Nest speaker not visible in YouTube Music -IOS - April 2026

Friday

I use YouTube music on iPhone . My nest audio speaker pair is visible in Google Home app , these are also visible from other apps like Spotify , but these are very rarely visible from casting in YouTube music . 

I ensure I am on the same ssid ( wifi ). 
the speakers can play using voice command by the same YouTube music account , just that many times the device is not visible in YouTube music cast option. 

strange that Google home on the same phone shows the speakers and it also shows what is playing on them including the YouTube music icon , but from YouTube music app the speakers don’t appear in casting opiton

 this is as of April 2026

Hi TarunTyagi,

 

I’m sorry to hear that your Google Nest Audio isn't showing up in the YouTube Music cast menu, even though voice commands are working fine. I appreciate the information provided. I understand how important this must be for you. Don't worry; help is here. I need to ask for some information to provide the best solution.

  • Do you have just one Google Nest Audio, or are there other Google Nest speakers in your home?
  • Do you have a YouTube Premium subscription?
  • Has casting from the YouTube app worked for you in the past?
  • Have you tried any steps to solve the situation?

Please keep me posted.

 

Best regards,

Jenny

Hi Jenny

Thanks for replying. The answers are

  • Do you have just one Google Nest Audio, or are there other Google Nest speakers in your home?

I have two speakers setup in a stereo pair

  • Do you have a YouTube Premium subscription?

I have YouTube Premium subscription 

  • Has casting from the YouTube app worked for you in the past.

yes from YouTube Music casting to the pair at times has worked . In recent times that intermittent working is gone 

  • Have you tried any steps to solve the situation?

usually restart of phone or switching the SSID and back , or opening Google home seeing the speakers and playback there and then opening the YT music app would resolve the issue .

now since last few days it’s kind of become permanent that cast in YT does not show the speakers 

 

they do appear in Google Home showing what is playing and I can even change the song from Google Home . They also show in Spotify on the same phone.

 

BTW YT music ( YouTube music ) is also updated to latest and it uses the premium subscription.
