‘Google Cast’ is replacing the ‘Chromecast built-in’ brand
fedilink
At I/O 2024, "Chromecast built-in" was quietly rebranded to "Google Cast." Notably, this is reversing a branding change made in 2016...

Well, at least they aren’t outright throwing the functionality in the trash.

Crazy to think that even the newest Pixels can’t cast to any device unless you specifically have Chromecast support, which most of the TVs don’t. I can cast my Samsung or iPhone just fine tho
