Chromecast offline

My two chromecats have been malfunctioning since yesterday around 5 or 6pm EST. On both I receive the same message:”UNTRUSTED DEVICE

chromecast TV couldnt be verified. This caused be caused by outdated device firmware.” Unbelievable!! Please help Google. This is crazy to leave so many of us without service.

Hi everyone. So I have youtube tv. (That is what I really wanted to watch.). I was able to cast youtube tv from my Iphone through my Samsung tv. First, I had to change my network settings on my Samsung tv to wireless, then found my wireless network/router, chose it and entered my password. Then, I went to my youtube tv app on my iphone, pressed the chromecast icon and then chose Samsung TV (instead of one of my chromecast nicknames) and voila it worked. Google still needs to fix this HUGE problem with chromecast though! Good thoughts and good luck for everyone and hope you can at least bypass chromecast for now to be able stream your shows!

🙏🤞🏻☘️

Me pasa exactamente igual. Yo ya lo he probado todo y no hay manera de conseguir que funcionen.

The same happens here. I have the same message. It looks Google deactivated all Chromecasts to us by a new one. This is obscene, this is programmed obsolescence.

Agreed, this very frustrating. I don't want to update to a different model...I want the one I own to work correctly. How can YouTube not trust a Google device? Forcing obsolescence on us is a class action lawsuit in the making.

I have the same problem. Today I start the my Chromecast share from YouTube and the response is that my firmware is obsolete.

you can't deactivate devices without giving any information to users who have spent money over the years.

So this is a global issue? I’d like to locate a statement from google, or the google home app?
come on google you can inform us better than this.

i hope you can sort it and get them back online soon, or is the the new light bulb conspiracy?

Bob I don't know if that is a world problem, or related only to certainly devices. Yesterday my Chromecast was working fine, but today it's not possible share. The problem is from YouTue abd Netflix. I try to reset the device but in the next time I'm not able to reconfigure by Google home

Boa noite, infelizmente os dois Chromecast pararam de se comunicar com o smartphone, com a tv ele se comunica. Se isso que o Google home fez foi intencional, é muita baixaria, não deu aviso prévio, simplesmente bloqueou. Lamentável para uma empresa gigante como o Google.

Set the date on your device to before 08/03/2025 (e.g 07/03) and you will be able to reinstall Chromecast via Google home. You still won’t be able to cast as apparently it needs a fix from Google.

Hey Google people, an update could be a good Customer experience…. ?

I'm having the same issue, just stopped working out of the blue. Chromecast still boots up and goes into ambient mode but won't let me stream anything and shows offline on the Home app. Tried to restart the device, my router, my phone yet still nothing connects.

Same here. Thankfully, for me, these days it is background noise in my home. Until quite recently it needed to be essential availability for children I cared for. My heart goes out to those who need functioning connectivity, not this ridiculous hiatus in service.

If this is the case some honest information would be good, and maybe warning that my perfectly functional technology is about to glitch because someone decided this somwhow, and not because it is munted and needs upgrading or replacing. This kind of service does not encourage my loyalty.
