Hi @sw_engineer the following codecs are supported:

Chromecast Audio, Google Home, and Google Home Mini support the following list of codecs:

  • FLAC (up to 96kHz/24-bit)
  • HE-AAC
  • LC-AAC
  • MP3
  • Opus
  • Vorbis
  • WAV (LPCM)
  • WebM

There are also a whole host of codecs for video playback as well. If you are a software developer, you should use your developer's platform for more detailed questions. This is a user-to-user forum so we're not really equipped to respond to needs for those developing for the platform.

Thank you for your help, but that is not what I meant to ask! I am asking this question as a user, not as a developer.

My question is if I connect a device to the Nest Mini via Bluetooth, what Bluetooth audio codecs does the Nest Mini support. In particular, I was wondering if the Nest Mini supports using the AAC audio codec over Bluetooth?

Thanks again for your help!

My earlier response still applies; the list of codecs provided seems to show that it would, does it not? HE-AAC and LC-AAC, high efficiency and low complexity respectively. Low complexity is the normal/basic AAC.
