My room mate has Chromecast and I want to watch porn in peace

My room mate has Chromecast and I want to watch porn in peace.

How do I block my laptop and phone from his device so I don't accidentally broadcast something someday,

You let him know that you want to watch porn in peace. He'll understand.

Just disable the chromecast extension while you're watching porn.

It's on his TV in his room, I can't.

Neither or us wants that.

I need a way to stop my phone or laptop from broadcasting on his device.

Stop using Chrome to watch porn.

Then he'll know!

Invite him to join you. Porn is meant to be shared.

Fucking firefox has the icon too!

This little fucking box is literally the illuminati and I want to watch my damn porn!

The browser extension, you tard. Unless you're actively streaming to the chromecast, he won't see it.

If you're not willing to disable the extension, you'll have to write a program or wait until one become available, which is unlikely.

>I can't
He's talking about the browser extension on your laptop, but you neglected to include your phone in the OP, on which that method won't work.

I'm 100% willing to disable the extension, how do I do that?

Computers, how do they work?

Don't click the cast button, nor any of the confirmation dialogs

there you just avoided casting accidentally

Well, if you want to keep your mom from seeing what porn you're watching, you should move out and get your own internet, or just remove all chromecast capability from your devices.

click the 3 dots on the upper right, click settings, extensions is on the left, find the chromecast, click on it, click disable.

Plenty of easy instructions on google. It's a search engine that provides you with websites and information based on keywords you type into it's search box.

Google it you lazy cunt

Google that shit, you potato. I'm not doing the work for you, you lazy piece of shit.

>I need a way to stop my phone or laptop from broadcasting on his device.


Don't complete the several clicks you need to do in order to cast then. He can't just randomly decide to spy on you.

I don't think you know how a chromecast works.

Thank you user, a gentleman and a scholar

>I don't think you know how a chromecast works.
This.

No, he is someone who helps retards do things even retards can do without help

My ex wife's little brother was a potato, guess I'm still in tard wrangler mode.

I wonder how OP managed to get through life without knowing any rudimentary ideas on how computer software works.

I can only imagine that he comes here and other sites asking people how to do anything he doesn't understand and constantly asks for the source of an image or video clip overlooking the thought of using a search engine for it's intended purpose. The population of people on the internet are his only means of searching anything, and if no one feeds him what he's looking for, he's out of luck.

I wonder how people like this get by in life.

>guess I'm still in tard wrangler mode

>was
He got better?

I wouldn't know. Haven't spoken to her in a couple of years.

Did she divorce you because you reminded her of her brother?

/thread

just don't click on the icon, select the streaming device, and accept casting.

What you're asking is the equivalent of wanting to disable the power off function so that you don't turn your computer off accidentally.

just. don't. click. cast.

Similar situation here. You don't have to be connected to the same network to broadcast on a chromecast (it can detect your location) so if you do broadcast something, act like you don't know and say it's someone from another room or from outside doing it.

thats only in youtube party mode

which is not on all the time by default


why does nobody know how chromecasts work

use firefox duh

I've used it for years now. It works like this on a lot of apps (e.g. sometimes when walking around the icon appears on Spotify, even though I'm not connected to any network - it's detecting somebody's chromecast) not just youtube

nah

It doesn't work that way. You need to be on the same network and select the Chromecast icon.

to rephrase:
You need to be on the same wifi or you won't see the magic button that sends it to be judged by the gods of the TV.
