Can't cast Youtube Music but can cast all other apps

Sabrina_G — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 13:57:27 GMT

Today my Chromecast Ultra stopped being able to cast YouTube Music but I can still cast YouTube. This is happening on both the YouTube Music Android app and the YouTube Music web on the Chrome browser, both can cast YouTube but when I try to cast YouTube Music the Chromecast Ultra displays the YouTube Music logo, a circle with a triangle in it. After displaying the YouTube Music logo it switches to a "something went wrong" screen and then switches to the default screen with the time-of-day on it. I've tried doing a factory reset of the Chromecast Ultra but that did not improve anything about this issue. I've rebooted the phone and nothing improved. Any ideas?

I am having exactly the same problem. Need a solution!

This is happening (1) on both my regular Chromecast and my Chromecast Ultra; (2) when casting from either my phone (where I've reinstalled both the Home and YouTube Music apps) or my Home Mini (even after a factory reset); and (3) after factory resets of both Chromecasts.

Tried on three different ways to use chromecast (my old one, a new one, and directly through the TV) all three failed with YT Musuc but everything else casts fine.

I just tried again and it started working.

Sorry, Google had a problem on Friday regarding casting YouTube Music. As you discovered, they fixed it the same day.
