Audio Support?
Curious, is audio currently supported with Greenscreen? I set up the nyan test channel and noticed the audio isn't coming through.
Unfortunately, audio isn't supported!

That is unfortunate! Do you know if it's a technical limitation, or simply lack of support for the feature?
This seems to be a technical limitation -
Greenscreen uses a custom receiver, explained in the Google Chromecast js API here: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/custom_receiver
To keep pages dynamic, we use an iframe in each receiver. Because of browser security concerns, I don't believe that we would be able to trigger media events in the custom receiver using media from the content within the iframe. :(

Audio is working fine on my end. Just use a audio or even video tag. Audio comes out fine through the tv which is then routed to speakers
@doubleaa93, are you rendering a publicly available URL? If so, can you share so I can test?
@theaccordance , Here is a jsfiddle with a audio tag. Point one of your channels to it and test if sound comes out fine. https://jsfiddle.net/6uxc2cpa/embedded/result/ It just uses html5 audio tags
