How to Restart the Chromecast Device
Some issues on the Chromecast can be easily and quickly resolved with a simple device restart.
Restart the Chromecast Device
On the home screen navigate over to your profile icon on the upper right-hand side and select Settings.
Next, from the Settings screen scroll down and select System.
Now under the system list scroll down to the bottom and select Restart.
The next screen will ask you to confirm you want to restart the device. Select Restart on the Restart now screen. If you change your mind you still can at this point by selecting Cancel from the menu.
The amount of time it takes to restart will vary but it shouldn’t take more than a minute or two. You will see the Google logo while it’s restarting and once it returns you will be back on your home screen under the “For You” section.
The device may need a minute or two after it has restarted to fully come back online for regular use. After a few minutes have passed, check the device and if the issue persists, please reach out to the support team by submitting a ticket.
