One of the most interesting news in VLC 3.0 is the possibility of sending content to Chromecast, thanks to which we can enjoy all the content on our PC on any television or monitor on which we have a Chromecast device installed. We have developed this post to explain step by step everything you need to send VLC 3.0 content to Chromecast

How to send VLC 3.0 content to Chromecast

This feature is currently only available in version 3.0 of VLC for Windows, so it will be mandatory to have this Windows operating system and an updated version of VLC. Of course you will also need a Chromecast device, an Android TV device that supports this function or a TV that uses Android TV. Finally, we point out that the Windows computer you are using to stream must be on the same local network as your Chromecast device.

The first step will be to find the Chromecast device in VLC 3.0, for this you have to click on Play> Processor and we should see the name of our Chromecast device. We click on it and it will be selected to send the content.

The next step will be to open the video file that we want to send with VLC 3.0, this will create a playlist with the files that we want to send to our Chromecast, we can add as many as we want.

Once we create our created playlist we click on it with the right mouse button and click on play, if we get a confirmation message we only have to accept so that the content begins to be sent to our television. If everything went well you should already be enjoying your video on the TV with the Chromecast installed.
