Default Streaming from Android tablet to smart tv

Feel so far behind times. Trying to get my videos on tablet to TV. Went into Best Buy and the young one sole me a Chromecast streaming device. Told me it was easy. Sell after many attempts managed to get video on TV screen but now can't figure out how to get back to regular TV. Very confusing?? Anyone familiar with this procedure??

You probably had to change your source on your tv controller. You need to change it (back probably HDMI 1 or 2).

No1 use your tv remote to get to the html input you have installed the broadcast device i-B to. A picture should pop up.
No 2. Your search engine should be Google Chrome. You can download it for free
No 3. When you open Google Chrome in the upper fight corner is three dots. Click on them
No 4. About half way do we s. "cast" Click on it
No5 A drop down box should pop up on the screen with the number of your device. Click on cast
6.

If you have trouble call the Google help line. They will walk you through it.

Returning Chromecast today. Have no idea how to operate. Where in the world are we supposed to learn all this today. After a week of trying, almost there, just couldn't get back to regular TV without pulling out TV, removing device and cannot do that constantly. Soo frustrating

Too bad you're returning it. I've used one for years. PM me, maybe I can help you.
