TL;DR
- Earlier this week, reports started piling up of Chromecast users unable to stream to their hardware.
- Google now confirms that it has resolved the issue behind this outage.
There’s arguably no single product more responsible for ushering in our modern era of TV streaming than Google’s humble little Chromecast. With a few bucks and an HDMI port, anybody could transform their dumb TV into a modern streaming marvel — or just sidestep their smart TV’s disappointing built-in apps. Recently, though, a concerning number of users have been reporting problems with streaming to Chromecasts, and we were starting to fear this was the end of an era. Today we’ve got some good news, though, as Google shares an update on the situation.
