- Your computer must meet the minimum system requirements.
- Your computer and speaker or display must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Check the Wi-Fi network of your speaker or display.
- Your computer must have the recent version of Google Chrome (version 72 or higher). Update Google Chrome.
