I still do this all the time from my desktop PC with Chrome. As far as I'm aware you can cast any tab, or even your whole desktop.



ahhh... when i try to Cast from my desktop to my Roku, i see the Roku as a destination, but only "Available for specific video sites". i think it must be that the _Roku_ is restricted as a Cast[ing] destination. my Chromecast HD is in a drawer so i can't test it right now.

so using a real Chromecast, it still is possible to Cast any tab at all?

damn, i should get that Chromecast back out!

thank you for the correction!


Yes, it is still 100% possible with the real Chromecast. My TV also has an option to cast to it (not sure what it uses under the hood) but it is similarly restricted.
