Chromecast: "Oops, we are unable to cast at this time"

[chyzar]

I've lost the ability to cast Pandora from my iPhone (14) to my Google Mini speaker. It used to be buggy, but at least it worked. Now, it connects (the speaker makes its "something just connected to me" bleep sound), then the Pandora app says "Oops, we are unable to cast at this time." I have quit the app multiple times, deleted the speaker and Pandora app from my Google Home, and re-added them.

Tips?

Hi @chyzar Welcome to community. Sorry to hear you're having trouble with Chromecast.

Please try the following troubleshooting steps to see if they may help resolve this issue.

1. Check to see if there are any updates available for your Pandora app and update if needed.
2. Make sure your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast device.
3. If you're using an Android, try clearing the cache and app data for Pandora on your device.**
4. If you're using an iOS device, log out of Pandora and then uninstall and reinstall the app.**
5. Restart your Chromecast device by unplugging the power source and plugging it back in.
6. Restart the Pandora app on your device.
7. Run the Chromecast app to set up your Chromecast device again.

If you are still having trouble with Chromecast, please refer to Google's support page here for additional steps.

**Please note: These steps may remove your offline content. However, as a Plus user, you should receive that offline content again automatically.

New premium Pandora account now unable to cast from iPhone Pandora to Google home. "Oops unable to cast" It's extremely frustrating. I prefer to cast directly from the Pandora app versus Google Home voice controls as I have more control over music, stations etc, however when Pandora app won't cast I begrudgingly use GH as it always works. I have tried all of the troubleshooting, unlinking/linking devices, accounts etc. **ahem**!!

I am now just getting these messages. I see this post was from last year. I am having all sorts of problems with Pandora that I never have before. After being a customer for 10 years it might be worth looking at Spotify. Seems like support for Pandora is going downhill.
