How to screen share easily with Galaxy Tab a8

I've looked it up and it seems that 'Smartview' now supposedly only works with Samsung TV's.

I'm trying to screenshare with a Chromecast connected to my non Sony TV.

I can do it with Google home of course, but there are so many steps to it.

I open Google Home, I select the chromecast, then it says 'your device might not me compatible' or somesuch so I have to confirm that, then there's like two or three more steps to actually get to the 'cast' button at the bottom left.

It used to be that it was one touch through Smartview, but now it's a pain. Is there a simpler way or an app that can get me screen sharing faster?

Hold down the power button and volume down :)
