How to stop broadcasting to Chromecast

[Dorothycamp]

Whenever there is a broadcast to the whole house, the Chromecast will play the broadcast through the tv. 

1. It interrupts what you are watching

2. The volume is at the tv volume so it's very loud.

3. It's very, very delayed.

4. There is a mini that broadcasts in the same room.

Please, how can I turn this feature off? I've been through every setting in the Chromecast and the home app.

Greatly needed options.

Hey there Dorothycamp,

I'm sorry about the late response, thank you for your patience! Normally for speakers and displays, you would go onto the Google Home app and turn on Do Not Disturb mode to mute reminders, broadcasts, Nest doorbell visitor announcements, and other spoken notifications. However, it seems like Chromecast does not have this option. I'd encourage you to submit feedback via Google Home to let Google know that you'd to see this feature implemented for Chromecast as well.

I'm sorry I couldn't have been more help, but if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know.

Best regards,
Jeran
