With the Chromecast selected, you can use the interface as normal. However, if there is already something playing via Plex, you’ll see something like this with scrub, pause and volume controls If nothing is currently playing via Plex on the Chromecast, you’ll simply see that you’re connected: This will set the Chromecast as the device on which you want content played. You’ll see the Google Cast extension window open with a list of the detected Chromecast compatible devices that are available.

Google does not support casting from other browsers besides Chrome. Open our hosted web app (not the local/bundled web app that comes with your server).
Make sure your Plex Media Server allows secure connections (is not set to Disabled).
Chromecast also requires secure connections. It is not currently possible to cast from the Plex Media Player or Windows Store apps. In order to initiate a cast to your Chromecast device using Plex while on a normal computer, you’ll need to use a browser-specifically the Chrome browser. For instance, it’s possible to start the cast with one device and then connect to the Chromecast later from a completely different device to control the playback. When you use the Plex Web App to initiate a cast, the content does not go “through” that browser and then to the Chromecast.
It’s important to note that the Chromecast streams content directly from the Plex Media Server.
