Google Home Devices Not Controlling Chromecast Anymore

[cfoxusmc]

In recent weeks, my Google Home devices with displays (two hubs and one hub max) have been rendered nearly useless.  They cannot control video on my chromecast devices anymore.  My mini speakers work just fine; this only seems to affect the hubs with displays.  It will go something like this:

Me: "Hey Google, play Encanto on Disney Plus on the Living Room TV."

Hub: "I don't know, but here's what I found on search."

or perhaps this:

Me: "Hey Google, turn off the Bedroom TV."
Hub: "I need to know where to play the video.  Please say the exact name of the screen."

Again, the minis work just fine; it's the hubs that are bugged.

Hi cfoxusmc, 

Thanks for visiting the Community. 

Since this thread hasn't had activity in a while, we're going to close it to keep content fresh. 

If you're still having trouble casting to your Chromecast using your Nest displays, please give these steps a try: 

1. Make sure your devices are within 15-20 feet of your router.
2. Make sure your devices are connected to the same network.
3. Reboot your router and devices to refresh the connection. 

If the issue persists, feel free to submit another post and provide as many details as possible so that others can lend a hand. Hope this helps! 

Best, 
Alex
