My Question or Issue

Since I moved to a new office, casting form Win7 to Chromecast had encountered several issues.
1 - First and more annoing is that casting stops every 60 minutes. Precisely. Have to click on cast icon again to restart casting.
Had tried to cast other browser tabs and all works fine, so I assume it's a Spotify related issue.

2 - Sometime casting doesn't even start. On tv can just see the Spotify logo, then after some time  cast disconnect.

3 - Desktop app DOES NOT connect to chromecast unutil casting hase been activated from web APP (browser)

Well, very very disappointed. Wondering what a Premium plan would be worth for.

Good news!

You can now find Chromecast in the connect "devices available" menu in the Spotify desktop app. Now you can cast your music to Chromecast from the desktop app without having to use the iOS or Android app or web player first.

Make sure your Spotify desktop app is up to date
