I am sorry that I cannot take new bugs anymore. Redirect to :jaws so this doesn't fall into the cracks.

This is broken on 64 where bug 1483656 introduced the problem.

Canceling ni because I can no longer track this bug.
It is possible we are seeing bug 1491134 when testing this out?

Another thing I wanted to mention is we actually advertise this in the verbiage at the Google Play Store:
"Take it to the Big Screen"
-Send video and Web Content from your smartphone or tablet to any TV equipped with supported streaming capabilities.
Any luck with this Andrei? it would be nice to fix for the 66 release.

Closing this one out as WFM based on Comment 8. If we can reliably reproduce this, we can reopen.

Were you able to successfully cast or did casting fail? Your comment is not clear.

Hi, sorry for the confusion. I wanted to point out that the cast icon appears in the url bar and the functionality works as expected.
