Request: replace Chromecast timeout with a screen saver

Revtim — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 23:30:37 GMT

Hello,

I hate how many times I have to re-connect after I pause content long enough for it to time-out and disconnect.

Please implement some kind of screen-saver, like, say, a very small version of the screen that it's paused on travelling around the screen. Or anything, actually.

I'm *so* tired of pausing a movie, then I have to reconnect. And many movie playing apps are not good at remembering your place. For example, I just disconnected from pausing a movie from Tubi too long, and when i reconnected it started playing it from the beginning, not from where I paused it,

Thanks!

Hey there Revtim,

I'm sorry about the late response, thank you for your patience! Thank you for submitting feedback on this! I know I have experienced this issue in the past as well. What I would recommend you do, if you have the time, is to submit feedback via the Google Home app to let the higher tiers of Google know.

I hope that helps, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know!
