Chromecast was the Miracast usurper.
Long live miracast
Just read about it, so is it like an open standard Google Cast/Airplay type thing?
It was the open standard, then Google broke it and introduced Chromecast.
And they've polluted the wording so that Chromecast means both the device, and the protocol, etc etc
I look forward to seeing what they rename the streaming protocol to. Maybe it will still be called chromecast
It was called Google Cast for a long time, after other devices adopted the protocol.
Honestly I had problems with every Miracast device I ever used. Beamers and TVs always broke connections randomly. Most of the time pairing didn't even work and failed without an error.
