Google starts rolling out fix for Chromecasts after five-day outage

Good news for annoyed Chromecast owners whose devices haven’t been working this week: Google is rolling out a fix for affected devices. Second-generation Chromecasts have been non functional since last weekend, due to an issue with an expired authentication certificate authority, but the fix should arrive for users over the next few days.

Google confirmed the fix in a post on its Nest forums, writing that: “We have started to roll out a fix for the problem with Chromecast (2nd gen) and Chromecast Audio devices, which will be completed over the next few days. Your device must be connected to receive the update.”
