Can’t stream the big game with Chromecast? here’s why

Watching the big game this year is simple if you use Tubi, but if you’re trying to watch it with Chromecast, you might hit a snag, and it’s not because Google’s service is broken. The big game started tonight, and lots of folks have been talking online about problems with Chromecast. They can’t seem to get the game playing on their TV; instead, it’s stuck on their phones.

But, don’t worry, Chromecast isn’t the problem here. The issue is with how Tubi has set up its streaming for the big game. Normally, you can use Tubi on Chromecast or any device that supports Google Cast to easily stream content to your TV from the “Stream” section. However, for this particular game, Tubi has made it so you can only watch it through a special button on their app’s main page, which doesn’t work with Chromecast.

If you’re set on using Chromecast, you might want to try other services like YouTube TV, which does support streaming the game to Chromecast devices. Meanwhile, Tubi’s stream of the game is still available on other platforms like Roku, Android TV, Google TV, and Apple TV through their own apps.

So, while it’s a bit disappointing if you were planning to use Chromecast with Tubi, there are other ways to catch all the action of the big game without missing out.
