Power on your television, and using the remote, set the input source to match the HDMI port where you inserted the Chromecast.

4. Connect your iOS device to a Wi-Fi network:

Ensure that both your iOS device and Chromecast are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If not already connected, go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iOS device and select your Wi-Fi network.
