Restricted mode while casting YouTube video

DarshanaShrivas — Sat, 21 May 2022 07:25:55 GMT

Hi All, I am trying to cast some YouTube videos on TV using Chromecast but it is showing restricted mode needs to be disabled on Chromecast. I can play the video on YouTube in my mobile phone but not on TV while casting using Chromecast. Could someone help me with this?

Is restricted mode turned on in your settings?

Open the Google Home app.
Touch and hold your Chromecast's tile.
Tap the settings cog > Notifications & digital wellbeing > YouTube settings.
Under “Use Restricted Mode,” turn off Restrict for me on this device or Restrict for unrecognized users on this device.

Hey there,

Thanks for providing some steps davidking.

DarshanaShrivas Have you tried the steps above? If the issue persists, try reinstalling the YouTube app on your phone. Uninstall and reinstall your Google Home app as well. Also, you can try resetting your Chromecast to its default settings.

Keep us posted!

Thanks,

Alex
