Unable to see any Chromecast device


Is the network on the new laptop set for Private? https://support.google.com/chromecas.../3249268?hl=en

Follow this:

You must use the Google Chrome browser to use Google Chromecast. Not Microsoft's edge browser.









If you have issues setting up your Windows 10 computer, try each of the following before moving on to the next:

• Refresh your Media Router:

1. Ensure that you're on the latest version of the Chrome Browser
2. Open a new tab in Chrome.
3. Type chrome://flags/#media-router into the address bar.
4. Check and see if the status is "Enabled". If it is, try "Disabling" and refresh your Chrome Browser.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 but this time Enable the option again.
6. Look in the upper right hand corner for the "More Options" icon
7. Click on the "Cast" option.

• Make sure you power the Chromecast device with the provided power supply into an open electrical outlet, not using a USB input on your TV or other device.
• Your computer and Chromecast device should be within ~15 feet (4 meters) of each other. Your Chromecast device should be ~15 feet (4 meters) away from your router, or less.
• Reset your Windows browser default to Chrome browser.
• Conduct a Chromecast Factory Data Reset.
• Reboot your Wi-fi router and/or internet service provider modem or gateway
• Turn Windows Defender OFF.
• See original post by Google employee about other settings.
