Description
The new app on the Android platform has a significant issue where the Chrome-cast icon is missing, unlike in the old app. This issue prevents users from casting videos on their devices, negatively impacting the user experience. The old app includes a visible and functional Chrome-cast icon, allowing seamless video casting.
Steps to reproduce:
- Login to the new app
- Load any course with native videos
- Now connect the chrome-cast device
- After connecting the chrome-cast load the video
- Notice there will be no chrome-cast icon
Expected Behaviour:
After connecting the chrome-cast the native video should have a chrome-cast icon to cast a video

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through the listed login, course, device-connection, and video steps, then trace the Android app's native video and casting entry points; it is done when the Chromecast icon appears and allows casting after the device connects.
