How Do You Use Chromecast With Microsoft Edge Chromium? (Chromecast in Edge Chromium)
Starting from Edge Chromium build 76.0.167.0, Chromecast will be available by default. So if you are using a slightly older version you’ll need to update it to get access to the feature. At this stage you’ll also need to be using the Canary build of Edge Chromium, as it is is the first to receive the Chromecast feature. However, if you don’t mind waiting, you’ll be able to start using it from Dev and Beta soon enough.
Once you’ve updated to the latest version of Edge Chromium Canary, you can start using Chromecast by doing the following. Open Edge, then navigate to a website you’d like to start casting using your Chromecast device. Next, click the three dots in the top right-hand corner to access the settings menu. From this menu go down to More Tools (hover over it) then finally select Cast to media device. If your Chromecast device is connected correctly you’ll see your selected content appear.
