YouTube Chromecast Offline
Contrary to what some people may think, YouTube does work offline.

Get Quick Responses from Customer Support Agents
Google is a big company with many customers. To help their customers, Google set up their own agency for customer service.

Turn on Diagnostic Tools in Chrome to Lower Entropy Clashes
This is something that you don’t have to do if it’s not a huge problem, but some Google services like YouTube simply have more entropy clashes than others.
