> For example, I can't cast YouTube to it, because it doesn't support video. But what if want everyone in the room to hear what I'm playing and the video is irrelevant? I'd imagine that's for the same reason why you can't "listen" to a video on mobile with the app in the background: it would qualify as a music stream, and YT doesn't have the rights to stream music in an ad-based model.

  Exactly, they probably don't have a license for ad-based audio streaming, only subscription-based.

    Could be, or they're just using it to differentiate the offerings.

You can cast YouTube to it via vlc or what I usually do is YouTube-dL and plex. But yeah. Not directly.
