    Wait this is news? My Pixel 2 supported it years ago. Are you telling me that they disabled it the last few years… these bastards!

        It was literally screen mirroring. I remember using this with a nexus iirc. Whatever was on the phone screen was on the bigger display.

        It wasn’t exactly chrome cast as with cast it doesn’t play the same video locally.
