+4. Choose how you want to pair your device with your large screen device. ![Pairing options](../../public/cast/web-pairing-options.webp)
+
+On Chromium browsers, you will see a button labeled "Auto Pair". This option will prompt you to select a Chromecast supported device on your local network. Note: this option requires connecting to Google servers to load necessary dependencies. This option does not transmit any sensitive data through Google servers, such as your photos. Once your Chromecast device is connected, you're all set.
+
+On all browsers, you'll see the option to "Pair with PIN". This option works with all devices, Chromecast-enabled or not. You'll be required to load up [cast.ente.io](https://cast.ente.io) on your large screen device.
+
+5. Enter the PIN displayed on your large screen device into the input field on your mobile or web device.
+
+On your large screen device, you'll see the following screen. ![Pairing screen](../../public/cast/tv-pairing-screen.webp)
+
+6. If you entered your PIN correctly, you'll see a screen on your TV with a green checkmark confirming the connection.
