Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2676.0 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Ensure that there is one or more Google Cast device available on the network. 2. Go to any web page that contains <video> or <audio> HTML element. 3. Play the video or audio. What is the expected behavior? Cast icon to be displayed in the default HTML video or audio controls. What went wrong? Cast icon not displayed. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 51.0.2676.0 Channel: canary OS Version: Flash Version: Chrome Desktop now has native, extension-less (without needing the Google Cast extension) Google Cast (Chromecast) support. At this moment there is no way of casting an arbitrary media on Desktop Chrome. Desktop Chrome supports only mirroring of a tab and also provides a JS API through which web applications can cast individual URLs. Android Chrome (which does not support extensions) provides the ability to cast arbitrary media (video from <video> HTML element and audio from <audio> HTML element) to Google cast devices via Cast button in the default media controls. Please implement to Desktop Chrome a Cast button in the default media controls for <video> and <audio> HTML elements, and a second, overlayed Cast button on media that don't use the default controls, and an item called Cast in the context menu (right-clicking directly on the content) for casting arbitrary media. BTW, what about Cast item in the context menu for images? Google Cast devices also support images (BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, WEBP) in addition to videos and audios.

This is a feature request that I think the team would like to implement. Plus chrome-lon folk.

More than half a year has passed. Any ETA?

The feature you are asking for is the Remote Playback API which will be available soon in Chrome for Android [1]. We are working on improvements on casting video in desktop as well in parallel and eventually there will also be support for remote playback on desktop. I don't have a specific ETA yet.

Adam, this is part of the local media support; should get resolved as part of that IIUC.

MediaDocument is a special case. It's not clear to me that the implementation for local media files can also be used to ship Remote Playback on the open Web, although there will be overlap.

Dropping to P3 until we have a target milestone/launch bug.
