In this video, I tried setting up my old chromecast using my pixel 3a phone with google home app.
Surprisingly, I was getting an error "device needs to be activated before setup"

The solution as provided by google? Install another app "Device Utility App" Crazy huh?

Why do I need 2 different apps to setup a single device? Google get your head out of your behind.

I'm saying, I should only need one app to setup a device. Why do I need two apps to setup a single device.

Anyways,.. what was my solution?

I wasn't able to setup with my phone. Instead I just tried it with my ipad.. and the ipad setup the chromecast in one try.

VOILA
