In other words, smart TVs and other streaming devices are only going to get more popular.

In addition to covering that, this article presents some of the different ways to get the best performance possible when using Chromecast for Mac.

Once thats all done you can start having some fun with the device.

This is a far cry from setting up using a computer, something thats now no longer possible, which used to involve downloading a Chromecast extension for Mac and entering codes to pair the device properly.

In the past you needed to download a Chromecast extension for Chrome before you could do this but now, as long as youre using an up-to-date version of Chrome, you dont need to add anything else in order to use Chromecast on MacBook.

Unfortunately, many of us arent quite so blessed and do experience a few problems.

Most problems like these boil down to one (or more) of three causes.

Try using an app like CleanMyMac X, which scans your Mac with a single click to search for issues with your hard disk, malware, and unnecessary apps.

For this, WiFi Explorer is a useful app that acts as a one-stop shop for monitoring, analyzing, and troubleshooting your WiFi network.

Just open up the app and itll automatically provide feedback on the network your Mac is currently connected to.

If thats the case, you may want to try a wired connection or moving your router from its current location.

Unless you have a soundbar, most flat screen TVs put out quiet and tinny audio.

In some cases, you may be better off using headphones or even your Macs built-in speakers.

Luckily, theres an app out there called Boom 3D that allows you to unlock the true potential of your Macs audio output.
