Youtube wont cast to my xbox

LaneStokes · Mar 22, 2019

For the past few months almost every time I try to connect my phone to my xbox on the youtube app it doesn't work. It just gets stuck saying its connecting to my tv. But it never does. I can't find anyone else saying this. But it's so infuriatingly annoying.
And nobody has offered a solution. Actually both Microsoft and youtube have failed to respond to me on multiple occasions. I can't be the only one with this problem. And I've just resigned to uninstall youtube on my xbox. I couldn't be more dissapointed by
the lack of response on both sides.

I also have a similar issue, except my xbox one x no longer shows as a castable device. I have done the power reset, uninstall and reinstall and followed all bluetooth and network requirements. Still no luck. Please help!

Have you updated YouTube on your xbox and phone. Also try disconnecting accounts from your xhod and redoing the process to reset the whole thing

Hello LaneStokes,

Thanks for keeping us updated. Which troubleshooting steps, aside from the steps we provided so far, have been done for this issue? The option to

power cycle the console by holding down the power button on the console for ten seconds tends to resolve several issues. Also, uninstalling and reinstalling the application can help. This will remove your YouTube account from the application so you will
have to sign back in once it is reinstalled. We also recommend making sure your phone, and the YouTube application on your phone are up to date. We hope this helps!

They are on the same network, the bluetooth is on, and I did what you said exactly and still nothing. Actually it stopped playing on my phone, and kept saying it was connecting but it never connects. Same problem I was having, except this time the video
was still going or something. The time on the video was still going but it wasn't playing and it just kept saying connecting to xbox. Sometimes it works but most times it doesn't these days and I have absolutely no clue as to why.
