How do I cast Amazon Prime to my TV with Chromecast?

Answered by James Kissner

To cast Amazon Prime Video to your TV using Chromecast, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have the Prime Video app installed on your device. If not, download it from your device’s app store and sign in with your Amazon account.

2. Ensure that your Chromecast device is properly set up and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your device running the Prime Video app.

3. Open the Prime Video app on your device. You’ll find it in your app drawer or home screen. Sign in if prompted.

4. Look for the Cast icon, which resembles a rectangle with a Wi-Fi symbol in the bottom left or right corner of the app’s interface. It’s usually located near the playback controls or in the top right corner. Tap on it.

5. A list of available casting devices will appear. Choose your Chromecast device from the list.

6. Once you’ve selected your Chromecast device, the app will establish a connection to it. You may see a loading screen or a message confirming the connection.

7. Now, you can browse through the Prime Video library on your device. Find the title you want to watch and select it.

8. The selected video will start playing on your device, and you’ll see the playback controls on the screen. At the same time, it will also start playing on your TV through Chromecast.

9. You can control playback on your TV by using the playback controls on your device. You can pause, play, rewind, fast forward, and adjust the volume directly from the Prime Video app.

10. When you’re done watching, you can stop casting by tapping the Cast icon again and selecting “Stop Casting” or by simply closing the Prime Video app.

It’s worth mentioning that while casting, you can use your device for other tasks without interrupting the playback on your TV. You can also cast videos from other streaming apps or websites, as long as they support Chromecast.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you cast Amazon Prime Video to your TV using Chromecast. Enjoy your streaming experience!
