Cromecast feature

Is it possible to cast to chromecast and be able to cast it to another device in a seperate room so multiple screens are playing. You know so we can all watch the same show? Is there a mod or some sort of developer code that can allow that. Because once it is cast to the tv I cannot watch it on my phone as well because I am casting from my laptop. If its possible could you create a casting app or feature that allows you to cast to multiple devices all at once. I think that would be super cool and helpful. 😎 not sure if it's really a 2nd Gen though how can I tell?

No, that is not possible.   You can only cast video to one Chromecast device at at time.

And, wow.  You have a 1st Generation Chromecast.  Congrats on taking such good care of it.

You may want to start considering upgrading.  The newer Chromecast devices have a lot stronger WiFi radios in them, are shaped so they don't put as much strain on the HDMI port, and have faster processing hardware in them.

But, if you're happy with yours, there is no reason to change.  The ONLY feature that you are missing is being able to include your 1st Gen Chromecast in a Speaker Group (for music playback).   Otherwise, Google has been very good about making sure all versions of Chromecast devices keep getting updated so far.
