It turns out that Chrome doesn't always stream its content straight from the Internet. When casting a browser tab through Chrome on a Windows PC, Mac, or Chromebook, you can open local files in the browser, and they'll stream to the big screen over your local network.
To do this, you can enter file:///C:/ in Chrome's address bar (or (file://localhost/Users/yourusername on a Mac), and then drag and drop the file into Chrome--or press Ctrl-O or Command-O--to show your system's file browser. Hit the Cast button either before or after you choose the file you want, and Chrome will play the file as long as it's compatible with the file's codecs
