can a chromecast use paired nest minis as a speaker

[Fry]

I bought 2 nest minis with the intention to pair and use them as wireless speakers for my TV with Chromecast (i.e. I want to cast video to the tv and sound to Nest minis). 

Somehow, I got the impression I could do this. I'm guessing through my failure to set this up that this isn't actually a supported feature??

Would be great if it was, or to know that this is otherwise being worked on. I don't want to further invest in the nest ecosystem if something as obvious as this isn't going to be supported.

Hey there,
Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to drop in here to help.

This is a great question, but I definitely wanted to stop by and see how I could help.

Just wanted to double check to see if you were still needing help on this? If so, what troubleshooting steps have you tried?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Garrett DS

Hi Garrett,

I think this isnt a feature that's supported by the nest ecosystem - unless you know otherwise? Troubleshooting doesnt provide options to 'fix' this 'issue'. I have the impression that google were looking into this as a feature, but there are issues of lag betwen cast video to TV and audio to the nest minis.
