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.

Unrelated to this topic, but how is your 12 Nexus? Mine is so laggy its pretty much unusable...

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.

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.
