If you're a Chrome OS user with videos stored in Google Drive, you may be in luck. The latest Developer Update of Chrome OS now allows users to use ChromeCast to send videos stored in Google Drive from the Video Player app to a connected television.

All you need is a video stored in Google Drive (obviously), the latest Developer Update (the regular version won't work), a ChromeCast-conected television set, and the Google Cast Extension. So go ahead and give it a try, and leave a comment below and let us know how well it works.
