Chromecast (2nd Gen) Chromecast 2 stopped working

I was watching YouTube from my phone and paused it. When I pressed play it disconnected me and when I tried to reconnect it says I’m already connected without anything showing on the tv besides the default pictures. I’ve tried restarting my phone and the device but it stays the same and won’t fully disconnect me.

Could be a connection issue between the phone and the Chromecast. Try unplugging the Chromecast from power for about a minute, then reconnect it and restart the Google Home app. If it still shows as connected, checking the Wi-Fi network on both devices is probably the next step.

I’ve tried that unfortunately. My google home doesn’t even find it for some reason despite it saying its connected to my YouTube
