I love YouTube shorts, but it's such a bizarre miss that they don't work on Chromecast. I want to sit and watch them on my TV while I eat lunch, but Google physically prevents them from playing on Chromecast through the app. You instead need to cast your screen, which is an absolutely wild product choice.
I get it, the form factor is weird (aspect ratio), you either need user input or autopay, and latency isn't super low. But it seems absurd that it's simply not available at all.
YouTube, amazingly, has the absolute worst Chromecast integration of any app on my phone. Netflix, YouTube music, Amazon prime, Google tv: all work just fine. YouTube feels like theirs was outsourced and built with code samples by a junior dev.
