AutoCast needs to be setup in the App itself prior to use. This is so you can add your ChromeCast devices found on your network. Without doing this, AutoCast will not function correctly.

This allows you to add ChromeCast devices found on your WiFi. Use the **+** button to add. You can backup and restore here, too, using the button next to it.

==== Google Wavenet Key ====
