What speed should I have for my device and Cloud to get the best casting experience using Chromecast?

- You need 4Mbps from DEVICE for ED480p videos (enhanced definition)
- You need 12Mbps from DEVICE for HD720p videos
- You need 22Mbps from DEVICE for HD1080p videos

For movie casting from your device or PC:
- You need 2Mbps for lower quality video

For any video casting from Cloud:
