"To cast, give Chrome access in system settings." -- which system settings?

This is the ONLY thing that has worked for me! Been watching this thread for over a month. Thanks!

This: DISABLE this feature flag: chrome://flags/#use-network-framework-for-local-discovery.

does not work for me, in the Privacy setting---->Local network, there are 5 Google Chrome, they all switched to enable, but still cant cast to chrome cast

I have an iMac and MacBookPro, both were running OS 15.0.1. Previously, Chromecast worked great on both. The settings were the same. I could use Chromecast with no problem on the MacBook, but it wouldn't work on the iMac.

I removed giving Chrome access, restarted, gave access again, and restarted, without resolution. I deleted Chrome, downloaded, and reinstalled it with no change. I downloaded and installed OS 15.1 on the iMac this morning, and still cannot use Chromecast. I also still get that message, "To cast, give Chrome access in System Settings". Total frustration!

Same for me - I have deleted and reinstalled Chrome (after upgrading to Sequoia) but still can't use Chromecast. I have followed all the advice on this page, but it still doesn't work. Advice please!

Hi.

In order to enable casting I have granted Google Chrome two permissions in system settings:

• Local Network
• Screen & System Audio recording

Option to cast was enabled after restarting Google Chrome.

I hope it helps.

Hi All,

You can try this step:

Open Terminal and use the following command to run Chrome with elevated privileges

sudo /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome

Enter your password when prompted.

It's worked for me today. Thank you.

I managed to fix it by switching OFF "Screen and System Audio Recording???? Hope this helps someone.

I am using Sequoia, too, and am having the same issue. I haver deleted and reinstalled Google Chrome, but still receive the vague dialogue box.

Here is the solution. it helped me to resolve this issue. check google chrome in local network.

I had the same issue. This was extremely annoying as I spent multiple days reading up forums etc on how to fix the problem. Nothing worked. I went through all the comments here as well and tried things that worked for others to no avail. I've got a Macbook Pro M1, and everything is up to date including chrome.

FINALLY figured out what instantly worked for me.

System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Screen & System Audio Recording

• and then toggle "On" google chrome for both the 'Screen & System Audio Recording' AND the 'System Audio Recording Only".
• I originally had to manually add google chrome using the "+" icon and then switch them on. It also only worked once I added it to both the "Screen & System..." & "System Audio..." sections. When only the former was added it still did not work.

Hope this helps some of you out as I found nothing about this online when trying to resolve my issue.

same issue, tried everything - nothing works. happy for chrome canary that's not updated to the latest version, can still cast with that although the local network access permission screen appears every time the browser is restarted (plus 6 items from canary under local network permissions in system settings). frustrating.

sidenote: looks like similar issue has occurred in the past!

This is how it looks like after uninstall chrome and clear the bin, apparently the system still think there is or are google chrome installed, so it DOES NOT WORK after reinstall

age checking question of those pxxn website, who is going to answer under 18 ???????

but in this case, if you accidentally say no, you can never cast again

and there is no other way to reset the privacy setting, I have tried the command line in terminal, it literally reset everything except the local network, I am done trying, really frustrating

Disabling the feature flag worked for me:

It seems like rolling back to M129 solves the issue for now. It might also fix the issue by disabling this feature flag: chrome://flags/#use-network-framework-for-local-discovery.

Yes, this works. For anyone who still struggles,

1. move the current chromecast to trash, and clean trash bin
2. redownload google chrome from other browsers, and install it fresh again
3. open system settings, locate to "privacy & security" --> "Locan Network", add google chrome
4. open system settings, locate to "privacy & security" --> "Screen & System Audio recording", add google chrome
5. restart your chromse

Then, you will be able to cast again.

I've tried this several times already and just tried it again, but it doesn't work for me. It seems to work for some but not others, which is so weird. I'm still relying on Canary to cast, as I've kinda given up on trying with Chrome!
