Abstract
A single stream receiver is preselected from a global list residing on a client computing device hosting a content casting application. Once a user launches a content casting application and selects a content stream from local or networked storage, the content casting application accesses the global list to obtain the ID of the stream receiver to receive the content stream. The global list has at least one preselected stream receiver ID that will receive a casted content stream without the user having to manually select a stream receiver for each stream that is casted. The preselected stream receiver can be the last one that was used, or can be the last one that was used for a specified user, or the last one that was used for a specified application. The stream receiver can be preselected in some other way.
