Chromecast and Nest Speaker Groups

[potz]

Can I have my Chromecast/Google TV always connect to my speaker group without having to click on it on my Home app after the fact and adding it there? Only option Google TV has is to connect to a Bluetooth speaker pair, but nothing about Groups.

Hi potz,

Thanks for visiting the Community.

Group any combination of Google Nest or Home speakers and displays and Chromecast devices together for synchronous music throughout the home. Your music and audio from Chromecast-enabled apps are instantly available to stream.

Compatible devices include:

• Google Home
• Google Nest Mini (2nd gen)
• Google Home Mini (1st gen)
• Google Home Max
• Google Nest Audio
• Google Nest displays
• Google Nest Wifi point
• Chromecast with Google TV
• Chromecast
• Chromecast Ultra
• Chromecast Audio
• Speakers with Chromecast built in and selected TVs

To create a speaker group, you may follow these steps:

1. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as your Chromecast, or speaker or display.
2. Open the Google Home app .
3. At the top left, tap Add Create speaker group.
4. Tap each device you want to add to the group. A check will appear next to each device you select.
5. Tap Next enter a name for your group Save.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Princess
