Included with the device is an HDMI extension cable that is also about 3 inches long. The Chromecast is a small, 3-inch-long dongle that connects directly into an HDMI port on your TV. Unique in its approach to streaming media, the Chromecast dongle can stream from a Chrome Web browser (PC or Mac) and from certain apps on iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets. At $35, it’s the least expensive way to stream movies and music to your TV and view photos from online.
