How to Change Chromecast Device Name

If you're looking to modify the name of your Chromecast device, there are a few ways to do so. Depending on your setup, you may be able to change the name in Airfoil Satellite or through Apple's Home app.

By default, Airfoil Satellite sets its speaker name to the name of the device it's running on. To change this name, you'll need to access Airfoil Satellite's preferences. You can do this from the menu bar icon or the Airfoil Satellite menu.

Once you've accessed the preferences, select your AirPort Express from the network map and click or tap the Edit button. From there, you can change the AirPlay Speaker Name option and update the settings.

Alternatively, if you have an Apple TV, you can change the name in the Settings application. Simply open the app, change the name as desired, and select Done.

It's worth noting that many speakers allow you to customize their names, so you can choose a name that suits your preferences. The name shown for an output device in Airfoil is set by the remote speaker itself.

In conclusion, changing the name of your Chromecast device is a straightforward process that can be completed through Airfoil Satellite or Apple's Home app. By following these steps, you'll be able to customize the name of your device to suit your needs.
