@VioletAthena Oh and I’ve tried a 2nd iPhone and two other iPads all running the latest iOS version and nothing. It’s definitely not the phone or iPad. It’s something to do with the iOS device not detecting the Chromecast on the home network. It’s off that even though they are using the same ip subnets that they can’t see each other. Any device on my home WiFi or hardwired can see each other. You’d think two Google devices that are made to work with each other would just “work” but they do not. This is 100% your mileage will vary. Maybe this is an iOS application bug with Stadia?

I am in the same boat. Just got the Stadia / Chromecast Ultra premium bundle and can not add the Chromecast Ultra to the stadia account. I’ve done several factory resets, wirelessly and wired, can stream all day to the Chromecast but am 100% stuck at the “add Chromecast” step. This makes playing Stadia on the Chromecast Ultra useless. I’ve checked the firmware is on the latest version “1.50.xxx” which matches Google’s Chromecast production firmware version. I don’t understand why there isn’t a manual way to add the Chromecast Ultra to Stadia without using the iOS application. I even made sure that the iOS version was up to date 14.7 I believe. Long story short, everything is updated and I am able to connect the controller to WiFi and play on any other device, just not play on my TV using the factory delivered Chromecast Ultra and factory Stadia controller which I bought last week and arrived on 7/23/2021. Soooo… don’t buy this garbage and I think it will never work OR might randomly work if I keep mucking with it for another 5 or 6 hours off and on. Plus playing Stadia wirelessly is pointless and has major delay issues when not hardwired or on any wireless connection not 20-50mbs. If anyone has a “magic” switch or button that I can press that I haven’t already pressed let me know. I’ve already done several factory Chomecast resets along with Stadia controller resets and gone through every YouTube and google support article on the web.
