Nexus 7 (2012) Why won't cast screen work on lollipop

I have a Nexus 2012 WiFi and have just upgraded to Android 5.0 using the factory image.

I can connect to my chromecast and can display photos and videos using various apps but when I select CAST SCREEN from the drop down menu it just says NO DEVICES AVAILABLE.

I have searched for a solution on Google and this forum but I can't seem to find any answers. Please help.☺

This feature must be on limited devices.

When I use the chromcast app on my S5, I see the option to cast my screen. When I use the same app on my 2012 WiFi nexus 7, the option is not there.

I had the same question until I discovered that the Nexus 7 2012 is not in the current list of supported devices for this feature.

I know that this doesn't go along with your device but on my moto g 2nd gen (KitKat) everything casts normally but when I go to settings to cast my screen, it says no devices found

Oh well, thanks for your replies, maybe it's time to buy a new tablet.

MST99, my nexus did become very laggy so I tried Slimkat ROM a while ago and it worked a treat. Now on lollipop, it seems fine but it's still early days.

Re: Nexus 7 (2012) Why won't cast screen work on lollipop

I can cast my Nexus 10 screen, but not the Nexus 7 2012 screen.
Only apps that support Chromecast will work on Nexus 7 2012.
I'd like to relieve my neck pain.
Are there any 3rd party apps that you can get that will allow you to cast a Nexus 7 2012 screen to Chromecast?
Thanks.
