Information
Microsoft Edge is a new web browser that is available across the Windows 10 device family. It is designed for Windows 10 to be faster, safer, and compatible with the modern Web.
Starting in Windows 10 Insider Preview build 10576, you can now use Microsoft Edge to cast video, picture, and audio content from your browser to any Miracast and DLNA enabled device on your network.
Cast media to device in Windows 10 is the new version of Play To.
This tutorial will show you how to use Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 to cast video, picture, and audio content from your browser to any Miracast and DLNA enabled device on your network.
Note
Casting protected content (content from places like Netflix and Hulu) is not supported.

The media casting functionality that was previously built into Edge has been removed in Fall Creators Update. There is a close alternative available that allows you to show Edge on a wireless display, so the "Cast media to device" menu option was retained and instead, it now opens the system panel for connecting to a wireless display. This system panel does not show Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)-certified devices by design because casting to DLNA from Edge is no longer supported.
We apologize for any confusion this has caused.
This tutorial is for the old legacy Microsoft Edge.
Here's How:
1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Go to a website that contains the media (ex: video, picture, audio) that you want to cast, click/tap on the More . . . button at the top right, and click/tap on Cast media to device. (see screenshot below)
Note
Microsoft has a few scenarios for you to try out:
- Cast a video from YouTube: Go to YouTube.com in Microsoft Edge. Click on the “…” menu and the top left, and select “Cast media to device” and select the Miracast or DLNA device you want to cast to.
- Cast a Facebook photo album: Login to Facebook in Microsoft Edge and click on the first photo in one of your photo albums to cast. Click on the “…” menu and the top left, and select “Cast media to device” and select the Miracast or DLNA device you want to cast to. Navigate through your photo album by clicking on the forward and backward buttons.
- Cast your music from Pandora: Login to Pandora in Microsoft Edge to get to your music and click on the “…” menu and the top left, and select “Cast media to device” and select the Miracast or DLNA device you want to cast to.
3. Windows will now try to connect to your network and detect your Miracast or DLNA device. (see screenshot below)
4. Click/tap on the Miracast or DLNA device (ex: TV-63C8000) you want to cast to. (see screenshot below)
5. Windows will now connect and cast to your Miracast or DLNA device (ex: TV-63C8000) . (see screenshot below)
That's it,
