Does this occur when casting from the website as well, or just the app? It's never happened from the website, only when casting from an app on my Android 5a phone.It just disconnected and the TV just showed the Chromecast background. However, last night, for the first time in like a week, I DID have a sudden disconnection, during playback of a video using the HBO Max app. I did uninstall and reinstall the Google Home app like a week ago, so maybe that did it? In the last few days it stopped happening (at least with the YouTube app).
