iPad stream to Chromecast

[Pinkhousewpg]

I consider myself fairly techie, but right now I am stumped. BTW this not Apple related, but here goes. I am trying to stream You Tube videos from my iPad to a Google Chromecast. For some reason the You tube video will not load uploading wheel spins and will not play. Anyone have any suggestions why this is happening and what can be done to overcome it ?

May I ask why you're trying to stream YouTube videos from your iPad to your Google Chromecast?

Presumably as the Chromecast is plugged into a TV and he wants to watch the YouTube videos on the TV rather than the iPad?

Is it just YouTube that's not working? Do you happen to have any other Chromecast-compatible app on your iPad, and if so, does it work?
There's been a while since I last used a Chromecast, but I remember that casting from YouTube used to work fine on the iPad.

I was using my Chromecast at the weekend casting the BT Sport app from my 6S running the latest software. That worked fine but i've not used it with YouTube for a long time.

Do you have the Google Home app installed? I had to install it for that to work.

If you're still having issues they doing a hardware reset on the Chromecast, you'll have to set them up again with the Google Home App. Every once in a while my Chromecasts act up, even with my Android devices.
