How does Chromecast work with video streaming?
If you send a video that is on the internet (not on your computer) to the Chromecast, it’ll take the link and stream the video itself. No lag, because your internet is fast enough for that and the Chromecast is doing the streaming directly.
The best solution when Chromecast is lagging while streaming videos is to play videos that are downloaded on your device. Adjust the video playback quality. Streaming HD videos on Chromecast would require more bandwidth for it to run smoothly. Some extra items to think about are: you can tweak your wifi signal, or switch to 5ghz connection (2nd gen and up only).
If the Chromecast stream is still choppy, stop all downloads. Where possible, download video to your device before streaming it to your TV with your Chromecast. Chromecast laggy still?
This begs the inquiry “Why does Chromecast have lag when playing a video?”
The lag is because the video is being transcoded by your computer on the fly and being displayed on your TV by the Chromecast; the Chromecast isn’t playing that video, your computer is. To speed it up you need a faster computer.
