Windows Spotify app does not find Vizio Chromecast speaker

[pdampier]

I have a Vizio Crave 360 Chromecast speaker.  With the Android and iOS phone Spotify apps they find and connect to the speaker and work well.  However the Windows app on my PC does not list it as a device under "speakers" - my other devices such as Amazon Echo and Samsung do show up as Spotify Connect devices but no Chromecast speakers are listed.

Can this get fixed in an app update please?  I am a Spotify Premium subscriber.

Hi 😃,

the Chromecast support is not implemented in the windows desktop app yet because Google hasn't published the tools to make it possible on desktop 😕.

But you can bypass this by starting the playback on your Chromecast speaker with your phone, then the Chromecast will appear on the desktop app too.
