Tab/screen don´t refresh when we cast to ChromeCast

We have a Chromecast connected at the wifi network, and We are trying to cast tabs/screens from our internal network.

 

We follow the steps from the technical tip, but I can only stream audio as the tab screen remains static and don´t refresh.

 

How could I troubleshoot this situation ? Let me know if anyone has seen the same problem.

 

We are running FortiOS 7.2.3 and our box is FGT 60.

 

Regards,

 

Anderson

I solved the problem disabling the Google Chrome setting "Use hardware acceleration when available".

 

In the end it was a Chrome problem.

 

Thanks for the help.

Hi gausscapital,

Please let me know if you are trying to access chromecast within same network or is it between two different subnets?
Also kindly make sure the policy is created at fortigate for chromecast traffic to flow through. Kindly check below links for more details:

Hi Parteek,

 

I have followed the same documents with the same result. My Chromecast devices are in another subnet (WIFI).

 

I can see then with the chrome browser, but I can not cast a tab nor a screen.

 

I can cast an youtube video, but my main need is to cast a browser tab/screen
