Yes, it has a mini-app to connect to YouTube. I have not actually tried it, but it has an icon just like Amazon Prime, NetFlix, Hulu, Rhapsody, etc.

If you have wifi in your house, it is fairly easy to follow the setup and connect to your home network. The tv then has some apps that are ready to go (YouTube, Facebook, Skype, etc.). As I mentioned in a previous review, no browser so you can't just go to any website you want, only what the apps allow.

Yes, absolutely. The chromebook can access any website, including those that stream video.

YouTube works like it always has... HD is fine, WiFi question has to many variables to answer.

I haven't tried this but as long as your PC is setup for video sharing, it should work. I can see my home network when setting up the dongle.

Yes. There is an APP for Youtube pre-installed and the Netflix App (among many others) works beautifully. The microHDMI port also allows you connect the Thrive to a compatible monitor or television to watch the items there. WiFi connection is necessary.

If it does - I haven't figured out how to use it - mine is hooked up to internet, though and gets Netflix, Amazon videos, You Tube, etc. ....

Hi, John. If your TV has an ethernet or Wi-Fi capability, it should be able to connect to the internet.

This device only converts HDMI to VGA, so if your wireless adapter has an HDMI output, yes. This device does not receive wireless signals.

Yes, it will. I have set one up for friend that is riding on neighbors signal and she is over 120 feet away from router. No issues watching youtube, netflix with this device.

If you're looking for a device that can stream videos wirelessly from your laptop/PC and the Internet (i.e. Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus, YouTube, etc), consider the Sony SMP-N200. It has pretty good reviews here and is selling on 1saleaday for only 34.95 with FREE s/h. http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SMP-N200-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B005MR6CNK/ref=cm_rdp_product http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-Smart-TV-Network-Media-Player-w-Android-1080p-WiFi-HDMI-Stream-Content-/200813014130

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably.I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem.I hope this helpsHarold

Check the specifications of your TV on internet. If it is graded as "wifi ready" it most probably can support it.

You can use the internet browser on your tv to get to you tube and then bookmark the site. I am able to reach you tube with no problems by following those steps.

You will need wifi and one of those stick gizmos for the hdmi input to 'hear' your videos etc.

No. and that's one reason it works so well. It's setup to dump the video directly to their web site..All you have to do is to tell it how to log into your wifi..You could for example take it to a hotel and use it to monitor your room, if the hotel had wifi.
