Inlaws controlling my chromecast from 50kms away

LukeM — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 02:31:01 GMT

My inlaws who live FAR away, and can not possibly be connected to my wifi, are casting to my TV. They are not associated, or permitted as members of my "home" in Google Home. Yesterday somehow, they are able to override our Cast from AmazonPrime, and start casting Netflix to our living room... from THEIR living room Google Mini. WTF??

Isn't that beautiful?😀😀😀

Change Chromecast device settings and disable "allow others to control the Chromecast device".

Hey there!

We haven't heard back from LukeM, and it's been a few days, so I'm locking the thread. As always, feel free to make a new thread if you have any more questions or concerns.

Thank you for your help, djtetei!

Best regards,
