On my chromecast i have Google and Google Assistant disabled. I also have Projectivy launcher. I want to know how to degoogle it further, i am too scared to disable google play services because i don’t have aurora store here. I also replaced Gboard with a open source alternative. Any ideas?

Anything you can play with VLC is able to cast. If you use a client like NewPipe for YouTube, you can set it up to play videos externally with VLC

Not without unlocking the bootloader, which is locked up tight on all CCwGTV models especially since the OTA update to Android 12

I’m dead keen to know. Just bought one, but want to use it without giving google everything about me.

Or, is there a privacy respecting alternative?

I’m interested to know this too. Although mine are only used to stream YouTube, so Google isn’t getting anything new from the Chromecast.
