During the F2F, I took an action [1] to share data about how often users initiate presentation from the Cast extension [2] using the browser icon (in the browser toolbar), versus using a Cast icon embedded in the content area (i.e., in the YouTube video player). Based on our internal analytics, browser initiated presentation is preferred about 3:1, that is, about 75% of our sessions originate from the browser icon. Of those sessions, about 60% of sessions for our tab mirroring feature, and the remaining 40% are for flinging content from the site through the Cast SDK. Based on our experience, users don't have a clear preference between the two modes of initiating presentations, so I would conclude that the API should accommodate both use cases equally.
