Chrome Casting Warning

[recDNA]

Is there a way to eliminate this scary warning when I'm only casting at home on my wifi network to my own TV?

I read about downloading some shady apps to do it but no way I'm doing that.

What "service" are you using? What are you trying to cast?

That doesn't seem normal

 

[recDNA]

The service is Google Home
The casting is screen casting the equivalent of screen mirroring but my TV doesn't have that feature so I use Google Home to cast (mirror) my phone screen to chromecast (newer version is Google tv) which is plugged in to hdmi on my tv.. No third party apps.

If I cast YouTube or any chromecast supported app I don't get any warning. It only happens when I choose cast from Google Home to cast (mirror) my phone screen to my tv. I don't cast anything that uses a password and I wouldn't care if anyone could see what I cast (pictures or videos of my cats etc.)

I think it may just be a default warning to cover their bases.

It bothers me that nobody else here seems to have seen it when they cast their phone screen to Chromecast?

My goal is to get rid of it. It is creepy. Others have discussed it in reddit in you do a Google search but no way to shut it off is discussed.

Newer TV's have screen mirroring built in but mine doesn't so I use Chromecast.

I'm sorry I couldn't test it at work today , it was crazy busy and as it ended I couldn't wait to get home
I will still stop by tomorrow and give a update as I'm going in tommorow anyway for some paperwork.

That's cool I was just showing Vader I'm not the only one getting this message with the link in my previous post. Why some of us get it and some don't I don't know. I don't see why screen casting a video of my cats would reveal passwords nor any other info. I don't install apps from sources other than Play Store and its scan shows nothing wrong. I only use Google Home which is a Google app of course. If someone hacked into my chromecast I doubt they'd warn me.

I just tried my old LG V20 and I get no message. It works. I just had to install Google home. I did read one post that said it started with Android 10 but the V20 is only on Android 8.

I just tried it on my LG V60 with Android 12, and this is the notice I get. I have no idea if you can disable it.
