An <a href=\"https:\/\/help.netflix.com\/en\/node\/58351\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">updated help page on Netflix\u2019s website<\/a>, first reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/netflix-casting-chromecast-google-tv-streamer-3620784\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android Authority<\/a>, says that the streaming service \u201cno longer supports casting shows from a mobile device to most TVs and TV-streaming devices,\u201d and instead directs users to navigate Netflix using the remote that came with their TV hardware.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The change seems to have rolled out in the last few weeks, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Chromecast\/comments\/1ox7in3\/rant_netflix_no_long_has_casting_support_you_must\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one user on Reddit reporting<\/a> that casting support was removed on November 10th \u201cwith zero warning.\u201d My colleague Dom Preston also found that while he was able to cast to a TV from an older version of the Netflix app, the casting option was no longer available after the app was updated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, according to Netflix\u2019s support page, but only for subscribers on pricier ad-free plans, which start from $17.99 per month. Netflix users with an ad-supported subscription ($7.99 per month) will be unable to cast from their phones even if they own legacy Chromecast devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The casting changes announced on Netflix\u2019s support page do not explain why the feature has been removed.
