The casting announcement is about the new abilities to cast by Google. Now, Google will soon allow you to cast from your smartphone or tablet to your car or Chromebook. It will allow you to cast video from the smartphone to the car screen so you can enjoy videos on your car screen. Google didn’t reveal any details about the feature yet, so, only limited information is available to us. Google might only allow listening to the audio while driving instead of watching the video due to safety concerns or it might allow watching videos too.

You will also be able to cast your smartphone to your Chromebook as a result of this new improvement. The new casting abilities also allow switching between screens, which means you can continue watching the same video from your smartphone to your car and then on your Chromebook. These improvements sure sound very interesting as it is helping in creating an Android ecosystem for a seamless experience.
