Chromecast built-in, no more Ambient Mode?!

Vizio TV updated its software and now says “The Google Ambient Mode screensaver is no longer supported by Chromecast built-in”.   Is this just a Vizio thing or does this apply to all TVs with Chromecast built-in?

Hi putatohed,

 

Thanks for posting. The changes in the features and settings of the TV that has a Chromecast built-in are decided by the manufacturers. I would suggest that you reach out to Vizio for further help. You may contact them here


Thanks,

Jennifer

Hey there Kylejsjsjsjsjjd,

 

With Chromecast built-in being an open-source software, brands are able to modify the software as they please. It's a possibly Vizio may have deactivated the feature in a new update of theirs. Just like Jennifer suggested, you would need to reach out to Vizio Support to see if this was intentional or not.

 

I wish we could have been a bit more helpful, but if you had any other questions or concerns, I'd be happy to address them.

 

Best regards,

Jeran
