Chromecast Plays Audio but No Video—Help Needed!

One time, I had audio only because I was mirroring the screen without realizing it. A little too much multitasking on my end! Maybe check your notifications related to casting.

Haha, I can relate! Sometimes it’s the simplest things we overlook. If nothing works, consider asking tech support!

Great idea! Another thing to check is the app permissions. Make sure the streaming app has permission to display video.

I’d recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the streaming app too. It can sometimes fix glitches that cause these audio-only issues.

I’ve experienced that! Make sure to check for updates as well because an outdated app can lead to issues with playback.

Honestly, it seems like Chromecast can be really finicky sometimes. Checking the HDMI connection can help—make sure it’s securely plugged in.

Good point! Also verify that your TV is set to the right input source; sometimes it’s just that simple.

What kind of device are you casting from? Sometimes certain devices can have issues with specific apps. It might not be Chromecast itself causing the trouble.

I’m using an iPhone, but I don’t think that’s the issue. I see no video on anything I try.

Have you checked your network connection? A weak Wi-Fi signal can lead to audio-only playback. Try moving your router closer to the Chromecast.

That could definitely be it! Sometimes I feel like the Chromecast is just playing hard to get. :smile:

Ultimately, if nothing works, consider reaching out to Google support. They might have additional insights or fixes for you!
