Hi adgesemp,
A secure, private WiFi network is required for using the Google cast protocol.
02-13-2023 02:45 AM
So, are you telling me that this can not be done?

Hi folks,
Thanks for the help, @Cathal_S.
@adgesemp, Thanks for reaching out. When you play music from a Chrome browser tab, you can mirror what's playing on your Chrome browser onto your speaker or display. Check out the steps below for guidance.
Step 1. Set up casting from Chrome:
Step 2. Cast content from Chrome to your speaker or display:
There are several ways to cast content from Chrome to your speaker or display. For all options below, make sure your computer is connected to the same Wi-Fi as your speaker or display.
Option 1. From the Cast button:
Note: The "Cast desktop" option is not supported on speakers and displays.
Option 2. From a Chromecast-enabled site:
Option 3. From Chrome Setting menu
Option 4. From a webpage in Chrome:
Check out this article for more information.
I hope this helps.

Thanks.. but I'm sorry it is not much help.
I have done all that already!!!
Did you read the description of my issue?
How can I make my Ethernet connected PC part of my Google mesh?
Chrome doesn't show me any device available for casting audio or video!!!

Hey adgesemp,
Sorry for the delays. To answer your question, you will need to connect your computer via Ethernet cable on one of your Google WiFi Mesh for you to cast on your Google Home speakers.
Hope this helps.

I can't run a cable.. there is no way!!
Do you think there is a way to do this wirelessly?
Please let me know

Hi adgesemp,
I'm afraid that's not possible. Casting requires to be connected directly on the same Wi-Fi network where the casting device and Google Nest speakers are connected.

To confirm, are you able to connect your computer to one of your Google WiFi Mesh?

I previously reply!!..
I did that I can't connect it!!
I need to do it wirelessly
03-07-2023 03:09 PM
Hey adgesemp,
I understand that you connect an Ethernet cord from your computer to one of your WiFi points, right?

I tried... Unfortunately.. there is no way to connect it!!!!
It has to be wirelessly!!!!!
03-28-2023 06:23 PM
Hi adgesemp,
Got it! The only option now is to connect a WiFi adapter to your computer for wireless connection on your router.

I miss that one.. but anyway that not a real solution for me!!
Why would I want to go wifi when I have a hardwire connection that is easy faster!!!
It doesn't make sense
04-03-2023 06:20 AM
So.. is this defentely a flaw in the system??
No solution to this yet???
04-11-2023 05:27 PM
HI adgesemp,
Apologies for the inconvenience however, an active Wi-Fi connection is really important when casting from your PC to your Nest speakers. Also, we have no means to change the software or hardware of your computer.
You can always try to use a Wi-Fi adapter as stated above.
Hoping for your kind understanding.
Best regards,
Dan
