Add the Composite Shadow Caster 2D component to a GameObject by going to menu: Component > Rendering > 2D > Composite Shadow Caster 2D, then parent GameObjects with the Shadow Caster 2D component to it. The Composite component merges all Shadow Caster 2Ds within this hierarchy, including any Shadow Caster 2Ds on the parent as well.
