Some details on Google's new Chromecasts include the fact that Chromecast audio automatically works with devices that are on the home netwwork. And, there's a guest mode too. There's also an entirely new Chromecast app In the What's On section, you can see what's trending on YouTube, games that are live streaming on ESPN, and more. It's also easier to see all the apps on your phone that work with Chromecast within the app.
The New Devices tab in the new Chromecast app now has playback controls, too. So any device on your Wi-Fi network can be used as a remote control.
Search within the Chromecast app has been improved, too. You can use voice search to find a specific TV show. Once you select the show, it tells you which platforms that show is available on.
Last but not the least, Spotify will support Chromecast and Chromecast Audio.
