"To cast, give Chrome access in system settings." -- which system settings?

Same for me - I have deleted and reinstalled Chrome (after upgrading to Sequoia) but still can't use Chromecast. I have followed all the advice on this page, but it still doesn't work. Advice please!

does not work for me, in the Privacy setting---->Local network, there are 5 Google Chrome, they all switched to enable, but still cant cast to chrome cast

Hi.

In order to enable casting I have granted Google Chrome two permissions in system settings:

• Local Network
• Screen & System Audio recording

Option to cast was enabled after restarting Google Chrome.

I hope it helps.

I have an iMac and MacBookPro, both were running OS 15.0.1. Previously, Chromecast worked great on both. The settings were the same. I could use Chromecast with no problem on the MacBook, but it wouldn't work on the iMac.

I removed giving Chrome access, restarted, gave access again, and restarted, without resolution. I deleted Chrome, downloaded, and reinstalled it with no change. I downloaded and installed OS 15.1 on the iMac this morning, and still cannot use Chromecast. I also still get that message, "To cast, give Chrome access in System Settings". Total frustration!

I am using Sequoia, too, and am having the same issue. I haver deleted and reinstalled Google Chrome, but still receive the vague dialogue box.

Canary works for me, too. but Chrome Canary is newer than the stable version. And that is good news, and appears to be a problem with Chrome, not Apple. I am hoping that stable gets updated soon. Here is the difference between versions today:

Google Chrome stable

Updating Chrome

Version 129.0.6668.103 (Official Build) (arm64)

Canary

Chrome is up to date

Version 132.0.6790.0 (Official Build) canary (arm64)

same issue, tried everything - nothing works. happy for chrome canary that's not updated to the latest version, can still cast with that although the local network access permission screen appears every time the browser is restarted (plus 6 items from canary under local network permissions in system settings). frustrating.

sidenote: looks like similar issue has occurred in the past!

This is how it looks like after uninstall chrome and clear the bin, apparently the system still think there is or are google chrome installed, so it DOES NOT WORK after reinstall

age checking question of those pxxn website, who is going to answer under 18 ???????

but in this case, if you accidentally say no, you can never cast again

and there is no other way to reset the privacy setting, I have tried the command line in terminal, it literally reset everything except the local network, I am done trying, really frustrating

yup, that's exactly the result i get too no matter what i try. even deep cleaned all of chrome via terminal, full new install from scratch, result still the same (and a gazillion chromes in local network toggled for access). extremely frustrating.

canary still works great, updated to newest version and still works. however, also canary now has several items in local network.

ugh, so dumb.

Here is the solution. it helped me to resolve this issue. check google chrome in local network.

I uninstalled chrome completely from my MacBook Pro 2020 with M1, including web pages that I turned into web apps. Then reinstalled from safari. After starting chrome it asked for permissions, I granted for Local Network and for recording screen and audio, then restarted chrome. Everything works fine now and I am able to cast.

Uninstall Chrome and then reinstall it. It fixed the casting access issue for me. Drag Chrome to the trash on a mac and then empty the trash. Open a different browser and reinstall Chrome. Cast tab works again on Sequoia.

Yeah, those are the same symptoms I have. Lately for some unexplained reason Chrome asked for access to network and I granted permission. After that, casting worked. That was still with Sequoia 15.01. Since then I have updated to Sequoia 15.1 and the problem is back. That is the same symptom I had when I logged in as admin. After I granted permission to Chrome, casting worked until I rebooted. Canary still works. Puzzling.

What worked for me after uninstalling Chrome with the trash bin method:

1. Go to screen & system audio recording
2. Remove Chrome from both settings
3. Add Chrome back
4. Go to local network setting
5. Toggle all 5 Chrome options off
6. Right click and quit Chrome
7. Toggle all 5 Chrome options on
8. Start Chrome again
