Chromecast 2nd gen not visible

I have to keep resetting my Chromecast to get it to work. If I wait too long after resetting, neither apps nor Google Home can see it. Is there a fix?

Hi Joeldev,

Thanks for reaching out. I want to understand your concern further.

A few questions: Is the Chromecast already set up and connected to your network? What's the LED light status in your Chromecast (2nd gen) (solid or blinking white light)? Are you getting a message "No devices found" when trying to cast a video from a Chromecast-enabled app and does it show as unavailable in the Google Home app?

Try these steps:

Make sure your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast.
Move the devices closer to each other.
Reboot your Chromecast.
Reboot your router.
Reboot your mobile phone.
Use a different mobile device.
Reinstall the affected Chromecast-enabled apps and the Google Home app.

Thanks,

Jennfier
