Google Chromecast
Budget-friendly, 4K HDR-capable, and Google-integrated. Signage without the hardware investment.
Why it works.
Google Chromecast with Google TV is the value-tier digital signage player — under £70, capable of 4K HDR, and running Chrome for full web-based content delivery. It's an ideal choice when cost per screen is the primary constraint and you need reliable, remotely managed displays.
Chromecast with Google TV runs Android under the hood, which means Android Enterprise device management works across your fleet. For larger managed deployments, set devices into kiosk mode via Google's Zero-Touch Enrollment and they'll self-provision from the moment they're plugged in.
Simple by design.
Google TV's familiar interface means minimal setup time per device.
Complete Google TV setup
Plug Chromecast into HDMI, power via USB-C, and follow the Google TV on-screen setup using the Google Home app on your phone.

Navigate to your display
Open Chrome, navigate to your Hangar.Media display URL, and sign in. Your screen is now showing live content from the platform.
Configure auto-launch
For managed deployments, enable Android Enterprise kiosk mode via your MDM console. For simple setups, use a launcher app to auto-open Chrome to your display URL on every boot.
