Now the guest mode have been enabled and also the screen mirroring on all devices.. They don't work together though. Any solution to this?

What do you mean by they don't work together?
Guest mode was never meant to allow Cast Screen just allow devices who are not on the local WiFi to connect to stream content and play games (aka jump onto the Controller channel).
Since the Guest connection doesn't use WiFi (at least I don't think it does) it would never work for casting a screen.

That's how it work right now, yes you are right. But I whant it to be able to send screen to. I whant to be able to screen cast my whole screen using guest mode.

I'm interested for schools who has a lot of sub nets. And the chromecast will never be on the same broadcast domain as the client. Guest mode will make the cast thing work... But not screen cast

Domains don't really matter if it works the way I think it does....
WiFi must be unconnected and only mobile data is used in order for it to work.
And besides it is unlikely the school will allow guest mode to work as someone could hijack a CCast if they wanted.

1. Broadcast domains do matter.
2. WiFi should not be unconnected. This is already tested.
3. I'm responsible for a couple of schools IT department. And a couple of thousands of computer. And yes this is a very big question for us.

Then you are going to have to rely mDNS throughout all domains to be able to see these devices.
