Cannot cast to a specific app

Jennyshake22 — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 06:21:54 GMT

I have 2 Chromecast devices not sure which gen but I cannot cast anything from one particular app. I used to be able to with no issues. I did recently move and change internet providers but I am using the same wifi network for both my phone and the Chromecast devices. When I try to stream it literally starts for 1 sec and then goes away. My husband also had the same issue when trying to cast from his phone. I have tried most of the troubleshooting and nothing is working. Please help!
