How to install Control Chromecast

  2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
  3. Search for chromecast-control and click Install.
  4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Control Chromecast with a single command:

How to use Control Chromecast

Once installed, Control Chromecast activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

  1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab chromecast-control-1.0.0.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
  2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/chromecast-control/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
