Chromecast is a media streaming adapter produced by Google. The device, a 2-inch (5.1 cm) dongle, plugs into the HDMI port of an HDTV and streams audio/video content over Wi-Fi. The user can then play content on their TV from either the Google Chrome web browser on a personal computer or from a supported app on a mobile device. Apps that will be supported for Chromecast's release include YouTube, Netflix, Google Play Music, and Google Play Movies & TV. Chromecast will work across several platforms and operating systems, including Android, iOS, Chrome OS, and Google Chrome on Windows and OS X. The device was announced on July 24, 2013 and will retail for US$35.[1]
Software development kit
Google released a "Google Cast SDK" to allow developers to make their applications compatible with Chromecast.
