However, when we say Chromecast Desktop, you are sharing the entire computer screen to your TV. When you are casting a tab, as the name suggests, you are sharing the contents of an individual browser tab. This feature works only from Windows computers, Mac OSX, Linux and Chrome OS devices such as Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, Chromebases, and Chromebits. This is perfect for sharing photos or presentations, especially at home.
Sharing your computer’s desktop to Chromecast is an inbuilt feature of Google Cast. Apart from being an easy way to share content from the web, this was a crowd favorite because it helped us cast content that was not officially supported on Chromecast. Sharing your computer’s screen on the TV is one of the most popular features of Chromecast.
