Chromecast is a playback device, I'm not sure how you would use it with OBS. You can't send OBS output to Chromecast, however you can play a recorded video on Chromecast using VLC or similar.

You can stream to Twitch or similar, open the stream in Chrome, and cast it to the Chromecast from there.

You CAN stream OBS to chromecast.... this article explains how.. you basicly have to use VLC to route it.

It even shows you how to make a dock for it...

you can play the stream via VLC, and then render this stream to the Chromecast. Just what I would need, awesome! But then I needed an rtmp server to stream to, and luckily I found someone had created a Docker image


You have to install the

nginx-rtmp


package.. this allows OBS to stream to the protocol service locally...

the links are all on the bottom..

I know this is an old forum but the way I do it is I turn on the virtual camera and open it in chrome where you can cast your screen/browser tab
Attached is my html code to show the camera fullscreen in chrome.

This is a great idea, however I don't see how I can switch the webcam it uses. Also, what about sound? Webcams don't have sound and video as the same source
