Mediaboss Marketing

The addition of Chromecast networknotifications probably seemed like a good idea at the time. They allow you to control media even if you aren't the one who started playback. However, you see those notifications on your device even if you're not watching or listening to the content, and you can end up with multiple cast notifications on a busy network. Google is finally making these notifications optional with a togglethat turns offall the network notifications for your Chromecast or Google Home.

Previously, you could only disable the notifications on a per device basis. So, each person on your network had to go into their Google settings and turn off the notifications. According to Google's Chromecast support page, there's a toggle in the Google Home app that can disable the notifications for all content at the network level. Casting to thedevice will no longer produce a media notification for anyone on your network. Here's how you do it... or how you will eventually.

Google seems to have jumped the gun a little adding this to the support page. No one on the AP team has this optionin settings yet, even those of us in the preview program. Give it a few days and the toggle will probably appear.

This seems to be live for everyone now.
