Dazn is a very interesting online sports platform, and now we will explain how to watch all its content on Chromecast , so that you can enjoy the broadcasts comfortably on the TV.
The Chromecast is an HDMI stick, a device that makes traditional televisions smart at an affordable cost . It connects to one of the ports of the TV, and accesses the Internet via WiFi, with which we can use streaming services such as Dazn, Netflix, HBO, Movistar + and many others.
Thanks to the Chromecast it will be possible to watch Dazn’s sport on home television, so we are going to know the steps to do so:
Check the Chromecast settings
We may already have the Chromecast installed on the TV, in which case we won’t need to make any changes. But if we just bought it, or haven’t used it in a while, we’ll go over a couple of basics:
- First of all, you have to configure the Chromecast , using its app for Android and iOS.
- We will check that the Chromecast is connected to an HDMI port on the TV, and that it receives power , either from its charger or from a USB port on the TV.
- The Chromecast must use the same WiFi network as the mobile from which we are going to see Dazn, otherwise we will not get the icon to play it.
- We must put the HDMI channel where we have connected the Chromecast, manufacturers usually call that button on the remote control as “Input”, “AV” or “Source” , and many times it is at the top:
If all the above points are correct, the Chromecast can now be used to watch Dazn. In fact, the previous steps are the most complicated, since managing the application is simple
Dazn on the Chromecast using a mobile
Dazn can be used on Android phones and tablets , as well as iPhone and iPad . If the screens of these devices seem too small, from the application itself it is easy to send the video to the TV using the Chromecast. As a first step, we will download the app we need:
- Download Dazn for Android
- Download Dazn for iPhone / iPad
– If we are already subscribed to Dazn, we will click on “Login” to enter with our email and password, otherwise we will choose “Register now” to sign up:
- It asks us to choose the subscription we prefer when the trial month ends, monthly or annual payment . The prices of 9.99 euros and 99.99 euros of the capture may vary in the future, especially if Dazn added some additional content (such as football) in future seasons:
- The personal data requested are few, only name with surname, email and password. We recommend unchecking the box for sending advertising (it should be unchecked by default), unless we are very interested in Dazn news:
- To access the trial month, you must provide your payment information , and they will begin to charge us when the 31 days have passed if we do not request the cancellation before:
- By clicking on the “G Pay” icon we can choose the payment method , which will always be processed by Google. Accepts credit / debit cards, mobile billing, PaySafeCard and PayPal prepaid cards:
- After these steps, we are greeted by the Dazn app , which is quite complete, with a tab for highlighted content, another with the schedule and a third to search for sports. It even allows us to put reminders of future events that interest us:
- If the Chromecast is turned on and on the same WiFi network as the device with the Dazn app, the Google Cast icon will appear in the upper right :
- The icon is a rectangle with semicircles in one corner, here you can see it larger:
- A menu will ask us to choose the Chromecast in which we are going to see Dazn, possibly it has the name of a room in the house, because it is the one suggested by the configuration:
- If the TV is on the Chromecast channel, we will see on the screen the message “Ready to cast” and the Dazn logo:
- Now it only remains to choose the match, race, combat or any other Dazn content, which will begin to play on the TV.
- At the top of the app we can see a small playback control , which allows you to pause the video, go back 30 seconds or fast-forward it (if it is not live):
Some Dazn restrictions on Chromecast
Support for viewing Dazn on Google’s HDMI stick is appreciated, but there are some details to improve.
First of all, only Android and iOS apps let us send video to the Chromecast, the Chrome web browser from a computer is not supported . Also, TVs that support Google Cast are also not working at the moment.
We cannot say that they are serious problems, but some users will find them annoying, and other online platforms do not suffer from these limitations.
Finally, Dazn only allows 5 registered devices, if we log in to a new mobile, tablet or computer, we must delete an old one. Dazn lets us see the content on 2 different devices at the same time , so it would be possible to share the monthly fee with another trusted person.
Following these steps, it is easy to see Dazn on your Chromecast , although it also supports other systems, such as Android TV, Amazon Fire Stick TV, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and certain smart TVs, so we have a lot to choose from.
