tab/desktop cast doesn't work

dudvhs0604 — Fri, 31 Dec 2021 06:00:17 GMT

I want to cast my screen to chromecast in chrome browser, but cast doesn't work.

I tried several times, but screen is mirrored just first few seconds, and the screen stopped.

How can I cast my desktop screen to TV?

I have the same issue. I have a chromecast TV and a desktop computer I'd like to cast but no dice. It only mirrors the first 5 seconds or so and then freezes. I hope this post gains traction because I'm at a lost. Same wifi, updated firmware, decent hardware ... If anyone has any idea what we're missing, please let us know.

Hey there dudvhs0604,

I apologize about the late response, thank you for being patient on this! Were you able to fix that radio issue? If not, I'd be happy to help out, as I can imagine this issue is pretty frustrating to deal with. Let me just ask you some questions about what's happening:

When did this issue start happening?
What version of Google Chrome are you using?
Does this happen on one site in particular, or all sites?
What color is the LED light on the Chromecast when this happens?
What troubleshooting steps have you already tried?

I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know!

Best regards,
Jeran

Hey Jeran,

I'm sorry, I haven't tried it since. The issue was always there, and I've never had a successful run. I am currently running Version 99.0.4844.82 (Official Build) (64-bit), but I am not sure what version I was on when I was having issues casting. I've tried all available trouble shooting steps from this page: https://support.google.com/googletv/answer/10049912?hl=en

I've also tried it with Google Canary, no dice.

If I try again, I will post my results here, but I have since given away my Google TV because it didn't fulfil my use case.

Best,
Le

Hey there sitrusfruits,

No problem at all, thank you for letting me know! I can understand giving the device away if it isn't working out for you. If you do run into any more issues regarding anything Chromecast, feel free to create a new thread on it, and we can look into it faster than we did on this thread. I may lock this one in a couple of days if we don't hear back from dudvhs0604

Best regards,

Jeran.
