The native chromecast arrives in chrome 51 without extensions

Chromecast is a technology where we can easily send multimedia content such as movies, series, photos, websites, YouTube videos , etc., from the computer to different compatible devices.

Chromecast integrates with Chrome 51 without extensions

Until now, in order to send multimedia content from the Chrome browser with this function, it was necessary to install an extension. With the arrival of Google Chrome 51, the latest version of the browser, it will no longer be necessary to install anything because it will come fully integrated from the beginning.

To use Chromecast and start sending multimedia content, you just have to click on the configuration button in the upper right corner and search for the Send option (Cast) or right-click on the browser tab you want to send to Chromecast and select the Send option. The new function will automatically adjust and optimize the resolution and quality of the material.

Send Chromecast content in simple in Chrome

The integration of standard Chromecast in the browser also makes it possible to send directly to a Hangout or to Google Cloud Services. It will also be possible to send comments about Cast in Chrome from the icon of the Google Cast toolbar, report a problem or make a suggestion, etc.

If you have not yet updated your browser to Chrome 51, it is recommended that you do it soon, not only due to the Cast integration but also due to the performance improvements that have been added and the security patches applied.
