Hello,

We would like to enable continuous play enabled on our chromecast applications so we would need Oauth 2.0 to grant us new access tokens when they expire. Do you have a application to chromecast flow or method to recommend ? 

Thank you, 
Jonathan

I'm thinking that all Authentication is done on the sender and just the access token and the refresh token are passed to the chromecast receiver? and from there there wouldnt be any communication with the authorization server aside from getting a refresh token?

Hi Jonathan,

Just what Ernie specified on his previous response privately, if you'll use our client libraries, then the access token will automatically be generated using the refresh token at the backend. However, if you are using other applications, you have to manually generate the access token on your end using the refresh token. As a general guide, you may refer to this link to read more about authentication of the Google APIs.

Let me know if you have further clarifications or if I misunderstood your concerns.

Thanks,
