Doesn’t stream.

I’m trying to Stream to my Chromecast but all I get is the Xfinity symbol and saying ready to cast. But when I try to cast something it says it’s casting but no picture shows up on the screen And the app keeps just showing that it’s streaming. Xfinity you need to fix this!

I can definitely imagine the frustration behind the experience you're having, regarding the streaming option through your Chromecast device. Can you please confirm that the device you're experiencing this issue on is running the operating system, listed below? Thank you in advance, and I look forward to getting to the bottom of this with you!

@XfinityTyler I’m using an iPhone running iOS 12 or later. I tried multiple iOS devices with the same result.

Okay, got it; thank you for confirming, @robh56! Have you been able to successfully stream through this Chromecast device before? Can you also please confirm that your device is connected to your in-home network, and not the local XFINITY wifi? Can you also please provide me with the model of Chromecast device you're using? Thank you for going through these troubleshooting questions with me; really appreciate your time.

I'm  have the same problem.  Android  11, up to date on the xfinity streaming app.   Get the app says "Casting to TV" with three dots cycling and the TV screen says "xfinity stream (line 2 shows) the chromecast symbol Ready to cast".  I'm able to cast using Netflix and HBOMAX  apps.  Chromecast is 2ng gen.  I have  tried 2.4ghz and 5ghz.

I am having the same exact issues as those above.  What is the solution to this?  Every device I try is doing the same thing.  Every device is up to date and meets the guidelines for streaming.  Is there a solution and is xfinity looking into this issue?

Hi @user_7bf358

 

I appreciate you letting us know you are experiencing this issue with the Xfinity Stream. We’re aware of an issue affecting some customers’ ability to use Xfinity Stream with Chromecast. Please know that this is not an issue with our network; our network is functioning properly at this time. But there is a technical issue with the service provider which they expect to resolve this coming Monday. We’re monitoring the situation and appreciate your understanding. 

I no longer work for Comcast.
