How to enable Chromecast Mirroring
1. You need to update the Chromecast application to the latest version (V1.7) to avail this feature (It may take some times to reach the update, alternatively go to the update page directly from here).
2. To enable mirroring, open quick settings menu (Nexus devices) and tap ‘Cast Screen’. Alternatively, go to Settings -> Display -> Cast Screen.
3. For other devices, simply open the slide-out “hamburger menu” in the Chromecast app, and click “Cast Screen.”
