Here’s an easy way to cast your PC screen to your TV
Do you have a Chromecast device connected to your TV?
If so, you can easily “cast” the contents of your computer’s screen onto your TV’s screen with just a few mouse clicks if you’re using Google’s Chrome browser. Here’s how:
1 – Right-click on a blank area of the Chrome window and select Cast from the pop-up menu.
2 – Select the Chromecast-enabled device on which you’d like your browser window to appear.
3 – (Optional) Choose what you want to cast (i.e. just one browser tab, your PC’s entire Desktop, or a specific file) onto your target TV screen.
That’s all there is to it. You should now see the content you shared from your computer screen displayed on your TV’s screen.

Rick’s Daily Pick…
TP-Link Deco PX50 Powerline Mesh WiFi 6 System
Is your router outdated and it needs to be replaced with a faster and more secure model?
Does your home or office have WiFi dead spots in places where you really need to be able to access your network?
If the answer to at least one of these questions is yes, this three device mesh system would be an excellent solution. I’ve had mine for quite some time and I love it. No more worries about network security and no more dead spots!
