My Question or Issue

 When using Spotify App (obtained from windows store), I'm not able to stream it to my TV through chromecast as it does not appear in Devices List. But, if I go by web player, my chromecast appears there. So, after some musics, it hangs and lose connection, forcing me to refresh page and connect again.

Here is the things I tried:
- Reinstall the app

- Reboot wifi

- Reboot Chromecast

- Checked Youtube, Netflix, Screen Mirroring... everything is working fine, but Spotify.

 

The WiFi modem is less than 2m of Chromecast, and my PC is connected by Ethernet.

 

Any ideas?

Spotify Desktop does not support Chromecast. That's what the support told me.

Good news!

 

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

 

Make sure your Spotify desktop app is up to date. This feature is currently live in the latest Spotify desktop version downloaded from the Spotify website. I am not sure about the Microsoft store version, but it may be included in an update already out or coming soon.
