CastingDevicePicker doesn't find the emulator

I want to stream video to the remote device in UWP C#. I use a MediaElement and CastDevicePicker. I did everything following the article - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/audio-video-camera/media-casting. CastDevicePciker doesn't find the emulator (screenshot - https://ibb.co/5sgLyq3). Ping to the device with the application is successful, and ping to the emulator is successful as well. So, I think that the Device with the application and the emulator is on the same local network.

What I am doing wrong?

I try to get a connection with the emulator, but nothing happened.

I use a Microsoft Emulator - https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/microsoft-emulator/9N0TN65P5BF6?hl=en-us&gl=us

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    This is expected behavior. Based on the document- CastingDevice object represents a physical device that is capable of supporting casting connections and rendering media content sent to it. When you are trying to use CastingDevicePicker to pick an emulator, it is not considered as a CastingDevice object. So the emulator is not listed. Please try to use a physical device to test.

    Thank you.
