Google Home not casting but Chromecast set up!

HanaB — Sat, 28 May 2022 02:45:09 GMT

Help! My chromecast has suddenly dropped off my Google Home but still set up on my TV. I cannot cast. A reset to factory settings, reboot, restart, uninstall, unplug & cooldown have not worked. Any ideas?

Hey HanaB,

Thanks for reaching out — let's see what's going on.

A few questions: what's the app you're trying to cast using your Google Home to your Chromecast? What's the message you're getting when casting? Can you still cast manually using your phone to your Chromecast? Also, you mentioned you did a reset, did you do both of your devices?

Make sure your Chromecast and Google Home are connected to the same network and both are within 15-20 feet of your router. Make sure they're set up on the same home structure.

Thanks,

Alex
