Windows 10: Edge Browser - Optimise Media Casting

I've discovered one useful feature of Edge is the ability to cast video to my Sony TV. However, the playback is sometimes jerky. Is there a way optimising the playback settings when casting videos via Edge?

This only works with Smart tvs connected to your network not with older models.

How do I get my Chromecast device working with Edge ?

YES it IS possible to use Chromecast with Edge

This is a kludge - but it works

OPEN the Chrome browser and start casting to screen.

CLOSE the Chrome browser

OPEN the Edge browser

Casting to screen continues as normal even though the Chrome Browser is closed.

(Chrome browser is closed or as good as -cos it sure aint on the taskbar)

 

Hi Steve,

I also like this feature and use it to cast video, pictures and music from my study to another room via the WiFi network. Jerky playback has sometimes occurred if I am accessing the media from the internet on my PC and simultaneously sending it via the WiFi to another room but I have usually put this down to a poor internet connection which can struggle a bit in the evenings where I am. If your internet connection is good then I would check that nothing is interfering with the internal WiFi signal such as interference from electrical equipment in proximity to either the router and/or the Miracast or DLNA device you are casting too. Simply try turning things off to see if it makes any difference. I once found an LED lighting system I was trying out was emitting RF interference which kept cutting out the WiFi network (I only mention this as an example to get you thinking).
