Chromecast  is a streaming device that plugs into the HDMI port on your TV which was developed by Google. Designed as small dongles, the devices play audio/video content on a high-definition television or home audio system by directly streaming it via Wi-Fi from the Internet or a local network. Users select the media to play using mobile apps and web apps that support the Google Cast technology. Alternatively, content can be mirrored from the Google Chrome web browser running on a personal computer, as well as from the screen of some Android devices.

The 1st generation of chromecast(a video streaming device) was released on July 24,2016. Later Google release the Google Cast SDK, Google cast SDK allows some of the third parties to modify their software to work with Chromecast.

The 2nd generation Chromecast and an audio-only model called Chromecast Audio were released in September 2015.
