I'm not sure how you're casting over Bluetooth most TVs use WiFi direct

The official chrome browser has an option called "Cast" in their hamburger menu, chromium has it too if you can't bear to use Chrome but it's unstable

Gnomecast if you just want to stream video you've already got downloaded

If you're using it for gaming use the steam link/moonlight app on a Chromecast/raspberry pi/smartphone

You can also just use the steam link and then alt-tab. It just does a desktop capture.

adding to this good answer: you can also stream from vlc to chromecast
