>When you play a YouTube video on your device you have to tap the CAST icon below the video. <

I can see that icon on my PC, but not the tablet.

>They must be on the same network.Make sure there's no interference,

So far that's just two women and a dog!

Also you have to make sure you are using the latest versions of the apps - YouTube, etc... YouTube on my HTC One is 5.3.24. If you have something old it won't know how to "cast".

Not quite,

I have an antique version of the youtube app on my POS 2degrees smart touch silver because it has no space to update, and it is quite capable of sending to the chromecast. It doesnt seem to have as many issues as the new one on my note 3 does with restarting videos from the beginning when unlocking the phone and opening the youtube app again either.
