How many Nest Audio's on 1 "group"

[Mcgyver]

I'm trying to set up a surround sound type of system with my TV. Will set audio to bluetooth on the Optical out of the TV and then pair 3 Nest Audios in 1 group. Will this work for me????

I currently have 2 mini's that work just great throughout my house, just looking to expand the google herd

I have two Nest Audio speakers (paired) on each side of the living room and two minis in other rooms all in one group. I connect to the group from Pandora and other apps and when it works, it's great. I do have problems getting the casting to work, but that's another issue.

I am confused. The Google Nest store says that Nest Audio speakers can be used as surrounds directly connected to a Google TV or Chromecast. No sound bar or AVR needed. But no one is able to make this work. Should I hold off on buying new TV and Google speakers until Google posts exactly how to use Nest Audio speakers as directly connected surrounds?
