Many people using older Chromecast devices experienced a shock in recent days when their units lost the ability to cast content. The company ended the brand last year, which led folks to think that this was a planned obsolescence of some kind.

Google is emailing Chromecast users today to apologize for an issue that’s been causing certain Chromecast models to fail when people try to cast to them. The company says that it’s working on a fix.

Speaking of Google, it has acknowledged the issue and confirmed that a fix is in the works. "We're aware of an issue with Chromecast v2 and Chromecast Audio devices," a Google spokesperson said. "We will share an update once we have more details about the issue and the fix."
