Chromecast
Google's streaming stick
Chromecast is a small device that plugs into a television's HDMI port, allowing users to stream content from phones, tablets, or computers to the screen.
Made by Google, it works by "casting"—sending video, music, or other media wirelessly from an app to the TV: Just Chromecast it to the living room TV.
The name has become somewhat generic for similar streaming dongles.
