    That's not casting dude, you are describing screen mirroring, which is a completely different kind of experience. Why tf would you even do mirroring if you can simply cast. This is a really strange reply.

      Because they cant cast, as they described.

      Incidentally i know the difference between casting and screen mirroring. I also know the words are almost interchangabke and depending on the make of your phone the screen mirror will actually be called mirror-casting or screen casting.

      I also clearly stated some of the differences in experience in my comment.

      Also screen mirroring is, in my opinion, superior to casting because i dont have to open a different session to cast when switching app. Eg if i play a video feom youtube and then swap to a streaming service like netflix. Or maybe i want to view twitch. I dont have to stop casting one and start the other.

      I accept there are advantages to both. But its app specific. Like in youtube i can csst and then leave the app and continue using my phone. But the experience is different in other apps.

      So no… not a strange reply.

      A helpful and considered reply…
