News Summary

• Netflix has removed the ability to cast shows and movies from phones to TVs, unless subscribers are using older casting devices.
• Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, but only for subscribers on pricier ad-free plans, which start from $17.99 per month.
• The casting changes announced on Netflix’s support page do not explain why the feature has been removed.
• It follows a similar move in 2019 when Netflix removed AirPlay support, citing a desire to “ensure our standard of quality for viewing is being met”
