There are exceptions for older products, but Netflix wants to encourage you to use your remote control to navigate its UI.
Netflix no longer lets subscribers with recent Chromecast and Google TV Streamer devices share shows and movies to their TV from a smartphone or tablet. However, the feature remains for some older Chromecast products.
Netflix quietly rolled out the change in November updating a support page to say, “Netflix no longer supports casting shows from a mobile device to most TVs and TV-streaming devices. You’ll need to use the remote that came with your TV or TV-streaming device to navigate Netflix.”
The change was first spotted by Reddit users, with Android Authority later reporting Netflix’s official comments.
