I'm trying Opera to see if it doesnt have the bug with casing that I see in Chrome (audio dies after 18 minutes castin tab or screen)..
The beta Opera 50 is supposed to support chroomecast, and is supposed to be enabled in the settings->browser->user interface section..

I dont have that selection there.. fresh load of opera, did a restore defaults on opera://flags.. no luck

Does someone know the magic to help me?
target machine is W8.1 coreI7 type

That feature has geographic limitations so maybe you are on a place where it's not available?

@mike-winslow I don't know the places where it's not available, just that there are geographic restrictions as said on the link I've posted.

@leocg I dont think that explains it.

If the feature is not available in the US, for example, then you will not see the settings to activate it.

@leocg I didnt see anything in the beta about casting restrictions.. Did I miss something ? Tell me - someone in the US - Do you see an enable cast in settings?
There's no reason to limit here in the US, that's crazy. I still dont see that as an answer..

@mike-winslow As I said, the info is in the comment by an Opera employee that I linked.

The restriction may be a limitation of the license.

@leocg that was chromecast and linux, and 51 not 50..

Noting in the release announcement to indicate any restriction..

So leo, or anyone in the US - when you go into settings->browser->user interface, do you have an enable chromecast checkbox or not? I cant believe that I'm the only one in the US to try a feature put into the public nearly a month ago..

I am running chromecast using this browser preety easily from the settings area. Possibly you need to uninstall opera clean the app data and then install it. Once you do that i hope there will be no issue. To stream media you can get help from here:-
