Netflix Discontinues Casting Feature for Most TV Users
**Netflix Bans Popular Streaming Method for TV Users**
**Streaming giant Netflix has announced the discontinuation of casting shows from mobile devices to most TVs, leaving users needing to adapt to new methods of viewing content.**
Netflix has officially stopped supporting the ability to cast its shows from a mobile device to the majority of televisions and streaming devices. This significant change has taken many users by surprise, especially those who relied on casting features for a seamless viewing experience from their smartphones or tablets.
The announcement comes as a part of a broader shift in how users are expected to interact with their devices. Now, viewers must rely on the remote controls that come with their televisions or streaming devices to access and navigate Netflix. "You'll need to use the remote that came with your TV or TV-streaming device to navigate Netflix," stated Netflix.
Furthermore, users are warned that if their device has its own dedicated remote, casting will no longer be an option. “If the device has its own remote, you can't cast,” emphasized a representative from Netflix’s customer care team. This move is likely to prompt discontent among those who preferred the convenience of using their smartphones to control their viewing.
