Google Home won't cast to Chromecast

yahoowizard — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 17:21:00 GMT

When I tell Google Home "Play ____ from Netflix", it responds "Playing ___ on Living Room TV" and the TV turns on and it opens it to the Chromecast home screen but that's as far as it goes. I repeat the command, still the same thing. I can say "Open Netflix" by itself and only then does it open Netflix but it still takes forever to do things.

The Chromecast software is up to date and Netflix is linked to my Google Home app. Don't think I've gotten the Google Home to play anything on the Chromecast anymore for a month or two now and I reset the Chromecast at some point, too.

Does this functionality currently work for anyone?

Works here for me, usually this is a sign of a connection issue, try a router reboot to see if that clears it up!
