How to Cast to your Chromecast
You can either cast a tab or cast your entire screen to your Chromecast. There are benefits to both and you may find yourself using one over the other in different situations.
For example - casting your tab allows only one tab to be on the projector at that given time. This allows you to switch to a different tab and work on something separate. This is great for showing a video while you respond to emails so your private emails are not displayed on the screen. Casting your screen allows you to share the entire screen to the display. This is useful when you have multiple windows or tabs you are wanting to show back-to-back, as well as desktop apps like your document camera.
