Wondering how to get Sky Go working on a Chromebook? Here’s how to – no HDMI cable required!

Google Chromecast is an electronic device that is used to cast your Smartphone or computer screen on your TV. Sky Go is an application that allows you to stream live sports, news, movies and much more. Sky Go is only available in the United Kingdom and was launched in January 2006. Chromecast Sky Go is the newest component that the company added to its service to be able to accommodate more requests from its customers. This method works with both iPhone and Android. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to cast Sky Go to Chromecast. Here’s one idea you can try to cast Sky Go to Chromecast or TV: Ensure that you have the latest version of Google Chrome installed on your computer. On Chrome browser window, click the three dots in the right-hand corner, which should show a dropdown and select “cast”. You should see a tab with the available casting devices list.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sky officially offers its streaming app named “TV from Sky” for the PS4. Although it’s not the same app as Sky Go, TV from Sky shares the same content library.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to watch Sky Go on TV using a PlayStation 4:

• If you have the Sky Q box, you can skip this step. Else, contact Sky (0330 041 3000) and add the Sky Go Extra (£5+) add-on to your existing Sky TV subscription. You will need it to get the “TV from Sky” app activated on your PS4.
• Next, go to the PlayStation Store and download the “TV from Sky” app on PS4.

• Launch “TV from Sky” from the TV & Video section of the PS4 home screen.
• Click the Sign In option on the welcome page, then enter your Sky ID and password.

Once you are logged in to the “TV from Sky” app, you will be able to watch almost all the live TV channels included in your Sky TV subscription, as well as stream catch-ups, movies, and TV box sets from Sky’s on-demand library.

Watch Sky Go on TV Using an Xbox One

The “TV from Sky” (Sky Go alternative) app is also available for the Xbox One game console. If you have one lying around, you can use it to watch Sky channels and on-demand box sets on your TV. Just do the following:

• First, Go to the Store from the Xbox One dashboard and search for the “TV from Sky” app, and download it.
• Now launch “TV from Sky” from the My games and apps section on your Xbox One.
• Enter your Sky ID and password, then click Submit. You should get logged in to the app.

Upon successful login, you can watch the same live TV channels and on-demand content from the “TV from Sky” app, as you would find in Sky Go’s streaming library. Note that you will have to pay for the Sky Go Extra add-on, similar to what we need for “TV from Sky” to work on PlayStation 4.

Can I Get Sky Go on Android Box / TV?

Unfortunately, there’s no official Sky Go app for Android TV, Fire TV, or Apple TV devices. You can only get the Sky Go mobile app on Android and iOS smartphones/tablets from their respective app stores.

Although many websites claim to have the Sky Go mobile app working on Android TV and Fire TV devices, it’s completely false and misleading.

Google Chromecast Sky Go Ipad

While it’s possible to sideload the Sky Go APK file on Android TV and Fire TV, it will simply crash or show you an error message when you try to get past the login screen.

Also, a lot of sites trick users into installing a “modded” version of the Sky Go app that apparently works on Android TV and Fire TV devices.

However, most of these modified APK files are injected with malicious code that is meant to collect your sensitive information and slow down your device. We recommend you to avoid installing untrusted APK files from such websites.
