I had this issue while trying to watch a World Cup match in bed. I tried to troubleshoot it myself - restarting, rebooting, resetting every connection possible.

I didn't know Chromecast could go down on a large-scale like this because I would imagine it would just be something functional within my own network. Now I know.

Same here. I really thought my phone broke because my wife's phone could connect with one app, but YouTube was also down.

I really thought there Chromecast has a small server to listen for broadcast then it would start streaming from whatever content source.

I guess that privacy issue is bigger than I thought.
