(You need to use the Chrome browser, AND install the Chromecast extension.) And that’s even better, because the desktop computer on-site can then cast the video without me even being there. For the scrolling calendar/event schedule, I was able, in PowerPoint, to use File/Save As and save the file as a video file and upload that to YouTube (which works MAHVELOUSLY with Chromecast). Solution: After (as the graphic shows) a lot of trial and a shitload of error, I finally found a solution. to like your Google accounts, which I’m not comfortable with some unknown third-party app having access to.Īlso, I do have a Galaxy tablet, but still, the apps don’t really work that well to show PowerPoint presentations. Not really, and not without you having to hand over a shit-ton of log-in info, etc. Yes, there are some apps out there that supposedly work with PowerPoint and Chromecast. (The TV is mounted about 8 feet up on the wall.) (Plus, I’m the only one with Mac-flavored equipment.) Fortunately, the TV in question had a spare HDMI port, so I could leave the existing cable plugged in and accessible.
Instead of making them buy an Apple TV, it was easier for them to get a $35 Chromecast. However, it required me to be on-site to do it, and drag my $100 Apple TV puck there. (I also needed to use a PowerPoint presentation for teaching a class, which I manually advanced with a remote control clicker displayed from my laptop to the Apple TV puck.) There was a large TV on the wall at the facility, and an HDMI cable, so I would plug the Apple TV puck into that and go. Problem: I usually used my Apple TV puck to mirror the screen on my iPad to display a PowerPoint class/event schedule on repeat loop. Question: How do you make PowerPoint work with a Chromecast when you’re using a Mac computer/iPad?īetter answer: You can, but not the way you think.
