I have had bad experience with Chromecast. I used to be able to cast by mobile phone to the TV to watch videos. But after some software update the casting would no longer work because I was using mobile data and mobile hotspot. Something which used to work when I bought the product stopped working after a software update. Also there used to be a dedicated chrome cast app - but they replaced it with Google home app which has countless things I do not need. Also the home app is more flaky than the older dedicated app. My confidence in google related have gone down rapidly and I am no longer willing to adapt new google products and ma planning to move away from what I am currently using.

Thats odd since Chromecast streams directly from WiFi - you don’t send the video to it from your phone, it simply picks up where you left by sending a resource URL.
Not when you are casting your screen.
