Google's baking Chromecast support directly into Chrome

   <section class="page">
<p>Google’s Chromecast (http://www.techhive.com/article/2045146/hands-on-googles-chromecast-is-almost-ready-for-prime-time.html) is almost three years years old, but the company’s only now getting around to building Cast support directly into Chrome for PCs and Macs.</p><p>Google recently updated a help page for Chrome (https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6398952?hl=en&amp;ref_topic=4602213) that says users on Chrome 51 will soon see a Cast option in their menu options. In addition, Google’s adding the ability show the contents of a Chrome tab in a Google Hangout.</p><p>The change means you no longer need to have the Cast extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd) installed to send open tabs from the browser to a television. However, the extension will still work if you want to use it as a quick access option instead of digging around in the menu.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3091063/data-center-cloud/googles-baking-chromecast-support-directly-into-chrome.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
