Trying to change chromecast name. Can't see Device Settings

Bdcoll — Thu, 04 Nov 2021 14:38:37 GMT

Hi all,

I've setup my Chromecast just fine, but now I want to change the name of the devices so I can tell them apart. I've gone to Google Home on my Android device, but when I select which one I want to change, and trying to go to it's Device Settings ( The little cog icon ), I'm unable to do anything with it. The whole page loads but is just blank to me, making it impossible to edit anything on the chromecast.

Has anyone had this before and been able to solve it?

Thanks,

The only time I've ever seen that is when there's been connection issues with the Chromecast and the Wi-Fi network. Suggestion would be to reboot your router as well as the Chromecast and see if that clears up the issue.
