I’ve been trying to connect my Chromecast to the internet using my mobile hotspot, but it’s been a bit of a struggle. I’ve managed to get it working a couple of times, but it often disconnects or doesn't find the hotspot at all. I’ve got a strong cellular signal, so I don't think it's a network issue. Maybe there’s something I'm missing? Have any of you tried this method successfully? Are there specific settings or tricks that make it work better? Any advice or guidance would be appreciated because it’s really frustrating when it fails in the middle of a movie night!

I totally get your frustration! Using a mobile hotspot with Chromecast can be tricky, especially when it comes to maintaining a stable connection. I’ve experimented with this setup quite a bit. One thing I’ve found is that it helps to ensure that both your iPhone’s hotspot and the Chromecast are using the same frequency band (either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). This often reduces the chance of disconnections. Additionally, I noticed that the quality of the screen mirroring app you're using can also impact the experience significantly.
For instance, if you're looking for the best screen mirroring app for iPhone to use with your Chromecast, I'd suggest checking out this guide. It covers some of the top apps like JustStream and ApowerMirror, which have features specifically designed to work well even with mobile hotspots. I’ve had better luck using JustStream when casting photos or videos, as it seems to handle weak connections better than other apps. Plus, it offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to switch between different media. You might want to give it a shot if you haven’t already!
