Troubleshooting Crunchyroll Casting 

If your casting isn’t working, hopefully one of these fixes will get you sorted out. 

Check Your WIFI Network 

Your Chromecast TV and your device that is casting to the TV have to be on the same WIFI network. Go into settings on both devices and check that the WIFI network is the same. You will need to disconnect one device and reconnect it if they are showing different WIFI names. 

Casting will also not work if your internet connection is unstable. Check your router and make sure it’s on and blinking red which could signal a problem. 

Using Updated Chrome 

If you’re using a PC or laptop, you need to use Chrome to cast. Using another browser will not work. Sometimes Chrome will also not work if it’s not the latest and updated version. 

If you need to update Google Chrome, follow these steps:

  1. Open Chrome. 
  2. Click on More with three dots in upper right corner. 
  3. Click Help. 
  4. Click About Google Chrome. 
  5. Choose Update Google Chrome. 
  6. Click Relaunch. 

The browser should close while updating and then reopen. If you do not see the Update Google Chrome option, then you are on the latest version. 

Using an App for IOS Devices 

If you are using any kind of Apple device, you have to use a third party app for casting. There might be an issue with the app you are using. Try downloading another app from the store and see if it will work. 

You might also need to delete the app you are currently using and redownload it to see if that makes a difference. 

Final Thoughts 

Casting with Crunchyroll is a great feature because it allows you to watch it on the TV rather than the phone or computer. When it’s not working, you need to make sure you have a stable WIFI connection, updated Google Chrome browser, and an app for IOS devices that can cast to the TV.
