How Many Apps Does Chromecast Have?

Published in Technology 1 min read

Chromecast doesn't have its own apps in the traditional sense. Instead, it relies on apps from your smartphone, tablet, or computer to stream content to your TV.

Here's how it works:

  • You use a compatible app on your device (like Netflix, YouTube, or Spotify).
  • You choose the content you want to watch or listen to.
  • You cast that content to your Chromecast-connected TV.

So, the number of "apps" Chromecast has is dependent on the apps available on your device and compatible with Chromecast.

There are thousands of apps that work with Chromecast, offering a wide range of content, including:

  • Streaming services: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, etc.
  • Music streaming services: Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc.
  • Video games: Google Stadia, PlayStation Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, etc.
  • Photo and video sharing: Google Photos, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
  • Productivity apps: Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, etc.

You can find a list of Chromecast-compatible apps on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
