In recent years, the online platform has become one of the most famous platforms for entertainment. Google Chromecast is an electronic device that is used to cast your Smartphone or computer screen on your TV.  On the other hand, Sky Go is a service that allows you to watch Sky Go that has 70+ British and international entertainment, sports, movies, kids, news, documentary channels, along with tons of movies, such as your favorite Game of Thrones, TV shows, and catch-up episodes on-demand. You can stream Sky Go on your Mac, Windows, Android, Xbox, Playstation, iPad, and iPhone. If you are eager to stream on a large screen, you can also use Google Chromecast to cast Sky Go on your Smart TV.

However, unluckily, the service is only accessible to the citizens of New Zealand and Ireland which means you can’t enjoy your favorite documentaries on your holidays due to geo-restrictions and copy-right licensing issues.

So if you want to know how to connect to Sky Go through Chromecast, keep on reading!

How to Chromecast Sky Go – 3 Methods

As we know Sky Go is not well-suited to Chromecast, so we have to practice mirror methods to watch Sky Go on Chromecast. There are three methods by which you can cast Sky Go on your TV using Chromecast.

• Using a VPN

• Screen Mirror Sky Go using a Smartphone.

• Using Chrome from PC

Watch Sky Go through Chromecast Via VPN

Luckily, if you are in Europe, the US – or any other country outside of the UK and Ireland – and wish to access Sky Go, you can effortlessly do it with a reliable VPN. A Virtual Private Network, VPN encrypts your device’s internet traffic and routes it through an intermediate server in a location that you decide to pick. By connecting to a VPN server in the UK, you are assigned a UK IP address which gives you access to geo-locked content, including the Sky Go.

Here is how you can connect to Sky Go through Chromecast to VPN,

• First, sign up for one of the good quality VPNs

• Download and install the VPN software on your device or organize your router to use the VPN.

• Choose a server in the UK, and connect.

• Clear your cookies and refresh the page with the content you want to watch

• Enjoy the show!

Screen Mirror Sky Go Using a Smartphone
