Chromecast with Google TV is Google’s newly launched streaming device to watch media content. Sometimes users need to reset their Chromecast with Google TV device if they face any issues with streaming or when they want to sell or present their Google TV device to someone. Unlike the previous Chromecast devices, you don’t need the Google Home app to reset the device. You can reset it from the device interface or by using the reset button on your device. Without any further delay, let’s discuss those two reset methods in detail.
