#CastLab supports #FCast because it is an open source casting protocol, built as an alternative to Chromecast and AirPlay. You install the receiver app on a TV or computer (Android TV, Linux, Windows, macOS) and cast to it from CastLab.
Unlike DLNA, which depends on your TV, FCast can be installed on any supported device. Both are open and complement each other well.

#FCast - Casting made Open Source:

https://fcast.org/

"FCast is an open-source protocol designed to open wireless audio and video streaming to everybody. With support for various stream types like DASH, HLS, and mp4, it empowers developers to create their own unique streaming experiences. [...]Developers can create custom receivers, integrate the client protocol into their own apps, or even enhance the protocol, contributing to an evolving open ecosystem."

#Adblocker detection on #YouTube is working far too well rn so I've been using #Grayjay from #Futo and it's excellent. It can cast ad-free to any other device with #Fcast and Futo make a bunch of other awesome apps too. Grab that shit before they make it ilegal. https://grayjay.app/

@crft as a fun workaround, you can install #FCast on your machine, then cast #GrayJay from your phone to your #Linux computer. It's not a perfect or even nice solution, but I've been doing it anyway and it works well enough. It's also not #Google only, you can get it on #FDroid using the #FUTO repo.
