How to disable multimedia control in the browser?

Hello, I need your help. I live in a shared house and I see that I have a new button on my brave browser (a musical note)

…and when I click on it I access the device in this house (smart TV). The problem is that this TV is not mine. We are all connected to the same Wi-Fi network and I need to know how to delete that. I need to respect the privacy of others and for my privacy to be protected as well.

I hope you can help me, thanks

Wild guess. In a Brave Browser New Window, go to brave://settings/extensions

Search for Media Router

Specifically Media router enables cast feature in browser

DISABLE that. Exit / Quit BB. Start BB. Test issue.

I will also point out that normally, that kind of security measure is enabled on the receiving side ( the configuration of the smart tv/speaker/fridge/socks) but sadly the S in IoT stands for security, so they’re often shipped with very little privacy settings. Some of those even broadcast to the internet. :confused:
