Hubs won’t work with any video app

[Nevergooglagain]

I bought 2 nest hub gen 2. Both will not let you open any video provider app, Netflix, YouTube etc. It tells me that I must choose the exact screen. Won’t add the streaming services I added on Google home for the device. It will listen when I verbally say “play stranger things on Netflix” but then will say it’s past maturity which is false. I had geek squad come and mess with it for 2 hours and they could not figure it out either. Don’t bother resetting it. We did it more times than we can count. Ultimately they left saying just buy an IPad.

Hi there,
 

Thanks for reaching out and for providing detailed information on your issue and the steps that you've done — these are of great help!
 

A few things: are you trying to play the video via voice command or via the app tray feature on the display? Were you able to play a video before or this is the first time that you are trying the feature? Have you tried casting from the Netflix or YouTube app? Check the steps below for guidance.
 

Cast from Chromecast-enabled apps to speaker or display:
 

1. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network or linked to the same account as your speaker or display.
2. Open a Chromecast-enabled app.
3. Tap the Cast icon .
4. Touch and hold the tile of the speaker or display you'd like to cast to.
5. When you're connected, the Cast icon will turn from light to dark gray, and will let you know you're connected.
6. You can now cast audio and video to your speaker or display from your device.
7. To stop casting, at the top of your device, tap the Cast icon . In the box that appears, tap Stop Casting.

Looking forward to your response. 

Thanks,

Juni
