Casting to a group of speakers is not available anymore.

Aleksey — Sun, 23 Jan 2022 07:00:38 GMT

Some time ago (± 1 month) disappeared the option to cast music to the music group (there are 2 google speakers devices). I mean that I created a group of speakers in the Google Home app and (before) I just needed to click on this group icon and there was (at the bottom) a button Start cast, but today when I click on the group icon it opens settings screen.

What is a problem here?

We don't use that feature, but this might answer your question:

Yes! I too have this problem... Since the 'Sonos' update, you can no longer cast to Speaker groups. There is no longer a 'Cast Audio' button in any of the Groups, ergo groups have been rendered useless.
