How to STOP Chromecast Galaxy S2 Tablet

[AC Question]

Hello, asking on behalf of a friend.

She would like to know how to completely disable chromecast so that her tablet is completely private by default. She is having issues when she would do something and then later find out it is being cast on the network to other people in the house.

She said it's not obvious at all how to disable this 'feature' which is on by default?!

If anyone can fill us in on how to disable this horrible feature please give step by step guide, thanks.

If other people are accessing her tablet, it's most likely another issue and she's just blaming her Chromecast. Better to refocus on what the actual problem might be. (A more common issue being phished email or someone gaining access to one of her social media services.)
A Chromecast isn't even capable to do any kind of file/service sharing, at most it has a mini-web server that's only configured to be used to pair up a Chromecast to a WiFi network.
Also, if she doesn't want her tablet to link up to her Chromecast, tell her to stop pressing the icon to connect to it (usually located in the top menu bar of any app that has Chromecast support). It doesn't do so automatically, it's a matter of user actively selecting it.
