As long as you have the cast icon you can cast it. It looks like a small tv frame

We also recommend ensuring that your current setup meets the following requirements for the best experience when using Chromecast: - A mobile phone or tablet running Android 6.0 or later, or iPhone or iPad with iOS 12.0 or later version. - An active Gmail account. You may encounter issues using a G-Suite account. - Ensure that you have an updated version of the Google Home app. - A high speed Internet connection of at least 20 Mbps. Mobile hotspots and Captive portal networks are not compatible with Chromecast devices. - A strong Wi-Fi network connection. - A TV with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 1.3 or higher built-in. HDCP 2.2 is required to support 4K content. Most televisions that are five years old or newer and have HDMI ports will have at least one port that supports HDCP 2.2. - Your mobile device and Chromecast device should be within 15 feet (4 meters) of each other. The Chromecast or TV with Chromecast built-in should be 15 feet (4 meters) away from the router, or less. - Make sure both your Chromecast device and mobile device are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network channel, either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz
