Google-chrome – Chromecast screen goes black but still has audio

audiochromecastgoogle-chromevideo

When casting a Chrome-tab from my Windows 10 machine to a Chromecast, after a while the screen goes black but continues to play audio. Without restarting I cannot stream any video from the browser. Even rebooting the Chromecast doesn't resolve the issue.

What can I do to solve this black screen appearing?

These are well-known problems with Chromecast. Many solutions exist that work for some. Among them is :

  1. Switching to TV/Cable and back to HDMI
  2. Unplugging and replugging the Chromecast repetitively for some seconds
  3. Reducing the casting quality, to reduce network congestion
  4. Change WiFi channel, to avoid intermittent interference
