Are you aware that Google Chromecast, a convenient tool for streaming or casting media from your device to your TV, has gained significant popularity in recent times? However, were you aware that it is possible to utilize Google Chromecast without a WiFi connection?

Using Chromecast with Guest Mode

One way to use Chromecast without WiFi is by using the Guest Mode feature. This feature allows you to cast your device to your TV without connecting to a WiFi network. Here’s the step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Plug your Chromecast into your TV.
  2. Open the Google Home app on your device.
  3. Find the device you want to set up, and tap on it.
  4. At the top-right corner of the screen, tap on the Settings icon.
  5. Scroll down and turn on Guest Mode.

You can now connect your device to Chromecast directly through Guest Mode. This method does not require an active internet connection, allowing you to cast local media files stored on your device to your TV.

Using Chromecast with Mobile Hotspot

Another method of using Chromecast without WiFi is by using your device’s mobile hotspot feature. By turning your device into a mobile hotspot, you can connect your Chromecast to it and cast media from your device to your TV. Here’s how:

  1. Go to the settings on your phone and turn on the Mobile Hotspot feature. Set up a network name and password.
  2. Plug your Chromecast into your TV.
  3. On your TV screen, select the hotspot network you just created and input the password to connect your Chromecast to the hotspot.
  4. Open the Google Home app on your device and select the Chromecast device.
  5. Start casting from your device to your TV.

Please note that while the Mobile Hotspot method does not require WiFi, it will use your mobile data. So, keep an eye on your data usage when using this method.

Conclusion

While Google Chromecast is designed to work with WiFi, it is still useful in scenarios where WiFi is not available. By using Guest Mode or Mobile Hotspot, you can enjoy your favorite media content on a larger screen without an active internet connection.
