You used to be able to set them up from the Chrome browser, back when Chromecast support was implemented via a browser extension and not baked in.

They completely gutted Chromecast support in Chrome quite a while ago, you can't even adjust the playback volume from your computer any more.

I wonder if they had to gut it due to the Sonos suit.

the volume adjustment feature disappearing was definitely in response to the sonos lawsuit
