The criticism of YouTube Music, especially from Google Play Music users, is that it bizarrely lacks basic features. One of those is the ability to repeat songs while Casting, though that has finally just been added to YouTube Music on Android.

 

Update 3/31: Last month, the ability to repeat and shuffle while Casting YouTube Music to Smart Displays, Assistant speakers, or other devices very briefly went live. It was quickly pulled, but shuffle has returned today. Oddly, the repeat action is now grayed out and cannot be selected. It works on both Android and the old iOS interface.


Update 2/24: Shortly after repeat and shuffle started working for some, the feature was pulled for all users.


For the past few weeks, there has been some hints that Google was working on this minor capability. The Now Playing screen would previously hide shuffle and repeat buttons when Casting was enabled. That recently changed to stop disappearing, but neither was clickable.
