Chromecast Streamer with Google Home Max?

[gbutton]

I have two Google Home Maxes and while watching a review, I saw a setting to choose your audio output. Can you choose to connect a google speaker to the new streamer? Is it just a Bluetooth connection, or is it a networked speaker group?

Hi gbutton,
 
Thanks for posting. I understand that you want to link your Google Streamer with your Google Speaker. In this case, you can control the video and audio with your speaker display once you make sure your phone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as your speaker, display, and Google streaming devices. 
 
Here is how to do it: 

• Open the Google Home app.
• Tap Devices > Add > Google Nest or partner device.
• Tap the home you want to add the device to > Next.
• Tap the device you want to set up. The app will search for available devices and guide you through the rest of the setup.

 
You can check detailed information on the "Link your TV to your Google Nest or Home speaker or display" article.
 
Please let me know how that goes. 
 
Best regards,
Jenny

Hi. I’ve connected my Max directly via bluethoot with the streamer as a external audio output. The problem it’s that the sound starts to shutter after a few minutes and turns unbearable. I’m having no solution yet form google.
