Once you sync your HBO Go account to your Chromecast and log in, you can watch your favorite HBO series like "Succession," "Insecure" and "Westworld" anytime.
You simply plug your Chromecast into your TV and sync it with the Google Home app using the same Wifi network. Once you have your hardware and app set up, watching is as simple as tapping the cast icon in the top right corner of the HBO Go app or your Chrome browser.
