Android TV Chromecast Built-in and Laptop Streaming

by ilovesushialot

Hi, I have a very basic question that I surprisingly haven't been able to answer despite 2 hours of google searches.

I now have an AT&T cable package that is an Android TV with chromecast built-in. I am able to easily stream content from my android phone/tablet to my TV, but when on the Chrome browser on my laptop and select the cast icon, it says "no devices found" despite being inches away from my TV.

All I want to know is if this chromecast built-in feature on my AT&T box supports laptop streaming, or if it is exclusively for android devices?

Is it possible that you have dual band WiFi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and your laptop isn't on the same band as the other devices?

Are you using vpn software on your laptop? That's always the culprit in this situation, and it happens whether the vpn is active or not. There is a solution that I will look up if you respond that you are using a vpn.
