Hi folks,
Thank you for your patience as we worked to resolve the issue with Chromecast (2nd gen) and Chromecast Audio devices. As of today, this disruption has been fixed.
If you did not perform a factory reset, your device should now function normally. If it is still not functioning as intended check the firmware version of your device by following the instructions here. If your device is not on the corresponding firmware version, please try rebooting your device to start the update process.

The app roll out has begun and may take a few days to roll out to everyone. We’ll post a confirmation once the roll out to all users is complete.

You have to keep updating Google home until it links. It took me about 3 goes.
03-16-2025 09:24 AM
Thank you so much. Muito obrigado!
Your suggestion got me prepared for Google update again.
When it stopped working the 1st thing I did was to a factory reset.

Hola. Acabo de recibir la actuación. Ya funciona.
Para los que han restablecido el Chromecast, el problema que tienen es que no lo pueden conectar a wifi. Solo tenéis que cambiar la fecha en el móvil. Poner una fecha anterior a 9 de marzo para configurar el Chromecast y así se queda conectado a la red wifi.
03-15-2025 06:45 AM
Perfetto funziona!!!
03-15-2025 07:48 AM
Pues si compartes como te ha funcionado, sería muy útil para el resto.
03-17-2025 08:03 AM

Yo lo he conectado a la WiFi, pero no descarga automáticamente la actualización. Solo veo las fotos de Google... temperatura y hora... no admite que se le envíe nada. Tampoco da mensaje de error. Como al principio de reiniciar estoy.
03-16-2025 03:55 PM
Queda instalado y configurado pero sigue sin conexión al wifi, x ende no le van a llegar las actualizaciones
