You can use VidAngel with your Chromecast by casting to it from our iOS or Android mobile app. 

Before starting the casting process, make sure you have the most updated version of our app on your mobile device and that your mobile device is on the same WIFI as your Chromecast, (see Cast to your TV from the mobile app).
