Chromecast setup without any router; using only single mobile phone 

Update 1 day later. It appears the share app is using network name DIRECT. The previous owner till recently had Direct as her network provider. Could this be why I am not completing the process? This has given me a headache stressing why others are successful and not me. Please help!

How

As long as the TV has an HDMI port you are good to go.

If you have a smart tv you don't need chromecast; cast directly to the tv. You got to have a smart phone before you try anything. Your phone must have "smart view, mirror screen, or screen cast." If your phone does not have one of these, nothing will help you except roku on hot spot.

Kamisa ima try it and let u know.

@@suzibelk9838 Thank you.

He's using wifi tethering from his phone, the app he got just enables this capability, making his phone a mobile hotspot, or essentially his phone becomes a router without wires. This capability, mobile hotspot, is a service you must pay for from whomever your phone service is from, a lot of plans include it. You need to check if yours includes it. All these RU-vid videos about this matter are titled incorrectly so they will get views. They are very misleading

nick constantino holy oh my god your the comment I’ve been looking for thank youuu

@@suzibelk9838 you didn't let us know

Everytime for me even if using router and wifi.

That's what I was wondering. I just got a chromecast today and this method did not work. The results said, third party something; may require a password, like you would find in a dorm room or hotel. Oh that's right it does require a password. I totally firgot. Thanks for your help.

@@BADALICE Did this process end up working for you? I'm trying to figure out if he definitely did this without any home wifi. I guess that app was the source of his wifi? I see so many misleading video's, so it's hard to believe. I don't want to waste money on Chromecast if it doesn't work.

@@kamisa7362 lol. I bought a chromecast, it's just collecting dust. It was easier to buy a phone with smart view. I got the samsung A50. I don't need my roku or chromecast. Save yourself the trouble. Where I live I have to pay business rate for internet, and 3 yrs contract. PS I forgot to mention I'm using a samsung tv, also with smart view. I am casting directly to the tv. The roku has smart view, screen mirror, I have tried casting to the roku and no success. It requires all devices be on the same network with internet connection, same as the chromecast. If your phone does not have screen mirror or smart view, just forget it. If your phone does not have smart view buy the roku, at least you can use the hot spot on your phone to watch tv. I love the roku it works great. You can go about 3 or 4 days on 8 gigs of data. You can stretch it out if you fast forward and skip ads. Pause when you leave the room. I got unlimited data now.

@@BADALICE lol.. Well there you go.. Thank you for replying and saving me the trouble.
