Sharing from PC is easier with Edge and Chromecast support: here's how you can turn it on

The new Edge continues to give a lot to talk about We have seen how little by little it extends its domains and the Canary version can already be installed on macOS officially while the version in the Dev channel has leaked a link to follow the same process.

A browser that little by little reveals some of the secrets it hides and some of which we have reviewed in these pages. From controlling the data that is sent to Microsoft or using other search engines instead of Bing.And now we know that it integrates support for Chromecast natively and that is why we are going to see how it can be activated.

"

A function that we can activate indifferently, whether we use the Windows 10 or Mac version For this we are going to pull the flags tab that we have talked about on other occasions, an option to access experimental configurations originating from Chrome."

"

To activate support for Chromecast what we do is write edge://flags (without the quotes) in the address bar by Edge."

A new window will then open with a series of instructions and a search box. To make the task easier, write in the search box the command load-media-router-component-extension.

"

This is marked in yellow with an options box to the right. In it, the Default option appears and we must replace it with Enabled."

"

Now we repeat the operation and search for the command views-cast-dialog, again in the search box. A process in which it again returns a result that we must modify, setting the active position to Enabled."

At that moment we will only have to click on the button in the lower area to restart the browser and we will be able to use Chromecast by going to Go back to the hamburger menu and click on More Tools and there we find the option.

At that point we will only have to mark the device to which we want to send the content from our browser to start sharing.
