Question You Tube app's Cast icon missing.

[Madd62]

2 days now. Staying in a regular hotel chain for another few days. Worked fine this last week, as in the past, with a Chromecast 2 (newly re - purchased)

Tried all the fixes, it doesn't come back.
Others like : Patreon, Vimeo via browser, BBC iPlayer, Prime, Channel 4 here all still Cast fine so it's a YT app issue.
Cleared cache, exited app, restarted phone, changed my underwear, checked updates... the icon is not there on the main / landing page or when starting a YT video.
The WiFi is fine, the Chromecast works.

I guess I can try via the Chrome browser or my old Moto E6 when I get back to the room tonight.

I am addicted to several channels, so this is serious, folks!

Any ideas? Do you have the cast icon?
TIA.

(sorry if I don't respond quickly)

@ilyabyk83 :

Still no luck?
I'm on version 21.14.484

I don't think that fixed it straight away for me, and it changed a few things, but it seems good now.

Do you start up the Home app first?
I do though more to check the Chromecast is connecting to the phone

Is your account button / username initial at the bottom right now?

In Settings do you have a new option labelled Watch On TV.

I forget if you said which device you are using. I'm on Android 12 still, though I get occasional system improvement updates still.

That's normal -- it's to allow anyone to see what the OP was while replying on a later page of the thread.

Sorry for delay.. Uninstalling, reinstalling and again Uninstalling, and upgrade last final time. Seems to work for me.

Even "Add to Queue" when I click on a thumbnail comes on again. But, it doesn't if you touch a notification. Used to be there and here. They took both of the options away, maybe they'll bring back the rest..
