Unable to cast all of the sudden. "To cast, give chrome access in system settings"

I'm unable to cast from my Chrome Browser to my Chromecast. I'm using a MacBook Air.

I keep seeing the error message "To cast, give Chrome access in system settings" but chrome has access already.

I have been casting to my TV for the last two years and this is the first time I'm seeing this message.

I updated my OS, Google Chrome, uninstalled it, restarted computer, removed access and reinstated access, and I'm still seeing this error message.

Anyone else having this issue?

just copy and past the link, you'll see the first paragraph (below). To it's right, where  the window says "default" - Change it to "disable". It worked for me!! 

Use the Network Framework for local device discovery on Mac

Use the Network Framework to replace the Bonjour API for local device discovery on Mac.  Mac

Well, using the disabling helped me to cast a tab on chrome but I still haven't found a way to cast my screen, it sends the signal but it's all dark and after a few seconds it disconnects =(
