Turning off Chromecast default settings

It turns out that if you are using a Chromecast device the default settings notify all the Android devices on campus that you are streaming with your Chromecast.  To avoid having everyone on campus get these notifications  we need to change the default settings.

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Under the “Personal” section, tap Google, then hit the Cast media controls option.
  3. Turn the slider to the “off” position.
  4. To re-enable cast media controls, simply follow the same steps and turn the slider back to the on position.
