Hold on, how do you let 80% of people to control Chromecast? If anything's it's not controllable by anyone by default because nobody happens to lug around a laptop with a pre-installed chrome extension. I haven't used Android for a while, but on my last Nexus phone Chromecast wasn't useful for anything other than Youtube.

- mcpherrinm 10y agoAndroid + Chromecast integration is really great. You can get automatic playback controls if you're on the same wifi or in near proximity. Everything I use for media support Chromecast on both iOS and Android (Spotify, Pocket Casts, Netflix, Youtube, etc) Chrome supports to videos in websites. I'd say most times I go to see if an android app has Chromecast support, it does. I'm not sure how much that's true of iOS apps. I'd guess it's less. Google home integration is really nice too. I can tell Google home to play something on the Chromecast. I've worked in places with Macs + Apple TVs in conference rooms, and Airplay was definitely more annoying than Chromecasting.

- Godel_unicode 10y agoFwiw, all the major apps which have Chromecast support on Android also have it on iOS as well.
