Chromecast with Google TV basically requires a TV with an HDMI port, a Wi-Fi network, a Google account, a power source, and a compatible mobile device to stream your favorite content seamlessly. Whereas previously it did require a streaming device individually that was a setback for the brand. But not anymore. Now, if you’re one of the users and cannot enable unknown sources in Chromecast with Google TV, you can follow this guide completely.
With the current generation of Chromecast with Google TV, you can simply start watching Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, etc right from your TV without any additional device. However, it seems that there are some apps still not available on the official Google Play Store app. In that scenario, you’ll have to sideload and install the required third-party app on the Chromecast with Google TV via an external site. So, enabling unknown sources is needed.

- Once installed, open the app > Open the File Manager app and try to install an APK.
- It’ll ask you for Allow Installation from Unknown Sources.
- Next, you’ll be able to enable the Unknown Sources option finally.
- You’re good to go.
