Dev channel update to 84.0.516.1 is live
What's the "UI to help enable media casting if users attempt to use it while it’s disabled" supposed to look like? What is the expected experience here? I was trying to explain to another how to get Chromecast working in Edge, and was trying to explain forward to when Edge 84's mainstream, but even in Edge 85 I couldn't see anything materially different about the casting experience vs 83: the only device listed under "Cast media to device" is a Roku/non-Chromecast device. I didn't see a button or anything allowing me to opt-in to see the Cast protocol devices on the network. I suspect, as in Edge 83, I could enable flags to get Chromecasts to appear, but I think you're implying I shouldn't have to do that anymore in Edge 84+? What am I missing? Did this get backed out as of 84.0.522.20?
Wade Dorrell you're looking for this:
It appears when you try to cast something but casting is completely disabled for the browser. When you click Restart, the appropriate flags are set automatically for you, as opposed to having to enabled them manually like before. This has nothing to do with which devices are eligible to cast to though; if we didn't support it before this change, that won't be any different now. We're still looking into how we can improve the types of devices we can to in the future.
