Chromecast won’t let you cast to it without being on the same network anymore.
A Google support document reveals the company quietly removed the guest mode feature that let users cast media to the Google Chromecast without being on the same Wi-Fi network (via 9to5Google).
The feature, which debuted nearly 10 years ago, let users not on the network connect to a Chromecast using a PIN either manually entered on their device or transmitted to it with inaudible noises.
