Connect speakers to Chromecast on projector

[Timburkhart]

Hi,

We have two brand new Google home speakers, a new Chromecast connected to an Epson projector. We can play music and the Chromecast will display over the projector, but when we try to play Netflix or other video it will not connect to the speakers and only plays audio through the projector. Can we make it play through the speakers??

So Google's own speakers cannot connect to Google's Chromecast. Absurd. Guess we'll return all the nest speakers and connect old fashioned speakers directly to the projector.

Hey folks,
It looks like we haven't heard back from the OP so I'm going to go ahead and lock the thread. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to create a new thread.

Have a great day,

Hey there Timburkhart,

I know this response is long overdue, but you are correct. The Google Nest speakers and Chromecast devices can be put together in a speaker group for audio only, the speakers cannot be used as a soundbar for the Chromecast. If this is something you'd like to see in the future, I'd recommend that you submit feedback via Google Home. I understand it's frustrating when you buy devices for one specific use, and they don't function in a way you'd expect them to.

I am really sorry we couldn't have been more helpful, but if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know.

Best regards,
Jeran
