I deleted my home which removes all devices as it said it required activation but obviously it cant be activated because the app doesnt work. It now tells me to go to help center
At the home center it tells me to install the untilitys app which is obviously already installed. The chrome cast corresponds now the device is installed and now im fucked because of this retarded app. Not only that but it didnt connect my wifi
Your tips on Chromecast worked perfectly for me. I really appreciate you and others like you that take the time to share your helpful hints to solve everyday problems. Thank you, RLSD
Didn't find what I was looking for. In my cellphone I can see the cast icon, press on it and it start the "connection" but never actually cast to my TV. I'll ready restarted, rebooted AND factory reset the chromcast. Nothing helped. Any tips o advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
@melcatsss I found the solution. I bought a wifi/signal extender and...problem solved. For some reason, the Chromecast is the only device in the room that doesn't get good wifi reception 😑 Now, with the signal booster the Chromecast says "Connection: excellent" instead of just "good" as it was before. I hope this helps you and others.
I have 2 equal chrome casts that both worked yesterday and the preceding 5 years with any app on my smart phone. Today none of the apps connects to either chrome cast. However with the Google chrome browser I can access both chrome casts and stream content. Whats your take on that?
I wont lie. I had a chromecast inactive for 2 years as i changed wifi company. I watched this video until it mentioned to press the famous factory reset button. BOOM & BINGO!!!! Thank u kindly
I have been streaming from my PC for 4-5yrs now with Chromecast, I just bought a new TV and now it only runs for 5sec then stops on all TV's I send it to. Any Advice? Thanks
Thank you for the video. I can cast to UA-cam fine, but the device will not show up on Google Home, so I can’t rename my device. Do you know why it would not be showing up on Google homes, but still be able to cast?
This really did work, and I gained additional functionality with the Tablo as well. Now, things appear to be seamlessly working. And, thanks for the Ethernet connection info; I had no idea, and will be getting one on the off-chance I'll need it later. Any idea if it is just the wireless capability that gets hosed? Stated another way, is it possible that hard wiring will solve/reduce the occurrence that it's all hosed up? Because it takes about 15-20 minutes (sometimes) to reboot both the local appliances as well as the internet connection (dedicated wireless via central tower). If I can avoid all that time (especially if the spouse has requested we watch something), it would be wonderful!
Strangely my 3 gen Chromecast works fine, but my new google tv chromecast cannot stream movies from vlc on my mac. I swapped back to the 3rd gen and that still works perfectly. Why is that?
I just installed my 3rd ChromeCast HD at home on a living room TV & I notice that when I go to Settings & Pull up my Google Account logged into the ChromeCast where my Account Picture is ….It does NOT Show my Name & in Various Settings like selecting (About) to see if my Unit is up to date … it won’t show me the Full Message on Screen ….it shows a message with Missing Letters ….What’s going on & how do I Fix this Issue ??? Please Help …my Signal Strength is Excellent & No Issues with being connected to Home Wifi or Streaming on TV from this Device ??? Thanks for Ur Help
My Chrome cast with Google tv has no signal, When I first plug the Chrome cast in with the adaptor cable, the Google logo appares for around 10-15 seconds before going off and saying no signal, I've tried a reset 10 + times and that doesn't do anything and also tried multiple hdmi ports. Any suggestions?
I have had mine with Google TV for about 2 years and sometimes the entire screen will be colored in green. Everything is there and it's connected to my wifi but everything is tinted in green. I have no idea why. I unplug the device and plug it back in and sometimes it's still green and sometimes it's fixed. Do you have any idea why it would be doing that? Also I can't keep my soundbar connected even when I turn the TV on and off. The soundbar is LG and so is my TV.
From my computer, UA-cam works with Chromecast, my favorite porn station works with Chromecast, but for some reason, Amazon Prime does not connect to Chromecast. It did once upon a time, in the past, but not now. In fact, Originally, that is how I watched all Prime videos projecting from the computer to the TV via Chromecast; but now it doesn't connect.
My chromecast works perfectly fine with my Tv's and used to work fine with my projector, but recently it will just load up to the initial "G" screen then go blue. I've got a new projector, tried to reset it and it will not work on either projector but the tv's still work just fine.
I'm not sure if it's the right terms in English, but it's telling me something along the lines of "limited access doesn't allow the streaming of this video". But I have limited access off on all my devices
The main problem that I have with mine is that the app shows a gray screen saying not connected to internet. After I unplug it and plug it back in it starts working again.
Got a first gen worked great no problem then I moved out of state now it won't connect at all. Thinking it's time to upgrade.. just curious as I only use this a couple times a month to watch hockey or stream yellow stone.. probly just user error but connected fine to wifi just won't do what it did before the move.. seems like Google is just saying buy my new shit.. but my old one should work fine
Not working suddenly it shows this. Can't see Basement TV on this Wi-Fi network. Check that it's online and that your phone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network. But same wifi
“Get a new chromecast”, the cynic in me thinks that’s more than a flippant comment. Gen 2 unit became complete unreliable for NO apparent reason; same kit, same location; same network…everything. So bought Gen 3, absolutely fine for a couple of years now…same issue. You think Google thinks it time for me to buy yet another one?! Either they want me to buy ANOTHER one, or it’s just JUNK!!
I'm getting that same issue. It's keeps disconnecting and reconnecting on its own. Sometimes it dosent reconnect and I have to manually connect it then it disconnects on its own. So annoying
Guys,I need help! My internet is working, it went through the new updates and it got connected,but it just stays on 'network connected' and it just keeps refreshing this on the screen and it doesn't continue after that...Help!!!
Listen, I’m not here to bust on your video. I’m just here to say I just went from Google Chromecast to Roku. If I knew, then would I know now I would never have gotten Google Chromecast. I’m just saying. You all stay blessed like I know you are.❤️📖🙏🏻❤️!
After being told to disconnect for it to move to the next prompt, I manual connect. It tells me it cant connect and continue after being told to retry, failed, retry, failed, retry....you see where this is going but obviously theres a conection there before I break in and then chromecast starts uploading info and restarts. Now its saying its almost done. Youve got to be joking. Now ive got an upgraded screen with time and weather
I recently got a new router from my ISP the new router has Wifi 6 on it, but other than that I believe that's the only difference. When I try and cast something It'll attempt to connect but never actually connects. I can see the devices in my cast list, but can't successfully connect (all the time). Sometimes it will connect other times it won't. I've noticed while it's spinning and trying to connect if a toggle on and off my wifi on my phone I can often get connected to the Chromecast after that. My wife on a different phone has the same issue and the same trick with the wifi helps with connecting (doesn't always work). When I got my new router, I modified the default SSID and password to be the same as my old router, so as to not have to re-connected all my devices. To me this clearly is a wifi issue. Verbal casting from my google homes to Chromecast works fine every time just not casting from a mobile device. Any advice!?
Ive done everything but replace items. But this issue happens with my chromecasts and google home minis all over the house so doubt they all crapped out at once. The issue is intermittent. When I unplug power to the chcromecast and reset it works fine for a bit.
My newest Chromecast with Google tv has nothing but a black screen with a G ,..nothing else. In my opinion but waste of 50… do you suggest a better product? HELP!
Same story here since yesterday. I dont know what happend e i dont know how to solve. Trying the hardreset pushing the botton on the device, but apenrently do not change at all
I have multiple Chromecast speakers around the house ranging from Nest Mini's to Google Home speakers and a Chromecast Audio. The Chromecast Audio is connected to the stereo and provides the best sound so I set it as the default device for music and audio. I don't have the Audio on all the time, only when listening to music. I noticed the other Nest speakers weren't responding on the first command and I had to repeat myself 2 or 3 times for it to respond. Turns out Google home doesn't like it when the default speaker is turned off so I switched the default back to the Nest Mini in the kitchen and everything came back to normal. Hope that helps someone!
6 tips............ the tip I need is the connection to a new router "but you do that through your google home app, but I'm not going to go through every minute bit of the process" ETC which is what I wanted to do but don't know how and you skipped it. So what was the point of this???
@sigmaeit 1 second ago 😡I Lost this device (4K) months ago after online google update( Already tried all what you explained on this video) - only freeze on colored (G) with no any response from its reset button !! same case found on google support forum ( Thousands Cases) with no any solution from google !!!!?? I think I'll throw it away and order another brand .. many thanks google
Lmao just update the password through the app, the same app which isn't connected to the device because the device is on a different network. This is so ass backwards.
My chromecast just went completely black, nothing works at all… it just died. Wasn’t even a year old.
I deleted my home which removes all devices as it said it required activation but obviously it cant be activated because the app doesnt work.
It now tells me to go to help center
At the home center it tells me to install the untilitys app which is obviously already installed.
The chrome cast corresponds now the device is installed and now im fucked because of this retarded app.
Not only that but it didnt connect my wifi
Your tips on Chromecast worked perfectly for me. I really appreciate you and others like you that take the time to share your helpful hints to solve everyday problems. Thank you, RLSD
The home app can't see my device...
I can cast to TV etc
but home app is crapoo
Me too.
The factory reset using the button on the chromecast device worked perfectly thank you.
Didn't find what I was looking for. In my cellphone I can see the cast icon, press on it and it start the "connection" but never actually cast to my TV. I'll ready restarted, rebooted AND factory reset the chromcast. Nothing helped. Any tips o advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
I need this advice too!

Mine says something about different country, Was working perfectly yesterday?
Also AP isolation??
Thanks a million! Our router needed a reset as you suggested. Now our chromecast is working again!
I have 2 equal chrome casts that both worked yesterday and the preceding 5 years with any app on my smart phone. Today none of the apps connects to either chrome cast. However with the Google chrome browser I can access both chrome casts and stream content. Whats your take on that?
This solved my problem! Just needed to do a factory reset. Thank you! 😊
I wont lie. I had a chromecast inactive for 2 years as i changed wifi company. I watched this video until it mentioned to press the famous factory reset button. BOOM & BINGO!!!! Thank u kindly
W man I just helped my parents your the goat ❤
Hi need help, my chromecast not recognised my iphone and my laptop but it’s working on my daughter’s phone. Any solution? Thank you
Thanks Craig. You brought my long struggle with this branch of technology to a close!
I have been streaming from my PC for 4-5yrs now with Chromecast, I just bought a new TV and now it only runs for 5sec then stops on all TV's I send it to. Any Advice? Thanks
Thanks; your 2nd idea regarding password really work.
Thank you for the video. I can cast to UA-cam fine, but the device will not show up on Google Home, so I can’t rename my device. Do you know why it would not be showing up on Google homes, but still be able to cast?
I appreciate for the video. It really helped. Your the best man .
Thank you so much it worked!!!! I am so happy. I was about to use my laptop instead of my Google Chrome cast but thank you so much. God bless you.
This really did work, and I gained additional functionality with the Tablo as well. Now, things appear to be seamlessly working.

Hi. I have a first generation chrome cast. Can I add google tv to it? If so how.
Thank you. So easy to follow your instructions.
And very helpful tips! And they will actually apply to almost all of the major streaming devices on the market.
My Chrome cast with Google tv has no signal,
When I first plug the Chrome cast in with the adaptor cable, the Google logo appares for around 10-15 seconds before going off and saying no signal,
I've tried a reset 10 + times and that doesn't do anything and also tried multiple hdmi ports.

Me too
Mine worked until I got a new router modem. it finds it but says there's no Internet,??? first gen, did reset it ,same issue,?
I can connect to chromcast,but certain videos get this message...Default Media Receiver and won't play. Please help.
Cheers
It’s been 2 days and you solved the issue. You are The Man!!! 😃 Thank you!!
Any advice on how to get the onscreen keyboard to work? It appears to be frozen and won't allow me to toggle down to select the keys
Thanks, it works for me when I rebooted the router ❤
Restart from the menu worked. Thank you
I have had mine with Google TV for about 2 years and sometimes the entire screen will be colored in green. Everything is there and it's connected to my wifi but everything is tinted in green. I have no idea why. I unplug the device and plug it back in and sometimes it's still green and sometimes it's fixed. Do you have any idea why it would be doing that? Also I can't keep my soundbar connected even when I turn the TV on and off. The soundbar is LG and so is my TV.
Reset button on the Chromecast wasn't working, so I unplugged the power cable and plugged it back in. Like magic. All my apps work again.
I did factory reset; but, when I tried to connect through google home by using ‘add’ button, it’s not recognising??!!!!
Thank you! Restarting it worked for me 😊
Thank you and God bless, chrome cast working again.
Thank you, the reser worked!
My sound on mine goes down just about every other day and I have to reset it. Is that normal?
Off topic, is this new Fire TV cube as powerful as the Apple TV 4K?
Mine jumps timestamps or loops when I cast from certain sites like gomovies. How do i fix it?
Thanks for the tips

i have chromecast 4, i dont have the remote control and cant set it up with the app. the divice doesnt appear on the app. anyone can help me?
My chromecast works perfectly fine with my Tv's and used to work fine with my projector, but recently it will just load up to the initial "G" screen then go blue. I've got a new projector, tried to reset it and it will not work on either projector but the tv's still work just fine.
Full reset on gen 3 after you hold the invisible button down process , pull out the usb or no reset l found .
I also noticed this with my fire stick every couple of days the sound starts to be lower and lower and I have to reset it and it gets back to normal
Mine is new. Chromecast TV is set up fine. Literally just won't cast from my phone even tho set up in Google Home.
You are the best!
I'm not sure if it's the right terms in English, but it's telling me something along the lines of "limited access doesn't allow the streaming of this video". But I have limited access off on all my devices
Thank you so much ❤
getting error a-2006 on my chromecast when streaming live sports on my csport app in the caribbean..
Mine just keeps flashing connected any help?
The main problem that I have with mine is that the app shows a gray screen saying not connected to internet. After I unplug it and plug it back in it starts working again.

I have the new one with the remote but cant turn the tv off the remote
Thankyou so much I thought it was broken aha 💗💗
Omg... I forgot to change my internet under chromecast not my wifi....perfect
Not working suddenly it shows this. Can't see Basement TV on this Wi-Fi network. Check that it's online and that your phone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network. But same wifi
That would make me feel silly if the issue is my foggy brain forgot that I changed the password.
The HDR option is unavailable on mine. Only SDR available. Any idea how to fix it? 🙏🏻
The version of your tv is old
my chromecast google tv is stuck at google tv logo and won't finish booting
“Get a new chromecast”, the cynic in me thinks that’s more than a flippant comment. Gen 2 unit became complete unreliable for NO apparent reason; same kit, same location; same network…everything. So bought Gen 3, absolutely fine for a couple of years now…same issue. You think Google thinks it time for me to buy yet another one?!
Either they want me to buy ANOTHER one, or it’s just JUNK!!
It was working fine then said that my device isn't enabled. Was working then cut off and says this when I try to cast
Nothing you say works for me man!!! It work very fine a few days ago and then is not connecting to the wifi anymore...
I'm getting that same issue. It's keeps disconnecting and reconnecting on its own. Sometimes it dosent reconnect and I have to manually connect it then it disconnects on its own. So annoying
I fixed mine by enabled client to client forwarding on my router
I get the home screen but Applications do not open
each time i try to cast i see ''Clappr'' and my phone stream nothing
Guys,I need help! My internet is working, it went through the new updates and it got connected,but it just stays on 'network connected' and it just keeps refreshing this on the screen and it doesn't continue after that...Help!!!
Listen, I’m not here to bust on your video. I’m just here to say I just went from Google Chromecast to Roku. If I knew, then would I know now I would never have gotten Google Chromecast. I’m just saying. You all stay blessed like I know you are.❤️📖🙏🏻❤️!
I can't do anything it turns off after 10 seconds and it's brand new
Mine won't allow me to install apps it's the Google TV one HD
After being told to disconnect for it to move to the next prompt, I manual connect.
It tells me it cant connect and continue after being told to retry, failed, retry, failed, retry....you see where this is going but obviously theres a conection there before I break in and then chromecast starts uploading info and restarts.
Now its saying its almost done. Youve got to be joking.
Now ive got an upgraded screen with time and weather
The only thing that works on mine is the mute button and the tv power, which, for some reason, mutes the tv.
For people who don’t know what a router or modem is I wish you’d shown one.
I recently got a new router from my ISP the new router has Wifi 6 on it, but other than that I believe that's the only difference.

Error code io unspecified what the hell does this mean
Had too factory reset it, adding a file browser messed up the apps that were already installed
Did the same exact thing😅
Thank you
Others phones in the house are connected but my other phone just stopped connecting.. nothing is working 😭

This thing is asking me for my phone password, my password is 5 digits, and it only accepts 6, so... I'm lost and nobody seems to talk about that...

My chromecast can't sign into my google account
My phone can find cast destination but won't actually cast to it. My laptop works fine.
God i wish idve known this a year ago
