Hello suesaner56,

 

Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear that you're having an issue with your Chromecast. Let's sort this out.

 

A few questions: what type of Chromecast device do you have? What's the LED status on your Chromecast? Does the issue occur while watching a video or even when it's in idle mode?

 

Give these steps a try:

 

  1. Make sure the Chromecast is plugged in directly into a power outlet and not on a power strip.
  2. Reboot your Chromecast.
  3. Plug in the Chromecast into a different HDMI port on your TV.
  4. Plug it in on a different TV screen if applicable.
  5. Move the device closer to the Wi-Fi router.
  6. Reboot your Wi-Fi router and mobile device..
  7. If the issue occurs while watching a video, please turn off any power or battery saving mode on and Disable and re-enable Automatic date and time and Automatic time zone on your casting device (phone, tablet, or computer/laptop).
  8. Use a different mobile device.
  9. Factory reset your Chromecast.

Let me know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

Jennifer
