Google Home and Chromecast device currently offline

Google Home and Chromecast devices worldwide are not functioning for many users. Google has been apologizing on their @madebygoogle Twitter account and in the product forums. In short, if you ask Google Home a question, Google will not be able to help you.

Here is a quick video of me asking Google to respond, and all Google can say “sorry, something went wrong, try again in a few seconds.”

This has been going on for about an hour now and there is no estimated time for a fix from Google as of yet.

Google told TechCrunch “we’re aware of an issue affecting some Google Home and Chromecast users. We’re investigating the issue and working on a solution.”

Here is the most recent respond from Google on Twitter about the issues:

Hey Stance, thanks for letting us know about it. Our team is still investigating and working on a solution. In the meantime, leave your Chromecast turned on so it can automatically perform an update once the fix for this was released. Thanks for your patience.
