Casting zoom to Chromecast

My wife and I have been taking exercise classes at the local community college but now since C19 they're doing them online. I'd really like to see the instructor on something bigger than a tablet or chromebook. I have the little Chromecast dongle and can cast some other apps. Any suggestions?

You connect the chromecast to your tv via the hdmi cable and select the corresponding input on the tv, you should see the chromecast home screen.

Using a chromebook and the chrome browser to view your Zoom session select More from the top right then Cast then Cast To and select your device.

Similar solution from an Android tablet. It will be more difficult from an iphone. Google around a bit because I think it's doable.

You may be able to connect your chromebook directly to your tv if it has hdmi out. This would be simplest.

Buy a 4K TV with chromecast built in.

I was unable to cast Zoom at all but I hooked up with an HDMI cable and it worked. Interesting thing: when I hooked it up with the cable the Chrome screen showed up with icons and wallpaper but no app, when I closed the top of the Chromebook the app jumped over to the TV.

Thanks, the screen on that Chromebook is really small from 8-10 feet away.
