🎦 YouTube
YouTube is owned by Google, the makers of the Chromecast. So, as you would expect, the video streaming app runs really well on the device.
YouTube barely needs any introduction. Whether you want music videos, gaming walkthroughs, funny short-form videos or tutorials, it is all there, easy to stream on TV via your Chromecast. Around 3.7 million new YouTube videos are uploaded every single day, so you are never going to run out of things to watch.
The best thing about YouTube is the huge variety of content options. It is the king of the video apps for pretty much everything except for full feature films. Most of us have our favorite YouTubers, and by using the casting feature, you can watch them right there on your TV.
🎦 Netflix
Netflix is another of the Google Chromecast apps that needs virtually no introduction. Since starting to offer streaming content back in 2007 the service has become hugely popular, and has a massive repertoire of movies and TV shows.
Nowadays, Netflix is famous for developing their own shows, which means that there is a lot of content on the platform you won’t find anywhere else. For example, if you want to watch the hit shows Ozark, Money Heist, or DAHMER, you will need a membership.
Netflix isn’t just about the new, exclusive shows, it also offers a wide range of award-winning films, documentaries, comedy shows, and much more. This is another service with more content than most people could ever consume, and it works perfectly on Chromecast with an integrated streaming function.
🎦 Plex
Plex is an interesting and unique service that gives you the option to manage your media library and streaming options. It gives you access to some free streaming content and live TV channels (ad supported) but it also has an option for users to run a media server. This makes it easy to stream videos directly from a computer or other device to your Chromecast device.
There are a lot of movies and television shows you can stream using your Plex device but they aren’t necessarily the biggest, most popular, or most recent releases. This is to be expected as it is a free service that’s supported by ads.
🎮 Twitch
Twitch live streaming is huge, especially in the world of gaming. The Twitch app is another Chromecast-compatible option. It gives you the chance to watch people playing your favorite games, follow along with esports, and more. A lot of people even enjoy Twitch for the music playlists people make and broadcast.
Twitch is amazing for the sense of community and gives you access to a lot of different content creators. It’s free to download, but memberships allow you to leave tips for your favorite streamers.
🎵 Spotify
Spotify has over 400 million users worldwide. It can provide you access to most of the music ever released by major record labels, all for $9.99 a month (if you don’t want to put up with those pesky ads).
Spotify’s popularity is partially down to the fact that it can be used on so many different devices, and the app can be used on your phone to listen to albums and playlists, or it can be used on Chromecast.
🎵 SoundCloud
SoundCloud is another audio-based app that is compatible with your Chromecast. It is free to start using but does have a $4.99 fee if you want to unlock full functionality via Soundcloud Go (and avoid having to listen to ads).
The app is great for content creators and a lot of musicians release exclusive content, remixes, and rarities via their SoundCloud. This is especially true in the electronic and hip hop scenes, where SoundCloud has also become a way to discover music.
