Is it possible to cast YT video from the browser to SmartTube on tv?

Hi, while playing with the cast option in the browser, I noticed at some point that the name SmartTube was displayed under the name of my Android TV (nothing was played on tv yet), in place of the inscription "Available". As if the browser somehow detected the installed SmartTube on the TV and was ready to run a video from the current YT page using SmartTube. Unfortunately, I didn't use this option and went to update various applications on the TV and closed that YT page. Now I don't know how to recreate it. On the YT website with the video, after clicking Cast, a TV list appears by default and selecting the one with SmarTube installed opens the video, but in some default YT mode/application on the TV (official YT app on tv is forced stopped), not in SmartTube. Is it possible to cast YT video from the browser to SmartTube on tv or was it just me?

You can't add the SmartTube as a device in youtube website. There (on the YT website) is no such function as before. It is still in the app, but not in the browser. Or I didn't understand something.
