Chromecast change a device name

[Anonymous]

I am trying to change a chromecast device name. When I access the device there is no gear (settings) option available.

Hi Bzonsius,

Is your Chromecast connected to your network? Reboot your network, phone and Chromecast.

If you can't get the gear icon to show you can do a full factory reset and rename your Chromecast that way.
