Day 13 Still No Chromecast Feature

Day 13 and still no Chromecast feature anywhere. Am I missing something? I've seen the app update multiple times since my last post, but I've searched everywhere for cast button but can't find it. Where is the button supposed to be located? I can cast to the chromecast with Google Home, but I would really love to use the Oculus casting feature.

However, the update may still be rolling out for some people so be patient.

Why can't we force an update? Why don't you publish the version level required so we know if we need to "be patient" or if we actually have the right version and it's some other issue keeping it from working.

EXACTLY what version of the software is required to cast Gear VR to a chromecast gizmo?

Samsung Galaxy S8+
Gear VR
Chromecast gizmo
Android 7.0
Google Home 1.23.35.2
Oculus 3.12.0.4.50

Do I have what I need to display my VR screen onto a TV via chromecast or not?

I got the icon yesterday. Here are my specs:

S7
Android 7
Android TV
Google Home v.1.23.35.2
Oculus 3.13.0.14.118
Oculus System Driver 1.6.2-60960672

If
I recall correctly, there weren't any updates the morning that I woke
up and found the icon there. (The 3.13 update happened at least one day
prior to the icon showing up if I'm remembering right.)

Is the in icon only visible when in the same network as the chromecast? 

I have exactly the same specs (only chromecast in stead of android TV) 

Edit:
It's working for me too! 
But there is no sound in game. I hear sound in the menu but when entering a game all sound stop.

Humm these are the same versions I have. I even updated my chrome cast last night as well. I tried all the suggestions I've seen online of starting something else casting first etc. Nothing seems to make the cast icon show in my app. I wonder if its less about a version and its like that other button they added that time where they roll out the enabling of the flag already built in in to the app in waves.

Maybe the add the option the same wat as Samsung deploy updates. 
So the option will be enabled to the phone a and not through software update.

Day 27.000015 still no Chromecast. I'm beginning to wonder if it was all just a dream or some crazy hoax. Maybe the pealing paint on the wall was a sign of things to come. That or maybe i'm just crazy just like father had always told me. I guess we'll just have to see now won't we...  😐
