I think can, whatever play in your Chrome Browser will mirror in your TV.

Anyway check this out

Overall a nice device, worth supporting since its relatively cheap
35usd approximately rm 110

But it's not for sale here. If go through garage sales seller,
Price become rm 200 then really not worth it consider its limited function.

Too bad, have to pass on this one.

eBay even worst, look at the delivery fee,
Almost double up the already doubled price to 300+

I might as well walk in to any apple store and buy the Apple TV instantly for rm349 doh.gif

Things from eBay need to wait one month to arrive...

never buy a product base on the 'potential' it has, or a promise for bug fix and update.

invest in something that already proven to work. laugh.gif

i am wondering if it can stream google+,
i have tons of photos that i wish to share on the big screen with my family.

use Chrome browser to open google+ website, problem solve? as Chrome confirm work with chromecast.

i was excited when knowing about this little device. But, the "throwing" function is similar with youtube leanback which i'm currently use, the only advantage is you can throw any multimedia content from chrome browser.

Been searching for reviews.
This is the best I've seen.
Awesome video, very detail explanation and even got Q&A session at the back which answer most FAQ

At the end of video got a trick to make it stream local content from your laptop also.
I feel like getting one.

Everything works as advertised.

One trick is to load the .mp4 into chrome and then share the tab to the chromecast.

Add yourself to this list if interested to get one

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2903393

Item is 35usd about rm 110

But delivery from US and profit for the seller for rm 60

170 suddenly feels like an ok price.

Mirroring the desktop is still in beta. Quite choppy. But yea, I believe it will get better.

But I think I saw a post / link somewhere that says Chromecast can run on Ubuntu.
