Hey guys, today we are going to talk about How to Install Kodi on Chromecast. This guide is for Kodi addicted users who always love to watch or stream Kodi content. There is no possible direct way to connect Kodi to Chromecast but we have three different alternative methods to cast Kodi to Chromecast.
By using one of the three methods you can stream Kodi on the bigger platform. One more thing, you can not connect Kodi to Chromecast through iPhone device so if you are here for that then this is not for you.
We have two methods through the Android devices and one through PC or Mac. Here is it how
- Using Kodi in the background on your android device (Recommend Method)
- Using Chromecast app on your android device
- Using Chromecast app on your PC or Mac device
Your IP address right now is 18.116.23.158 and without VPN protection, you can be easily tracked by ISP, Hackers, App or Addon developers. This is why you should install a good VPN while streaming on Kodi to mask your identity and privacy.
I myself use ExpressVPN and it is a highly recommended VPN that you should have. It is fast, secure and easy to install on your device. If you do not enjoy the service of the VPN [It won’t happen], you can ask for a refund as there is a 30-day money-back guarantee. Get 49% Off + 3 Months Extra on ExpressVPN 1 Year plan.
