Chromecast under incognito tab

Chromecast allows us to connect our Smartphone, Tablet or Laptop with our HD TV so we can watch stuff we like on a big screen and together with everyone. It is very easy to use as all you have to do is just plug it into the TV and connect it to the WiFi. Now you can stream videos on your TV directly from the browser of your device. Many times we use the “Incognito Tab” for private browsing because page we view under Incognito tab won’t appear in browser and search history and also won’t leave cookies.

But many users are facing a problem that they are unable to use Chromecast under Incognito tab. So in this article I’m explaining that “How you can use Chromecast under Incognito Tabs”.

Why you’re unable to use Chromecast under Incognito tabs?

The reason is that every browser uses a Chromecast extension to send videos to the TV. In case of Incognito browsing, all the extensions are turned off by default. So all you have to do is allow the browser to use the Chromecast extension under Incognito browsing.

Enable Chromecast Extension under Incognito browsing:

Step 1: Open “Extensions” page on your Chrome browser

Click on customize and control button on the top right corner of the browser. Then go to “Tools” and click on “Extensions”. You’ll be directed to a page showing all the extension installed in your browser. You can also visit this page by typing “chrome://extensions” in your URL bar.Google Chrome Extensions
