Reset Chromecast to factory settings

There are two ways you can reset the Chromecast. Both lead to the same result.

• Press and hold the button on the Chromecast for around 30 seconds until the blue light starts to flash. The stick then restarts after a few moments.
• Alternatively, open the Chromecast app and select "Reset to factory settings" from the menu under the "Facilities" category.
