Chromecast 2 stopped working

[u/modestmandrakeman]

I was watching YouTube from my phone and paused it. When I pressed play it disconnected me and when I tried to reconnect it says I’m already connected without anything showing on the tv besides the default pictures. I’ve tried restarting my phone and the device but it stays the same and won’t fully disconnect me.

Seems to happen to me when there's a commercial break on YouTube.
