"Popular tools like Google Chromecast make this easy by turning your phone into a remote control for the TV. The change impacts both Android and iPhone users casting to most modern TVs or streaming sticks, such as the newer Chromecasts or Google TVs. The only way Netflix users can continue casting is if they have older hardware like the original Chromecast from 2013 or early Google TV streamers with built-in Google Cast support."
"However, casting will only work for customers who have Netflix's ad-free plans, which cost at least $18 per month - a major catch that has infuriated many of the streaming service's 300million subscribers. 'First password sharing, now no casting. Netflix is speed-running how to annoy its entire user base,' one person said on X. 'Genuinely cancelling my [Netflix] subscription over this. This is the best way to use Netflix? What are they thinking????' another person commented on The Verge."
Netflix ended the ability to cast video directly from mobile phones to most modern TVs and streaming sticks. Both Android and iPhone casting to newer Chromecasts and Google TVs are affected. Casting still works only on older hardware such as the original 2013 Chromecast or early Google TV streamers with built-in Google Cast. Casting functionality is restricted to Netflix's ad-free plans that cost at least $18 per month. Many customers discovered the change when casting stopped and by checking the Netflix help page. The service instructs users to navigate Netflix using the TV or streaming-device remote, prompting widespread user frustration.
