Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Chromecast's ease of use, streaming capabilities, and picture quality. Many appreciate its affordability and the ability to transform a standard TV into a smart TV. However, some users experienced connectivity issues, and the lack of a physical remote control was a common point of feedback. The small size and generally positive performance were also frequently noted.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    For some odd reason, the only app I have trouble streaming to is YouTube lol. Seeing as this is a device made by google you would think it would easily connect to the platform they Created. Anyways, when I click on YouTube in my phone and hit “cast” it never finds the chromecast. Every other app on my phone works like a charm. I have one connected to my garage TV for when I’m working out and another on my deck TV. Both have problems with YouTube only.

      Hi Jason,

      Thanks for letting us know of this odd behavior you’re experiencing with your Chromecast.

      Since you were able to isolate that the issue is only with the YouTube app, here are some troubleshooting steps that could help fix it:
      - Confirm if the YouTube app version is up to date.
      - Uninstall and Reinstall the app.
      - Restart your router.
      - Unplug the Chromecast from the power source for one minute then plug it back in.
      - Restart your phone.
      - Try to cast from another mobile device to isolate if it’s a device issue.
      - Perform a factory reset on your Chromecast device:
      - While your Chromecast is plugged into the TV, hold down the button on Chromecast for at least 25 seconds or until the solid LED light turns into a flashing red light.
      - Once the LED light turns blinking white and the TV goes blank, release the button. The Chromecast will begin the reboot sequence.

      In case you need more help, please don’t hesitate to contact us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/contactflow madebygoogle

      Hi Stream, thanks for sharing your experience with us and we appreciate your feedback. Chromecast is a streaming device that uses all of your cast-enabled video streaming apps that are already on your phone and streams them on a bigger screen for a better experience. Which is perfect for people who would like to stream on with the use of only their phones. And if you have a Google Assistant, you can even enjoy streaming by just using your voice.

      If there’s anything we can help you with, feel free to let us know here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle
