When the H**L are you going to FIX the PROBLEM of the YouTube App Losing Connection with Chromecast?

When the HE*L are you (Google) going to FIX the PROBLEM of the YouTube App (on Android Tablets AND Chromebooks!) losing connection with Chromecast Dongles !!??? When the Tablet or Chromebook connected to a Chromecast dongle, and running YouTube, GOES TO SLEEP MODE, the YouTube app ALWAYS LOSES CONNECTION WITH THE CHROMECAST DONGLE!!! We have FOUR Recent Samsung Galaxy Tab A model Tablets, Three HP Chromebooks, ALL with the latest versions of the YouTube App, and it HAPPENS TO THEM ALL!! It is NOT our WiFi (a premium Cisco N, G, and AC, 2.5/5GHz model), I've restarted it several Times, and I've restarted / reset the Chromecast Dongle SEVERAL Times!! It happens with Ver 1 and 2 Chromecast Dongles.
NOTE: this Disconnect Problem NEVER HAPPENS with Amazon's Prime Video App or other Entertainment Apps that have Chromecast Casting ability!! Only **bleep** YouTube Casting to Chromecast and with me since YouTube UPDATES that occurred this last winter!!! There is clearly a BUG in the YouTube App! - This is the PROBLEM WITH GOOGLE, you have ADHD, and NEVER Maintain anything you create or sell!!

Footnote: I have been in IT and IT Management for 43 years, from IBM 400 Servers to Company Networks. I KNOW lousy Programming (coding) when I see it

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community. Based on your description, it seems that your Chromecast devices are working as intended. Kindly give our friends from the YouTube Help Community a shout. Users may have answers about this.
