Title:
  Configure Chromecast as monitor

Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.

  Resolution of a chromecast is most likely fixed and the option should
  therefore be ghosted.  But when configuring a screencast-to-Chromecast
  from the Chrome browser, an image-quality-vs-refresh-speed option is
  present, so a dropdown for this is necessary here too.   Remember to
  state the Chromecast device name so one can tell multiple chromecasts
  from another.

  I've added a screenshot to demonstrate the idea.

  I'm currently running Ubuntu 14.04, so I don't know if this has
  actually been implemented in 15.04.  But I haven't found any blogs
  describing it.
