Android Authority reports that Google’s streaming device, Chromecast seems to have suffered from connectivity problems in the past few days.
Problems affect 2nd generation chromecasts, as well as Chromecast audio. Many Reddit users say they can no longer launch on devices.
Google announced that it was aware of the problem and works on a solution. In the meantime, they now advise users against the reset of Chromecast devices: reset of the factory:

These tips came a little too late, because many upset users on the forum indicate that Google's own troubleshooting guide previously suggested a factory reset as a possible solution.
Although Google has started to eliminate Chromecast in certain regions, including the United Kingdom and the United States, the streaming device should continue to operate for at least a little more time.
On the basis of the moment when the updates have interrupted the 1st generation chromecast, we believe that support for the 2nd generation chromecast could end later this year. However, Google has already confirmed that these problems are not because of this.
Software and security updates should continue and Google would change its help pages if it changed.
At the time of writing the moment, the problems always occur, and Google always works on a fix to deploy “as soon as possible”.
