Profiles arrive on Chromecast with Google TV, what are they for?
An update for the media player has started to roll out Chromecast with Google TV. Apart from the usual improvements in stability and speed, a new function has been added that is perfect to improve the use by all members of the family: the creation of personal profiles.
This feature, highly anticipated by users due to the way it allows you to customize the device, is now a reality. In the event that you do not have the corresponding update, the normal thing is that if you carry out a search manually -and as long as you have access to the Internet-, the new version is detected and it is installed. We recommend that you do this, as you will not encounter any performance issues.
An improvement that is quite positive in Chromecast
Something you should be clear about is that only the model that has the google tv operating system I was able to use the option to use profiles. Earlier versions of the player do not have the ability to take advantage of this feature. The fact is that this function, which was announced last year, finally has a wide enough deployment to be a new function in its own right in the accessory we are talking about.
The benefits of having this new option in Chromecasts are quite interesting. To begin with, each member of the family can have one, which means that content is received as content is consumed. recommendations personalized. But, in addition, you can configure the Interface of user so that it is adapted to the tastes of each user, both in visualization and in the applications that are highlighted.
Even the follow-up lists become more useful for each person or the possibilities of recommendation in the searches they are exactly the ones you need, not the one with a hodgepodge of information on every person in the house.
Creating profiles is very easy
This is something that Google has worked on excellently, since you simply have to access the initial screen of the Chromecast and access the image of the profile that is open. At that moment, you will see that there is an icon with the “+” symbol, which is the one you must use to create a new one. Come on, easier, impossible.
From that moment, when the player starts or directly from the initial screen of the user interface, it will be possible to access the new profile in the Google TV operating system. Therefore, simply using the remote control you can get this. A good option that, for sure, you use constantly in case you try it.
