Situatie
Google Chrome shows media controls when something is being cast on your Wi-Fi network. If you’re not the one doing the casting, this can be a little annoying, especially since you’re able to control someone else’s music or video playback without their permission. Thankfully, you can turn it off.
The Chromecast media controls appear next to the extensions in the top right of the Chrome desktop browser on Windows 10, Mac, and Linux. You’ll see an icon with a music note and three lines, and clicking it reveals some basic controls for the video or music being cast.
Unfortunately, the only way to prevent the media controls from showing up is to turn off a Chrome “flag.” It’s sort of an “unofficial” way to do things, but it can achieve the desired outcome.
Solutie
First, open Google Chrome on your Windows, Mac, or Linux PC. Then, type chrome://flags in the address bar and hit Enter.
Next, use the search box to find a flag titled “Global Media Controls for Cast.”
Select the corresponding drop-down menu for the flag and change it to “Disabled.”
After you change the flag status, Chrome will ask you to restart the browser to apply the changes. Click the blue “Relaunch” button at the bottom of the screen.
