Abstract:Enabling your apps with Google Cast is getting easier and easier. Millions of users press the Cast button every day to connect their mobile device with the best display in their homes. If you’ve wondered how this is done or are an experienced Cast developer, this session will take you through all the details.

Come listen to Kevin Nilson, Technical Solutions Engineering Team Lead for Google Cast, share these updates.
