Chromecast Device Not Detected on MacBook Hotspot


Recommended Posts

I am attempting to connect my Chromecast to a VPN network using my MacBook Pro as a hotspot, but I am encountering an issue where the Chromecast is not detected on my Mac. Here’s the setup I have followed:

 

  1. My MacBook Pro is connected to the internet via Ethernet.
  2. I have configured Network Sharing to share my VPN connection over Wi-Fi (Share your connection from: [iCODE]VPN[/iCODE] & To devices using: [iCODE]Wi-Fi[/iCODE]).
  3. The Chromecast is connected to this Wi-Fi hotspot.
  4. When I search for Chromecast devices in Chrome, none are displayed. Interestingly, when I connect my mobile phone to the same hotspot network, I can cast from my mobile to the Chromecast without any issues.

 

The problem lies in the fact that the Chromecast does not appear on my MacBook.

 

Questions:

 

  1. Are there specific settings or permissions on macOS that I need to adjust for Chrome to detect the Chromecast?
  2. Is there a known issue with Chromecast not being recognized over a MacBook hotspot?

 

Any guidance on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!
