You can view your Instagram feed or watch videos on your Television using the screen mirroring method on your Chromecast. You may choose to use your Android device or Google Chrome browser on your PC to Chromecast Instagram to your TV. Make sure to follow the steps mentioned in the following methods properly.
Cast option is not available on Instagram so we have to use an alternative way to screen mirroring your android Phone to TV.
Method 1 - Chromecast Instagram Using Chrome Browser On Desktop
You may choose to use this method in case if your device’s battery is too weak or doesn’t support casting. Make sure to connect your Desktop and Chromecast device to the same Wifi network in order to begin the casting of your desktop screen.

- Select your Chromecast device and complete the pairing process to start casting.
Now you just have to log in to your Instagram account on your Google Browser to start viewing Instagram feeds and posts on your Television. You can also choose "Cast Desktop" if you want to cast your desktop rather than a particular tab.
Method 2 - Cast Instagram from Android Device
In order to cast your Android device to Television using Chromecast, you will have to download the “Google Home” App from Google Play Store. The application is developed by Google itself which is used to set up and to control or manage your Chromecast and other connected devices.
- Download and install the Google Home App from the Google Play Store on your device.
- While the installation is in process, plug in your chromecast device to the HDMI port of your TV.
- Connect your Android device and Chromecast to the same Wifi network.
- Launch the Google Home App on your Android and proceed to the menu options.
- Select the “Cast Screen/Audio” option to start the casting process on your Android device.

Your entire Android device will begin to mirror on your Television once the pair up process is completed. Simply Open the Instagram app to start viewing the images and videos on your Television. It seems easy, right? 😀
Note:- Make sure to Turn Off power saving mode on your Android device if you have it ON. Under the “Power Saving Mode,” your device will restrict the processing power which could affect the performance of the casting feature. It's recommended to turn on the “performance mode” if you have the option, in order to maximize the processing power.
