This article explains how Chromecast history works, whether someone can see what you're watching after you've finished watching it, or whether other devices can see what you're currently watching. We'll also discuss how to keep your Chromecast viewing history as private as possible.

The Chromecast itself does not store any historical log or record of what has been played on the device. Simply put, there is no menu you can scroll through to view your viewing history on Chromecast.

You don’t have to worry about someone seeing what you were doing on your Chromecast after you’re done using it. For example, if you cast a video from your Chrome browser to your bedroom TV and then turn off the video and unplug it from your Chromecast, someone who uses your Chromecast after you won’t be able to see what you were watching.

It is important to remember though that depending on the device you used to cast, the history may be available on that device. If someone goes through your computer and looks at your Chrome history (assuming it hasn’t been cleared), it will be obvious what website you were visiting when you casted. Here are some tips to help you fix this.
