** Description changed:

  THIS IS A KIND FEATURE REQUEST -- not a bug
  
  Under System "Settings > Displays" it would be really nice, if
  Chromecast devices were automatically detected and appeared like any
  normal monitor that is connected directly to the computer; ie. unity-
  control-center should  transparently allow the Chromecast device to be
  used as a secondary or even a primary monitor, configure mirroring,
  launcher placement, scale and everything.
  
- Resolutions of a chromecast is most likely fixed.  But when configuring
- a screencast-to-Chromecast from the Chrome browser, a image quality or
- speed option is present.  Maybe there should be room for this somewhere
- in the unity-control-center's "Displays" window.   Remember to state the
- name of the Chromecast so one can tell multiple chromecasts from
- another.
