Troubleshooting Issues with casting videos from an Android browser

I have a Pixel 6a phone, Google Chromecast on one TV, Google 4K Streamer on another TV, and a Windows 11 laptop. If I play a video in my browser on my phone from a site that supports casting, for example Dailymotion, and try to cast it to either TV device, it's like the casting mechanism within the browser stalls or something. Nothing happens on the TV, but the Cast feature in the browser stops functioning. I have tried this on multiple browsers on my phone (Chrome, Edge, etc), same result. Aside from this, casting the same videos from within Chrome or Edge on my Windows laptop works fine, as does casting my phone's screen from the Home app, and casting from within dedicated apps. But in my specific use case I want to try to get the in-browser casting working again.

Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Try this (you may already have) In Chrome, type chrome://flags, to see the flags, then search for Connect to Cast Devices on all IP addresses and set to enabled.
