With the new Chromecast update you can have your music play in more places at once! What features do you want to see next?

I wish there was a way to play video and cast the audio to an audio group.

This topic is spot on. I literally did this yesterday when I got my second google home mini. I have my Chromecast audio hooked up to my Bose system via aux and the rest are around the house. Great video

Brett, you are right about that. Only music we can play Chromecast, Chromecast audio and Home mini. That's the way I have the group. 2 Chromecast, 2 Home mini and 1 Chromecast audio. I have only one group with all of them with only one Chromecast on the living room for a get together with friends and family, on kitchen,living room, porches front and back and on my studio.

Thanks. I wanted to know about playing tv (with chrome cast) through my speaker group

I have the newer Chromecast hooked up to my TV and the TV is hooked up to my soundbar /subwoofer. After adjusting the delay the music sounds awesome! I'm going to see what other speakers in my house I can add to the hub 😀

*Hi Brett,* Would you mind doing a *2020 version* since the Google Home app has been updated and now has a different layout? *This video was really helpful.*

Thanks, Brett, Just a few comments. To begin, My default music app for Google home media is Google Home Play. I noticed the other day that when I cast to my chrome cast on the tv that the album art of the songs now appears with the ambient pictures on the TV. Fantastic! While watching your demonstration, the TV behind you did not show the Album Art or the name of the song and artist. It only showed a symbol/icon of a music note and the words Google Play Music and the name of the home speaker group that it was casting from. Do you know why? Was that intentional? . I also tried to cast from my Chromebook and find that it doesn’t cast the Album Art (but rather just an icon of a note. But when I cast from my MS computer it does show the Album Art and Artist. And again fantastic. So at this point, I have been casting from my PC or a Home device. Another observation is that when I cast from my phone the music keeps stopping with the notice that it can not play this song until I upload it. What is that all about? This only happens when I am casting to a Chomecast device. Last, Google needs to reorder the presentation of its information on the screen. The album art and title of the song should be the bottom line and the name of the google group needs to be above it on another line. At present, the information of the song interferes with the visual of the ambient art. These are not criticisms just observations from my experiences so far. I know Google will work all this out. I am a total Google fan, and you are my favorite Google tech KZfaqr. Again, thanks for your videos.

Brett, a month or so ago I remember reading / watching a video where I could watch youtube on my chromecast and have the audio play on my Google Home speakers. However, it required a newer chromecast than I have. How can I do this? Well, as I wrote that I heard you say this isn't an option yet. I'll leave this here anyway so that if someone looks at comments, they'll see you can't do it. :(

Don’t know how, but I had the ability to cast Bluetooth from my iPhone (outside of any app) and be able to listen to music from my phone saved locally. I was even able to watch KZfaq video and the sound would come through my nest mini group. Seems I lost the ability when I added a 3rd nest mini speaker. The actual group would show up as a Bluetooth device in my iPhone Bluetooth settings. I need to figure a way to get that back

I have Vizio tv with smart cast and I have Vizio sound bars surround sound I have a google hub max when I tell it to turn on the Vizio sound bar it tells me that it’s not supported so I have to manually turn on the sound bars, I have multiple speakers and have grouped them together but I have to manually play music from my hub max

I've done pretty much all of this already and have music in every room in my house the only additional thing that I did is I got myself to Google home Max and pair them up for stereo effect wow it's like having an old school stereo. Thanks and by the way thank you for using that phrase cuz all the videos I've watched they don't mute that phrase and you know what happens.

Awesome video. Really wish there was a way to sync audio from videos/movies. I'm guessing it's only a matter of time til all my minis can become a home theater system with stereo surround sound 😎

I have a Chromecast audio connected to my subwoofer and it works great. I always have to manually select it in the home app (to turn it on) when I watch TV. Bummer that it just can't turn on by itself.

Awesome stuff Brett. Didn’t know about the audio delay setting. Thanks.

Your video is cool, my name is Giovanni, I'm from the city of São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil. . I have a Google Home, several Google Nests spread around the house, a Google Matter router. . Finally, I have the chomecast 4 and to this day, nothing from Google has released group audio interaction. Example: watching movies and sound coming out on Google Nest devices. (other than Bluetooth, there is a lot of latency). . Google falters on this. And we are already heading into the second half of 2024.

Thank you for this video. I know it's one of your older videos, but it really helped me out in trying to figure out how to play music from my playlist easily to my speaker groups. Thanks a million. My next thing I'm working on is a security system to use that works with my Google Nest smart home set up. Any input???

One thing I have not seen is how or if it is possible to have the Google Home and/or Mini broadcast a daily reminder. My wife needs to take her medications at routine times, I have seen how to play music all over the place. But what about a simple reminder by the two mini's upstairs or the set downstairs.

I don't own these devices. So I have a question, if you have your computer directly connected to your TV (used as a monitor), could you cast the Audio from within Chrome Tab to an Audio device or Group. (Would you have delays in the Audio?). Thereby allowing KZfaq videos with Audio group speaker playback... Thanks

Awesome Video Brett. I was wondering on how to fix the audio sync issue, now I know thanks to you.

Hi! I understand Sonos can already be integrated to a Google Home system, but every time I try I get a message saying this is not yet allowed for my country (Spain), though I read everywhere (even on Sonos's support page) that it is indeed a suppprted feature where I live. Help please

Great advise as usual Brett, keep it up. One question, if the Google Home hub is connected to a bluetooth speaker, can you also get the sound to come out of the Home hub's speaker as well as the connect bluetooth speaker?

Can you cast music to different rooms at the same time without creating a group? Let’s say I’m leasing to music in the kitchen and now go to my room and want to continue there, can that second room be added to the current casting?? Thanks.

I hope to this update for my nvidia shield and my other tv's. Excelente video Brett!

Unfortunately for some strange reason, the chromecast 2 doesn't show the song and artist info in the bottom left corner when it's part of a home group. I've raised this with Google but still no fix.

Hey...Can i pair google Audio devices like google nest to my lg crome cast enabled soundbar to watch a movie on my lg tv?

What happend to those options because now when I click on a group it just brings up the options like name which devices are in it and to delete it. So how would u do it now

What if I have 4 ceiling speakers ( 2 in the kitchen and 2 in the livingroom) and 2 more outdoor speakers by the pool. And I want to control them all by google home. Is it possible and what tool should I use ?

Dear Brett Thanks for your awesome video. After watching your video, I bought 4 google home minis for speaker grouping. Here is my test result. I could create a speaker group But I can't see the volume bar and I can't see the sound cast button...3:59 I don't know why goolgle is blocking iphone,,,, No problem.

Thank you Brett and Merry Christmas to you and your family

My router has both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Each has its own SSID (but same password) Do my phone and all Chromecast devices (I have mostly Minis) need to be on the same band (SSID), or is just being on the same network (router) enough? I don't mean just for creating a speaker group, but for general "getting along" as well.

Hi Guys. I have a Pioneer 933 av with built in chrome cast. I am trying to transmit music from my CD player that is attached to said AV and use the chrome cast in the AV to play the cds on a google home max. Is this possible and how to do it. Many thanks in advance...Denis

For some reason, all of my Google devices, Google Home, Google Home Hub and Google Home Mini's are attached and work independently on my wifi network. I have Google Home app installed on my iPhone 7 and this is on the same home network that the Google devices are using. However, when I try to add a speaker group with the Google Home app on my mobile phone (iPhone 7), it tells me, "No devices found on this network". However, when I back out of the set up speaker group screen, all of my devices appear on my Google Home app.

Excellent tech teacher

Hey Tech with Brett. I had a group of my nest hub and chromecast and it worked perfectly. I added two new nest mini and I'm no longer able to play to group with nest minis via voice or from my phone and can only cast to group from my nest hub. I also have a problem with only some speakers playing in the group. Could this be a wifi problem? Can u give me some ideas to get it working properly

Is there a way to add a regular bluetooth speaker to your audio group

Need some help Brett!! I have 2 google home mini’s that I have recently made into a speaker pair ( one is the left speaker and one is the right speaker on the same wifi) . I also have a Chromecast hooked up to TV in the same room on the same wifi. Is there a way to play a movie on my TV with the Chromecast, but have the audio cast to my new speaker pair in the room.....kinda like faux surround sound speaker set up. I also have an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra). Thanks for any help you can be.

+Tech With Brett can you cast video on all chromecast devices at once? Like livingroom and kitchen.

can you use this for bluetooth speakers or to home google speakers with chromecast on my tv to watch movies

can you create a speaker group with more than one Bluetooth speaker

Nice, Love from India

nice this is perfect :) ... i comment on the echo video but this video explain better... so i repeat my question here : can you do the same thing you showed on this video but for the echo dot and the fire stick tv?

can every speaker with google assistant built in be in a group for example with chromecast?

I just go an Chromecast (3) and a home mini. Can i make my home mini the speaker for my Chromecast when i watch something on it?

I have the chrome cast with google tv. I am also using Harmon Kardon citation one Mk 2 speakers. It is a bit glitchy with connection. But I'm finding that sound cuts out on nextflix and disney plus. It there a block or permission i need to change to get the sound working on these platforms? I'm in Australia if that makes a difference

Good Morning Brett 👋. Sent this video to my New, " Building a Smart Home 101" Playlist. Thanks Brett 🙂 Have a Nice Saturday 🌅. JaneLee ^_^ 12/22/18 5:16 AM

Hi Brett can you connect the google home hub to a wifi speaker / cast. Thanks

Nice tips and tricks.!!! Helpful one.

When I try to delete a speaker group it gives me an error message that states "You are not allowed to manage this group" it happens on every device in our house. Please help

Hi Brett, after watching a lot of your videos on the Lenovo smart display I decided to buy the 10 in. Also after watching your videos the setup was very easy to do. My question to you at this time is, I set the ambient mode to clock and I have been trying to find out how to go back into that setting to change it. What are the steps I need to perform to get back into that setting and change it from the clock? Thank you, keep up the great videos, very helpful.

Love you man one quick question how can I connect Shazam on chromecast

if i do this with spotify, will it show the current song on the tv? and will this be big (the whole screen?) or just the small banner in the under left corner?🤔

Thanks for the help. Is it possible to groupe google nest hub, google mini and Sonos One into one group?

BrettI am looking to buy a chromecast audio but not sure which speakers support it? Do you have a video talking bout that?

Can we pair nest hub and Chromecast? Just like playing videos on Chromecast and have a stereo audio output on two nest hub speakers?

Hey Brett! Is there a way to tell my google home hub to cast a youtube video or play youtube music on my home PC?

Trying to cast the audio of KZfaq videos to my group of speaker, but not having success. Is this possible?

You forgot to mention that you can also set groups as standard playback device😀

Can you use this to speak to other people in the house like an intercom?

If I want to use voice to cast the music to the audio group, when I say "OK, Google" among so many speakers, will all speakers respond to me?

Nice one wondering about this option

Wow man i didn't know that Love from India ♥️♥️♥️

How does that G Home Max sound?

Im following these instructions and still cant get music to come out of BOTH my speakers. Only ONE, its frustrating me to the core and even more so that this video whos instructions ive followed, still wont let it work FML

thank you for your great and helpful videos sir...

Thank you so much, it was very helpful :)

Thanks, any ideas on how to delete an audio group if you don't want it anymore?

Can I stream bluetooth audio to all speakers in a group simultaneously?

Can I Bluetooth to an audio group? If so, how?

Where does the Chromecast sound play?

Brett I have not commented for so long I got a new galaxy tab a how do I change its quality cause it’s only 480p

If the speaker is added to a group are you still able to cast to the speaker individually or will it then only be usable in the group?

Cool stuff.

Can you do this with Apple Music?

When I say hey google both google nest audio speakers talk how do I stop this

For some reason my tv won’t show up on the menu with all the speakers can someone help me.

Can you create groups with just normal Bluetooth speakers? If so how? Thanks.

When I select create a group there is nothing there. Not the google home nor the nests

Nice video

Hey there Brett, i just purchased and installed the new Google Chromecast and i wanted to create a Speaker group with my Google Home mini and Googel Home Hub, but i cant seem to add my Chromecast to my group. I can see and add both my Hub and Mini, but i cant seem to add my Chromecast. Any advise? Maybe I need to update my Chromecast?

This was made one year and one day before my birthday. 😱

Is that Sonos 1 connected to chromecast audio?

Brett why does this not my show m 50 viziio chromecast built in

This isnt working anymore. Google has removed several features when it comes to group-feature. You now have to controll each speaker separately when it comes to volumes. This because Sonos won against Google in a court.

How can i watch and listen KZfaq videos with this stuff? :(

Cool thanks

Thanks!

Hi I am wondering if the Mi Box s supports Audio Groups ?
