Chromecast with Google TV: first 2024 update

Good news for Chromecast users with Google TV. The search giant has released the first update of 2024 for the media player, it writes. This is an update with version number STTL.231114.004, which you can now download and install. The update is 148MB in size and only available for the Chromecast with Google TV (4K).

The Chromecast with Google TV (HD) will have to wait a while for the update. Unfortunately, the latest software does not contain any new features, but it does include the Android security patch of December 2023. This means that the security of the Chromecast is as good as up to date. Installing updates is quite simple; simply follow the step-by-step plan below.

  1. On your Chromecast with Google TV, go to your profile photo at the top right and then choose ‘Settings’;
  2. Navigate to ‘System > About > System Update’;
  3. Your Chromecast will now check if updates are available;
  4. Download and install the latest version.

As mentioned, no exciting features are being added to the Chromecast with Google TV. The update only contains a few bug fixes and performance improvements, which should make the device work a little better. Google often releases these types of updates for the Chromecast.

The media player still runs on Android 12 and will soon have new functions. Google recently announced that TikTok is coming to the Chromecast and it will be easier to connect Bluetooth devices to the HDMI dongle.

In the Netherlands you can choose from two Chromecasts with Google TV. The big difference is in the image quality. The more expensive version, which costs 70 euros, can display films and series in 4K quality on your television. The Chromecast with Google TV (HD) has been available since 2022 and costs 40 euros.
