google home app

[gmoney2022]

This is more of a question of the google home app. When i create a speaker group i cant control the groups volume from one control. I swear i was able to do this before. Now when i click  on the group i created it just takes me to a tab that lets me do some things but not control the volume for all three speakers at the same time.

Hi,

You were able to do the control before but there's been some changes due to a legal issue with Sonos.

Read the Community Blog here about group volume controls:  Upcoming Speaker Group changes - Google Nest Community  

Hope that helps explain the changes.

Hey folks,

Thanks for visiting the Community. 

This might be related to the update about speaker groups wherein customers will no longer be able to control the volume of all the speakers in a speaker group at the same time. This includes from the Google Home app, on display devices, and using Assistant voice commands (ex. “Change [group name] volume to 50%”). Customers will need to control the volume for each speaker in the group individually. Also, customers will no longer see the group controller in the Google Home app. You will still be able to see speaker groups but clicking on a speaker group in the home view will take them to the group settings.

Best,

Alex
