Facebook media cast

I used to be able to cast Facebook videos to my Chromecast. Now no longer able to. This started 6 months or so ago. Can still cast YouTube to Chromecast. Are Google and fb fighting?

Hi Pcaf716,

 

Thank you for reaching out to our community! I understand that you've been experiencing issues casting Facebook videos to your Chromecast for about six months now, while YouTube casting continues to work normally. I'd be happy to help with this!

To better assist you, I’d like to ask for the following information:

  • What's the specific model of your Chromecast device? Here’s a helpful article about how to identify the model of your device.
  • When you're trying to cast Facebook videos, do you still see the Cast button?
  • Were you casting directly from the Facebook app or through the Google Home app?
  • Are you experiencing this issue with other apps, or is it only Facebook?
  • Is your router within 15 to 20 feet (4 to 6 meters) of your Chromecast?
  • What's the make and model of the device you're using to cast?

In the meantime, I’d suggest the following steps:

  • Test casting a different app to see if the problem happens across multiple apps.
  • Make sure you have the latest version of the Google Home app on your phone, and that your phone's operating system is also up to date.

Please keep me posted.

 

Best regards,

Jenniffer
