Chrome 51 gets Google Cast integration

[Ink]

Google Cast now integrated into Chrome's 51 Menu, mirrors to Hangouts in Chrome 52

The Chrome browser will have a new ‘Cast’ feature in the drop-down menu in Chrome 51, which is currently in beta.

As you can with the extension, Cast simply lets you cast your browser tab onto a TV or other Cast-enabled monitor. While the extension may no longer be needed, it’ll continue to work — and may be a more streamlined option if you cast often.

Interestingly, Google has also offloaded things like streaming rate and screen resolution to boilerplate functions. Instead of manicuring a good stream, you’ll soon just be streaming while Google Cast does the heavy lifting.

Cast will also be found in Chrome OS.​

Cannot find it Cast in Menu?

Chrome 51 is the stable release, but not all users are seeing the new Cast option in the drop-down menu. If you don’t find Cast as an option, give it time — Google tends to roll things out incrementally, stable or not.

Hangouts is also hit-and-miss on availability, but listed as an option for Chrome 52.​

One of my laptops has this feature, the other does not.

Of course Chrome is no longer just a simple browser but everything align from IoT (Internet of everything).

So expect a gradual change for any users to use it.
