Limitations on the Google Player: 

As of right now, there are a few limitations. These are the following:

1. Google TV Stick HD (Chromecast white color) - If you wish to show content such as images, slides, weather, and time, then going for this is a good option but if you want to display videos too then Google TV Stick 4k is the way to go.   

2. Google TV Stick 4K (Chromecast white color) - We recommend going for this if you wish to display content such as videos, gifs, live feeds, YouTube videos, images, slides, weather, and time.
