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

I recently upgraded my MacBook Air's MacOS and Chrome browser, and now I can't cast to my Chromecast device. When I try, I get the following message: "To cast, give Chrome access in system settings" - along with a helpful link to the Security and Privacy settings. For the life of me, I can't figure out which settings need to be set to allow casting. Search engine searches turn up one page, which helpfully describes this as "not an issue" with Chrome.


Details:

MacBook Air M1, 2020, 16GB RAM, OS Sequoia 15.0.1

Chrome is Version 129.0.6668.101 (Official Build) (arm64)

Chromecast adapter is third gen, firmware 1.56.291998


I have a work-around with my phone, but this is driving me nuts.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0

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!

hey guys...if nothing is working for you try this method..... toggle off the local network permission for chrome in settings..... Leave it off keep on doing your normal things and at some point chrome will ask for the permission on its own and you just have to press allow on the pop up permission and thats it. Remember when you toggle off quit chrome at least once and then start using it normally.


In case this does not work for you either then alternate solution is to dload chrome canary and use casting through it after allowing the local network permissions that it pops up once you set it up.


Hope this helps everyone !
