Hi forum
Both my iPads won’t cast to chromecast from the safari-browser anymore.
Network works, and I can cast to my KEF speakers via KEF’s app, but the cast button in safari is simply grayed out, without further eksplanation.
Any ideas?
OS: Newest on both
HW: iPad 2018 and iPad Air 2022
iPad Air, iPadOS 16
The iPad uses AirPlay, made by Apple, while Chromecast is a product from Google, using a totally different technology. Sadly, they don't work together at the moment. However, you can find apps for mirroring in the App Store, for example https://apps.apple.com/us/app/docast-cast-and-mirror-to-tv/id6446948344 Just download one of these apps onto your iPad and follow the setup instructions. They work pretty well, especially since there isn't a built-in option for this.

Google Chromecast doesn't work directly with Apple products. You can only stream to Chromecast from apps that support it, like YouTube or Netflix. If you need to display something from your iPad, try mirroring apps like this one https://apps.apple.com/us/app/docast-cast-and-mirror-to-tv/id6446948344 I used it to mirror a presentation at work.
Hello rune85,
Google Chromecast isn't built into any Apple products. Apple uses AirPlay. If you need help with a website or Google Chromecast, we recommend reaching out to the site developer or to Google. Google Help
Thanks.
