(Android 4.4.4) Cast Screen option - with Chromecast?

[VictorVonD]

Hi has anyone managed to use the Cast Screen option in their Moto G 2nd Gen or is this a "placeholder" / "currently unusable" feature? I'd like to know if it's time to get a Chromecast dongle. I'm still on Android 4.4.4.

Supposedly, the Chromecast app will run on any 4.4 phone, so it should work even though the phone isn't on the list yet. I can't say it will, because I don't have a Moto G to test it on. (If you have a friend with a Chromecast, install the app on your phone and see if you can cast the screen (menu at the upper-left.)

The function did not work for me on 4.4.4 and it does not work on 5.0.2 either. I currently have a Chromecast
