Chromecast devices?

["Jones, Joshua" <joshua.jones () UND EDU>]

Chromecast a cheap device that plugs into your TV and allow you to stream content from your computer or mobile device 
to your TV.  We have students who have purchased these devices.

My concern is that as soon as you plug a Chromecast device into your TV, anyone who has the Chromecast software (free 
download) can play content on your TV (even harassing content or porn).  There is no security unlike AppleTV that could 
require a Passcode or Password, when you download Chromecast software it shows you a list of Chromecast devices that 
are on the network and you select the one you want, no confirmation is needed on the TV.

Has anyone else ran into these issues in Residence Halls or other buildings on Campus?  How do you handle devices like 
these on your network?

Cordially,

Josh
