The stock power brick going through a USB-C hub just won’t cut it in my testing and neither will the 18W power brick Google includes with its Pixel phones. USB hubs work with Chromecast if there’s enough power. USB-C hubs for laptops, though, usually has passthrough power, so that should work on Chromecast, right? You can’t just go buy a USB-C to Ethernet adapter or a USB-C to USB adapter to add peripherals because there would be no power headed to the device. On the Chromecast, there’s technically not, but the biggest roadblock comes from power. In theory, there’s nothing that should stop a USB-C hub from working with an Android device. The good news? Chromecast works with USB hubs. To do that, you’ll need more ports, though. This time around, it’s running on an Android operating system that opens up just how far you can push the streamer. Google’s latest Chromecast isn’t as basic as its predecessors.
