• No, it does not work like that. "Chrome" + "Cast" = broadcast your chrome browser to TV. What you see in your Google Chrome browser on your laptop is what you see on TV! It does not work with any media players software on your laptop. But.......I think you could do it with third party apps (might not work with all O.S.), and it will cost you money and might not work that smoothly.

• There are a few different ways to achieve this, but I can list two ways. One is a simple way, but you will not get HD resolutions. The other is more complex, but you will get the full HD resolution of the movie file you have. 1. Use the Chrome web browser. Open the Web Store for chrome. Install the Google Cast app. Open the video file from within Chrome. Click the cast Icon on the browser corner and watch it on your tv. 2. Download and install Plex Media server. using the guide from the website AllAboutChromeCast. Since I can't provide a direct link here, google search for "How to setup Plex for Chromecast" and look for the link starting for the website allaboutchromecast... Once you've done that correctly, then you can cast your movie at full HD resolution to your TV

• Please use Videostream extension in chrome browser in your laptop along with google cast extension. Open local video in Videostream then a cast option will popup that will cast the video over to chromecast connected TV. Refer this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPVoi9xx_XA Alternatively you can use plex app for android/iOS along with plex media server running on your laptop. you can add local movies to plex media server and cast them to you chromecast via plex app. Refer this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yXTQN-IXxQ

• Yes. Most video content can be 'cast' to the device using the Chrome Browser on Windows PCs and there is a wide variety of apps to cast from the Android platform as well. For content not supported by the Chromecast natively, try using a media server like Plex and / or BubbleUPnP.
