Google Cast devices will be automatically discovered if you enable [the discovery component]({{site_root}}/components/discovery.html).

Can also be forced to load by adding the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:

```
media_player:
  platform: chromecast
```

<p class='note warning'>
Chromecasts have recently received a new API which is not yet supported by Home Assistant. Therefore we currently can only detect them and do not know what they are up to.
