A Chromebook is a great alternative to a regular laptop and they often come at much more reasonable prices. Light, compact and easy to transport, the Chromebook is a great device for anyone on the move.

Sky Go is a fantastic app which provides Sky TV customers the ability to watch all their favourite shows on the move. Multiple devices can also be in use under the same roof – that way everyone’s happy.

So, here’s a look at whether it’s possible to get Sky Go working on a Chromebook.

Does Sky Go work with HDMI cables?

Unfortunately, Sky Go subscribers can’t plug an HDMI cable into a laptop or mobile device and hook it up to a bigger screen.

Sky Go Chromecast workaround. Firstly, open the Sky Go app on your desktop computer – whether that’s an Apple Mac or a Microsoft PC. Ensure that Google Chrome is installed on your computer and that the Sky Go launcher is up to date. Now, to cast to a Chromecast pick something to watch on your Sky Go via the app. Sky Go is available on Chromecast, but only on Chromecast Ultra and Chromecast 3rd Generation. Since Sky Go doesn’t support casting from a browser currently, you’ll need to install the latest. First, go to google.com/chrome and download Google Chrome on your PC if you don’t already have it. After that, open a browser tab in Chrome and visit to download the Sky Go desktop app. Once you install it, launch the Sky Go app and sign in with your Sky ID and password. Can someone explain to me what the difference is between using the Sky Go app on my playstation to watch on a TV and casting the Sky Go app from my phone to the Chromecast? Why is one okay, but the other poses a DRM risk? I can bring my playstation to my friend's house we can sit and watch my channels on the ps4 Sky Go app.

This is similar to the fact that when watching Sky Go, viewers are unable to take screenshots of a show. Overall, it seems that unless the Sky Go app is installed on the device screen you’re watching, you can’t view the content.

Sky Go Chromebook HDMI

Thankfully, for anyone with Sky Go and a Chromebook, things are quite straightforward.

The Chromebook is compatible with apps from the Google Play Store. So, head to the Google Play Store to download the Sky Go app. Once installed, log into your Sky Go account and you should be able to watch Sky Go content without a hitch.

The only downside is that an HDMI cable cannot be plugged into the Chromebook to watch on a bigger screen.

Go Chromecast Apps

What about Sky Go and a Google Chromecast?

Based on the fact that Sky Go is incompatible with HDMI cables and doesn’t allow screenshotting, many would assume that the app wouldn’t work with casting devices, either. But, there is a workaround for Chromecast users.

1. Firstly, open the Sky Go app on your computer.
2. Ensure that Google Chrome is installed on your computer and that the Sky Go launcher is up to date.
3. To cast to a Chromecast, pick something to watch on your Sky Go via the app.
4. Open Google Chrome and select the ‘Google Cast’ option (this is in the top right-hand corner of the browser page) which should show a drop-down of the available devices in your home.
5. Select the option under ‘sources’ to cast the ‘entire desktop’ which is the option to go for rather than just casting your current tab.

Which other devices can I watch Sky Go on?

Sky Go is a great app which comes along with any Sky TV subscription package. The app can be downloaded on both iOS and Android mobile devices.

Bigger devices such as an Android TV support the Sky Go app as well as laptops, PCs and Chromebooks.

The main issue that Sky Go customers have had is getting the content onto a bigger screen. Without HDMI capabilities, for now, viewers will have to watch on smaller screens.

Alternatively, see our guide on getting Sky Go up and running on an Amazon Fire TV Stick. With a Firestick, Sky subscribers can enjoy content on the big screen.

You sure can. Sky Go supports Airplay from your iPhone, iPad or the browser extension on your Mac. At this stage Sky Go will only be supporting airplay to Apple TV HD - 4th Gen and Apple TV 4K - the latest Gen.

• Make sure your Apple TV & device are on the same wireless network
• Go to your TV and select the source your Apple TV is plugged into
• Select a show/movie on your Sky Go app and press play
• Press the Airplay icon in the bottom right of the Sky Go video controls.

Whatever you chose to play should now be on the big screen!

Sky Go Chromecast Ipad App

To get Sky Go on your big screen via Chromecast support, you'll need to open the latest Sky Go app on your iPad or iPhone and make sure you have a Chromecast which is Generation 3 or Ultra.

At the top right of the app, you'll see the Chromecast icon which looks like a little TV. Select the icon. If you aren't already, you'll be prompted to connect to your Chromecast. Once connected, choose the TV show or movie you want to watch, press play and you should see Sky Go on your big screen!
