Chromecast times out after a few hours

Neoteuthis — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 12:32:28 GMT

While using my chromecast to have TV on in the background, it will time out after a few hours and randomly stop casting mid-movie. Is there a setting somewhere to stop this?

Hi Neoteuthis,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Nest Community.

A few questions — when did the issue start? How long does it take before it stops casting? Did the video buffer or pixelate before it stopped casting?

Give these steps a try:

Reboot the Chromecast, router, and casting device.
Play other videos and try other supported apps.
Clear the data and/or cache of the app that experiences the issue.
Uninstall and reinstall the app that experiences the issue.
Turn off any power or battery saving mode.
Disable and re-enable Automatic date and time and Automatic time zone.
Check for system updates on the mobile device.
Try to cast from another mobile device.
Perform a factory reset on your Chromecast.

Thanks,

Jennifer
