Compare like with like
A receiver playing one live radio station does not establish that the same application can cast every podcast or catch-up show. Global’s FAQ explicitly limits this Chromecast route to live radio. If the icon disappears after switching to another content type, first compare that behaviour with the documented feature scope rather than resetting the receiver.
Check permission only for the relevant live-radio case
For iOS, the help explains that a declined network-permission prompt can hide the live-radio casting option. It identifies the device’s Local Network setting for Global Player as the place to review that permission. Changing it addresses device discovery for the supported route; it does not add casting support to content categories the FAQ excludes.
Keep the sending app identifiable
Record whether you are using Global Player or a radio brand’s application, the phone operating system and the item being played. A television receiving audio over Bluetooth is a different route from the application’s Chromecast control. Switching between them without noting the change can make a support comparison misleading even though both ultimately produce sound from the same speaker.
Choose an available listening method
If the desired podcast or catch-up edition lacks the documented cast route, use an authorised supported way to listen on the device you have. Do not assume a new subscription or unrelated account will add the missing control. Recheck the original FAQ if the feature later changes, since this article describes its wording checked on 4 November 2026 rather than a permanent technical limit of Chromecast.
