You need to add a new app to your Chromecast with Google TV device. You can install any available app directly from your home screen in just a few minutes.

  1. Use your remote to navigate over to the Apps section on your home screen [0:13].
  2. Select the search feature to look for the specific app you want to download [0:23].
  3. Choose the app from the results, select it, and click Install [0:33].
  4. Once the installation finishes, select Open to launch the app and sign in or subscribe as needed.

Ninja Tip: If you are having trouble finding a specific app, try using the Google Assistant button on your remote to voice search for the app name directly. This is often faster than typing it out on the on-screen keyboard.

If you encounter persistent installation errors, you can perform a factory reset by going to Settings > System > About > Factory reset.
