Hi Fedelopezs,

Thanks for posting in the community! I understand you're interested in getting Google Nest Audio devices and want to know if the stereo sound will work when connecting via Bluetooth instead of casting from the Google Home app. I'll be happy to share more details about this process with you.

Let me tell you that when you use two Nest Audio speakers as a stereo pair, the stereo sound is primarily designed to work when playing audio via casting from a compatible app on your phone or when the Nest Audio speakers themselves are playing music through Wi-Fi.

Regarding connecting to a TV with Bluetooth and maintaining stereo sound:

• Stereo over Bluetooth: When you connect a stereo-paired set of Nest Audio speakers to a TV via Bluetooth, they will likely be recognized by the TV as a single Bluetooth audio device. This means the TV will send its audio output to this single Bluetooth connection, and the stereo separation achieved by pairing the Nest Audio speakers might not be fully utilized or even present. The audio might play in mono or a simulated stereo, depending on how the TV handles Bluetooth stereo output.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Best regards,

Jenny
