Can I connect with Bluetooth?

[Darkest-Star]

I have a new nest audio speaker and once connected, took an age to get going, I find there is no Bluetooth facility.

I'd like to stream radio from not only TuneIn, I'd like to connect the audio from YouTube also.

I'm finding the limitations are huge and I am seeking a refund after a few hours unless there is a workaround.

I have a Pixel phone, home app etc etc oh and the device utility app which asks to turn off WiFi to then connect Bluetooth.

Is there a Bluetooth module in the speaker?

Hi @Darkest-Star 

You can use the cast ability within youtube to cast to the Nest Audio speaker.
But you can also use Bluetooth by enabling pairing mode: Check THIS link.

Oddly, I do not see the availability of Bluetooth pairing as per the link you provided.

Hello Darkest-Star,

Apologize for the delays. Chiming in to ensure everything is covered here. Just to add, you can activate the Bluetooth pairing of your Google Nest Audio by saying, "Hey Google, activate/turn on Bluetooth." Once done, go to your phone settings > Bluetooth > look for your speaker then connect.

@RXShorty: Thanks for your helping here!

Cheers,
