In the past, this extension was the only way to cast from Chrome. It just provides a one-click toolbar icon you can click to access the “Cast” feature built into Chrome. You can always just right-click the current page or open the menu to access this feature–it just saves you a single click. The Google Cast extension is still available, however, it doesn’t do much. Your Chromecast will stream the video directly, so performance will be better and smoother than if you were mirroring a tab. The interface will also transform into a sort of remote control with playback controls for the video or audio you’re casting to your Chromecast. Check out our guide to setting up your Chromecast if you need help.Ĭasting from a supported website is different than casting a tab.

If you just purchased a Chromecast, you’ll first need to install the Google Home app on your phone or tablet and set it up before continuing. You can’t use another browser like Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge.
However, you do still have to use Google Chrome. This feature is now built into Google Chrome, so unlike the early days of the Chromecast, you don’t need the Google Cast extension to do this anymore.
