Hey folks, I’ve been trying to set up my Chromecast using my mobile hotspot because I don’t have a stable Wi-Fi connection at home right now. It seems like a great solution in theory, but I'm having some issues. Every time I try to use my iPhone as a hotspot, the Chromecast connects at first, but then the connection drops after a few minutes. It’s really frustrating! Has anyone else tried using a mobile hotspot with Chromecast? Any tips or settings adjustments that might help keep the connection stable?

I know exactly what you’re talking about! Using a mobile hotspot to connect Chromecast can be a bit hit or miss. One problem is that Chromecast is designed to work best with a stable Wi-Fi network, so it can be finicky with mobile hotspots, especially when they have limited bandwidth or are prone to fluctuations. One tip is to make sure your iPhone’s hotspot is set to the 2.4GHz band rather than the 5GHz, as it often provides a more stable connection for streaming devices.
Additionally, I’ve found that using a good screen mirroring app can also improve the experience. Sometimes, instead of relying directly on Chromecast’s native streaming functions, you can use the best screen mirroring app for iPhone to cast your screen more reliably. For instance, I came across this best screen mirroring app for iPhone that might be worth a try. It offers some robust features and seems to handle weaker connections better. It might solve your problem, especially when you want to mirror content rather than stream it directly through apps. Hope that helps!
