I've did a little research on this and https://www.npmjs.com/package/chromecast-api is not a browser version. It supports only pure node environment (needs tls and fs libs).

You could use https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-chromecast but:

• it works only on chrome-based browsers
• you need DEFAULT_MEDIA_RECEIVER_APP_ID

There is also an option to use Cast SDK https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/web_sender/integrate which is also available only for chrome-based browsers

Nice, those are good links to have, thank you! I think it's ok if it's chrome only and the react-chromecast library should work for us. Regarding receiver id, let's do something like

const cast = useCast({
  initialize_media_player: process.env.CHROMECAST_RECEIVER_APP_ID || 'DEFAULT_MEDIA_RECEIVER_APP_ID',
  ...
});
