Chrome beta for Android lets you send web videos to your Chromecast

Chromecast support in Chrome beta for Android

Want to stream any web video from your smartphone to your Chromecast? Grab the beta release of Chrome 34 for Android. The browser includes experimental support for sending embedded clips to Google’s media stick, saving you from launching a native app just to watch something on a TV. As you’d expect, there are some compatibility hiccups at this early stage. YouTube works well (surprise!), but other sites are hit and miss — you’re best off sticking to videos from major, HTML5-friendly hosts like Vimeo. If you’re willing to live with some inconsistencies, though, you can try the streaming feature today.
