How to Remove or Delete Chromecast Feature on Google Chrome

It is easy to cast or mirror movies, videos and other content from your smartphone or computer to a bigger TV screen with Google Chromecast. As long as you are using on the same WiFi network with another Chromecast-enabled device such as Chromecast with Google TV, you can send the content with just a click of the Cast button. The icon appears at the lower portion of your video playback.

However, if there are several devices in the same network you are using, it may create a risk of casting your videos on the wrong device. You may be watching a video and accidentally tap or click the Cast button. It will appear on an available Chromecast-enabled device. If you don’t want that to happen, you can remove or delete the Chromecast feature on your Google Chrome browser to be on the safe side.
