Google Chromecast issues persist
March 12, 2025
Google has said it is working to fix an issue which has left many Chromecast users unable to watch content via their dongle device for two days.
Owners of second generation Chromecasts have been unable to connect them to their TV sets – meaning they cannot use streaming services such as Prime Video, Netflix and YouTube on the big screen, whilst Chromecast Audio devices are also facing issues.
Google has advised users not to try to perform a factory reset to affected devices.
In a post on the Google Nest support forum, the tech giant said: We’re aware of an emerging issue impacting Chromecast 2nd gen and Chromecast Audio devices, and we are working on a fix. Do not factory reset your device – we will keep you all updated when the fix rolls out. If you have already factory reset your device, we will provide instructions to set your device back up as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience”.
An article in The Register has attributed the device fault to “an expired security certificate”.
Google announced last year that it would be discontinuing Chromecast, replacing its popular device with a new Google TV system, but it said it would continue to support existing devices with updates.
