Update your devices and try connecting again to see if that solves the problem.

2Disable VPNs/Anti-Virus

If your Chromebook has a VPN or Anti-virus installed, make sure the VPN is turned off and the anti-virus isn't blocking any apps required for the connection. You can check if the anti-virus is blocking apps like the Chrome web browser, which would disrupt connection attempts.

3Power Cycle Your Devices

If all else fails, you may simply need to power cycle your devices. Turn your TV off and unplug it for 5 - 10 seconds. For your Chromebook, you can simply restart it for the same effect.

Power cycling your devices makes them boot up fresh, fixing any potential errors like connection issues.
