Netflix ends wireless casting support due to declining usage

Netflix has discontinued support for wireless casting, citing a drop in usage as the primary reason. Meanwhile, Google continues to support the technology. This change aims to streamline the streaming experience.

Netflix has quietly removed support for wireless casting features, a move attributed to significantly reduced usage among its subscribers. The decision reflects broader shifts in how users access content, favoring direct connections over wireless options.

According to reports, the streaming giant's rationale centers on low adoption rates, which have made the feature less viable to maintain. In contrast, Google remains committed to advancing wireless casting technologies, potentially positioning it as a key player in connected device ecosystems.

This development comes as Netflix continues to refine its platform amid evolving viewer habits. No specific timeline for the rollout of this change was detailed, but it aligns with ongoing updates to the service.
