Protocol stack

I think this operates on top of the Internet Protocol, typicially wifi? That's not clear from the article. -- Beland (talk) 19:13, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen a reliable source that explicitly confirms this. Barte (talk) 22:46, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shared queue removal

Can we put something in this article about the removed shared queue functionality, ie when it happened and the consequences? It severely reduced the functionality of the Chromecast. Theducks (talk) 12:19, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Improve Overview

As it stands, the overview seems a bit difficult to understand in my opinion. This won't fully solve the problem, but I suggest removing(or moving to later in the article) the following section "branded for consumer devices as Chromecast built-in,[1]". Removing it makes the first sentence much cleaner and clearer, and explains what Google cast is better, imo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuantumWasp (talk • contribs) 01:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up: Another improvement would be to have a hyperlink to Chromecast earlier on in the article, as the 2 are very tightly related, and some people may be looking for ChromeCast instead(as happened to me). QuantumWasp (talk) 02:03, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with "official list of compatible apps and platforms" link

Google's official list of compatible apps and platforms is available on the [https://www.google.com/intl/en/chromecast/apps/ Chromecast website]

There is a debate about we should or should not attach this disclaimer: "(The contents of the site varies according to the viewer's location.)"

Y2kcrazyjoker4 reverted my disclaimer with "writing this out in article prose is not encyclopedic".

But is is the empirical fact that if you see this link you are not seeing an absolute list of "official list of compatible apps and platforms" - what would expectable from the encyclopedia - but only those which accessible from your location told by your browser.
I think it is really important to warn the readers of the encyclopedia to the fact the link in the article points to the source what itself not encyclopedic but dynamically changing according to the reading circumstances! Madacs (talk) 09:37, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
