SplitCast

Split your screen and stream multiple tabs at once to your Chromecast Device

What is SplitCast?

SplitCast is a unique Chrome extension designed to increase your multimedia experience. It lets you display two or more websites in a single tab and stream them directly to your Chromecast device. With a plethora of features such as the ability to resize each window, automatic memory of settings, customizable screen layouts, and more, users can significantly enhance their browsing and casting. However, due to iFrame technology limitations, some websites might have framing restrictions or not function altogether. Despite this, SplitCast remains a free, versatile, and valuable tool for all Chromecast users.

In any case its definitely a decent option for people who want their screen to be split
