in Phones & TV
Hi people,
I got this notification on my phone. We share the same wifi at home. I'm just wondering why I've got this notification. We brought a smart tv recently and I believe a family member might be casting YouTube.
What does this mean for me and my privacy using my phone and going on the internet?
Sorry if this sounds like a silly question.
Thanks

Do you have a Chromecast device?This behaviour usually occurs because you have a Chromecast device. Every Android device that is on the same network as a Chromecast that is casting gets playback controls as a notification. The Chromecast owner can turn this off in the settings for that device in the Google Home app.

Is your TV an Android one? What's your TV make and model? Some TVs have it built in which will generate this sort of message.
