Hidden Tips and Tricks For Your GOOGLE CHROMECAST! -- Part 1

The new Google Chromecast with Google TV is an incredible streaming device, but there's so much more we can do with this new streamer from Google. We can take the device much further and get better and better results out of it. This is because it has the new Google TV (or the older Android TV) interface on it, and this means we can do great things!

Today I'm going to show you a number of things you can buy, and a number of things you can add to this device. Plus, I'll show you how to get the Google Play Store on the new Google Chromecast, and show you how to start loading on other apps. We'll start the sideloading process, but that will be saved for Part 2 of our hidden tips and #tricks or #hacks with the new #Google #Chromecast.
