Windows 10: Windows 10 "cast to device" not showing up when I right click on a media file.

I have videos i want to stream from my laptop to my tv and also my roku. Normally I would right click these files and "cast to" would be in the drop down menu and I would select what devices I wanted to cast it to. But "cast to" isnt showing up. My media streaming options are all correct so it has to be something else....

My laptop is a Samsung NP740U3L and I am running windows 10 pro version 10.0.18363 and build 18363

No Cast to media device button in menu

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you wish to cast media to device from Microsoft Edge.

• 
  What build are you working on?
  

Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps.

• 
  On Microsoft Edge, open the website that contains the media (ex: video, picture, audio) that you want to cast.
  
• 
  Click on the More Actions (. . .) at the top right.
  
• 
  Click on Cast media to device.
  
• 
  Windows will now try to connect to your network and detect your Miracast device.
  
• 
  Click on the Miracast or DLNA device you want to cast to.
  
• 
  Windows will now connect and cast to your Miracast device.
  

Hope it helps.

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with the issue. We are glad to assist you.

 

Windows Media Player 12 Not Casting

Hello. I have the same problem as the original poster. I am able to cast individual songs to Marantz receiver, but I cannot cast playlists.

Here are some additional details. I have Windows 10 and WMP12.

To cast a song in WMP12 I do the following:

1. right click song

2. select "Cast to Device"

3. select Marantz receiver (I have other device which also appear on list of options to cast to)

When I right click a playlist, and select "Cast to Device", the only option that comes up is "Cast to Device". In other words, "cast to device" appears a second time, none of my devices appear as in step 3 above when only trying to cast an individual song.

I also, after applying the suggest resolutions noted in the posts above, I tried creating a new test playlist, but I couldn't cast that playlist either.

Are there any additional steps I can take to resolve this?

Thank you.

 

Right Click cast to device not working

Hi

Since after updating my Windows 10 on the 16/3/2017, the cast to device function is not working anymore.

After I right clicked and choose it to cast to my Xbox 1, the small windows comes up and the small spinning wheel just keeps spinning and shows "contacting network device..." and that's it.

I've allowed media streaming in the WMP and I can't seem to find any solution.

Please advise.
