Issues with TV using speaker group

[Alfie24]

I have set up a speaker group in the Google Home App (iOS), which includes a Chromecast, a Nest Mini, and soon will include 2 Nest Audios. I can ask the Nest Mini to play music on the speaker group, where it will play on both the Nest speaker and  the built in TV speakers.  However, when watching video on the TV,  I cannot get it to play out of the speaker group, having to rather use the internal TV speaker, or the Nest Mini via Bluetooth. Any ideas how I can get the TV to recognise the Speaker Group and default to playing out of this? Thanks

Hi Alfie24,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community. The speaker group works for audio and music-related platforms only. Apps such as Spotify, YouTube Music, etc. can be cast or played via voice command. The Chromecast device, despite being intended to play both audio and video platforms such as Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, etc., will still play audio and music-related apps as it is counted as one of the speakers. But if you cast or play movies or videos on the Chromecast device and wanted the audio or sound to come out of the other speakers in that group, unfortunately, that's not how it works. I hope this clarifies the confusion about how the speaker group works.

Let us know if you still have questions.

Thanks,

Kimy
