How can I cast photos and videos from an Android phone to a Windows PC? (no screen mirroring, have the PC act as a chromecast or similar device instead) (lemdro.id)

Hello, I'm looking for a way in which I can cast specific media files such as images and videos to a Windows PC.

The big problem is that everything I find only mentions screen mirroring. However, due to privacy reasons I don't want to mirror my screen, instead I want to send specific videos and photos (local and maybe also external such as youtube links) to the screen.

I thought I would find a software capable of doing this but haven't been able to find anything solid. Ideally it would work with Android's native casting options, but if that's not possible then it's also okay to install a client / agent /app on the phone as long as it supports casting specific media files and not mirroring the screen.

Thank you a lot <3
