GoogleCast
Options for the Google Cast component that configures the receiver and load request
Adds Google Cast support to the player’s media. It renders nothing — place it inside the player as a sibling of the media element, and pair it with a CastButton. See Google Cast for how casting works.
Anatomy
import { GoogleCast } from '@videojs/react/media/google-cast';
<GoogleCast /><google-cast></google-cast>Register the element by importing @videojs/html/media/google-cast.

customData takes an object, so it’s a property only, with no matching attribute.
When the Cast src is an HLS playlist, Video.js detects the segment format and sets the receiver’s hlsSegmentFormat and hlsVideoSegmentFormat load-request fields. The Default Media Receiver plays HLS natively, so no extra receiver setup is needed.
