finalize, cell phone B can now be casted/mirrored to screen (TV, etc...) via chromecast while cell A wifi remains on even if cell A data is off.
This suggest that data is pulled from cell A exclusively as cell B never had its own data connection separate from the data provided from cell phone A hotspot...
Feedback? Thoughts?
@@mustaqimbasaruddin4686 ok, so, for what we use 2 device to connect, if we still use both hotspot data? I think better only use one device ..
But that uses up my Hotspot data so fast. I only get 30gb of Hotspot a month. Is there anyway just to use my regular data from my phone by casting from my phone directly?
Thanks, this is brilliant questions
Awesome useful video 👍
I'm trying to set up Chromecast 3rd generation using 2 iPhones and a hotspot with unlimited data. The Google Home app finds the Chromecast, but I receive a server error when I click set up. No code appears on my device. What do I need to do?
I did it!! Thank you very much
Will I be able to use the "router" phone to cast?
I.e. Can I use the same phone for data and casting?
Thats great !!!
What a load of convoluted crap (aimed at Google not you!) Why do they have to make things so complicated? I was going to buy a Chromecast but if I have to buy another phone too it's hardly worth it.
thnx man
you explained everything crystal clear
it was a pain in ma ass.
Thats my big tech bro right there ^_^
Great info again!
Great video
good video thanks dude!!💯👍✌
Appreciate the info
When I try to do this, it just says ‘Link with TV code’. It doesn’t allow me to cast. And I’ve followed your exact instructions.
Awesome that's work 👍👍👍
nice tutorial ! thumbs up for it
How much hotspot data does it use up in a week if you watching TV a couple hours a day
Nice & cool info as always...
Is there a way to confirm that the data being used is coming from the device you sent up as the Wi-Fi hotspot, not the phone ? Thanks
So this gonna be eating up our hotspot data on our phone instead of data plan on that phone ?
Thanks. Very well explained. M gonna try in my camper van
My problem is the hotspot won't work I'm in an RV I have no router for internet nothing but the phone data as the hotspot decided to not work the outage and recent changes to the terms in agreement with plans they have made for cell service. I need any alternative that does not require a router or internet from the ISP or hotspot is there absolutely anything or any device anyone can recommend cannot have a line ran out here
Once setup you can get rid of the first phone .Just set hotspot SSID and pass same as first phone
Question please!!
Two devices must be used! Correct?
Does that mean that both devices MUST have a sim cards?
Thank you for your time!
check my comments above.. 2 device needed only for running google home app 1st time only.. after then 01 device is suffice. you have to enter same ssid/wifi id/ paswrd in each device's hotspot setting.. then turn on 4g+ hotspot.. Chromecast connect to device if ssid same .. and use 4g data of the connected device
no just the iphone
When I turn off hotspot, will I have to do the whole process again?
Ok i was able to connect to the chromecast just using the Hotspot phone itself without the other phone! I downloaded nfl fantasy app an im now screen mirroring with the cell phone!
Thanks i subbed 2 U!
What about phone to tablet without wifi ? I want my phones Google maps GPS to be cast on tablet
So you need 2 phones ?
So it can't be done with one single phone?
It ask for to activate wi fi but you told that turn on hotspot . Please tell about this
Solve the provlem thankeo so so much🥰
Cool if you have unlimited hot spot, if not it will be more expensive than internet.
Legend.
I have a android and i have been trying the step 7:32 and every time i try. It asked for nickname and address in my chromecast why?
Can I connect my iPad to my phones hotspot and cast to my tv?
How if we have only limited hotspot data?
What if i have 1 phone nd home router
It doesn’t show my hotspot internet in the google chrome app
hi its says that i should turn off AP isolation...
how to turn it off ? im using ur method
I am doing that since two years same mobile hotspot same mobile only Moro g5 plus
But now new iPhone scattered my plans
Keep disconnecting and refuse to talk with chromecast
Thanks for the video but this is bull , I bought this garbage thinking I could just connect to any TV and cast my phone onto it using my basic data , so now I have to either get a second device to tether or this chrome crap is useless
If you have a TV that has roku or a cast device built into the tv you only need 1 phone.I have 10 G of hotspot data.Only takes about 5 movies to use that up.Before you do this make sure your carrier is unlimited .I have called several different telephone company's and they all charge for hotspot.If yours is unlimited go for it.
Thnx 😍
