The other day I was too excited to watch the last episode of a trending Prime series, but then my phone’s Wi-fi connectivity interrupted my streaming. It was so irritating. My sibling sitting in the same room recommended that I should connect my smartphone to the LED screen through Google Chromecast. Though being a non-technical person, I could not comprehend what he intended to say. After researching online, I acquainted myself with this advanced technology.
