Windows 10 и ChromeCast

ChromeCast вообще поддерживается на Windows 10? Я б вообще не задавал этот вопрос, если б не обнаружил в настройках монитора этот пункт.

Нажимаю на него, и нахожу в списке устройств свой телевизор (интересно откуда хромкаст знает к какой модели телевизора он подключен). Находит то находит, но никак не подключается к нему.

Подключение выполняется бесконечно.

Да и в списке устройств мой хромкаст виден.

Ладно если б даже не находило, тогда был бы однозначный ответ — Хромкаст не поддерживается. Но если его находит, но не подключается к нему. Тогда что?

Поддерживается ли ChromeCast на Windows 10?

Подобного рода информацию Вы всегда можете узнать у производителя устройства. Однако, если верить официальному сайту производителя Chromecast то данное устройство поддерживает Windows 7 и более новые версии Windows. Если у Вас возникли проблемы при использовании данного устройства, пожалуйста, обратитесь к его производителю за консультацией.

В случае дополнительных вопросов по продукции Microsoft, пожалуйста, обращайтесь к нам.

Всего хорошего,
Алексей.
