With the new Chromecast update you can have your music play in more places at once! What features do you want to see next?
Brett, please for the love of god, how to get them to sync volume at all devices in a group? Like its annoying as hell to give long commands to set volume change on devices in a group! I have all minis and theres no way to get them to "reset" to same volume level. Also, any chance well get Stereo playback using two google minis?
As soon you get the how to play movies on Home groups,please make the video quickly.
What I want to see next is all of the stuff I'm supposed to be able to do actually work I swear google has the clunkiest app I've ever seen everything i try to do seems like a strange work around that half the time doesn't work
Happy New year!
You cannot cast RUclips audio to chrome cast audio only dongle, and RUclips music is junk, you cannot cast your music apps like power amp and cast to Chromecast audio I want to use C.C.A with my amps and dacs but cannot so over all a third party app is needed to work around Google's attempting to force me on thier platform, which is understandable but frustrating...Bluetooth is the last free form option, wifi being superior in codex transfer is why I chose C.C.A that and it had optical output shame they destroy the best features of everything they do
I wish there was a way to play video and cast the audio to an audio group.
Agreed
Yeah kind defeats it's purpose in my eyes
That would be amazing
I came here in the hopes of a solution for this :(
That the feature we really need Google!
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
Thanks! That is a great setup.
Awesome stuff Brett. Didn’t know about the audio delay setting. Thanks.
Awesome Video Brett. I was wondering on how to fix the audio sync issue, now I know thanks to you.
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
Thank you Brett and Merry Christmas to you and your family
Merry Christmas to you!
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???
*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.*
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 😀
Awesome!
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.
Maybe I need to pick up another Max, that sounds like a great idea!
Nice tips and tricks.!!! Helpful one.
thank you for your great and helpful videos sir...
Nice one wondering about this option
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 😎
Thank you so much, it was very helpful :)
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?
Excellent tech teacher
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 RUclipsr.
Again, thanks for your videos.
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?
Have you managed it out? Im looking for a way to play music both from nest hub and bluetooth speaker in the same time. Can find a way to add those two to a group.
I hope to this update for my nvidia shield and my other tv's. Excelente video Brett!
Maybe. At this point I am not sure it will happen.
@@TechWithBrett we're going to wait!
Wow man i didn't know that
Love from India ♥️♥️♥️
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
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. :(
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?🤔
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.
Thanks for the help.
Is it possible to groupe google nest hub, google mini and Sonos One into one group?
Thanks!
Hi Brett can you connect the google home hub to a wifi speaker / cast. Thanks
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.
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 ?
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 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 RUclips videos with Audio group speaker playback... Thanks
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?
Good Morning Brett 👋.
Sent this video to my New,
" Building a Smart Home 101"
Playlist.
Thanks Brett 🙂
Have a Nice Saturday 🌅.

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.
Cool stuff.
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
can every speaker with google assistant built in be in a group for example with chromecast?
Is there a way to add a regular bluetooth speaker to your audio group
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.
Open google home app -> Your Lenovo display -> ambient mode
@@thisismalhotra Thank You Sir
@@RonnieB300 yw
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.
Nice video
Can you use this to speak to other people in the house like an intercom?
Love you man one quick question how can I connect Shazam on chromecast
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.
How does that G Home Max sound?
Can you do this with Apple Music?
Can I stream bluetooth audio to all speakers in a group simultaneously?
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 RUclips 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
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?
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
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.
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
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
From what I have found it all depends on the app. Since those apps aren't working there is not much you can do. Make sure your Chromecast is up to date as a recent update slightly improved Bluetooth.
This was made one year and one day before my birthday. 😱
Nice video friend
Is that Sonos 1 connected to chromecast audio?
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.
The best way to do this is to create a Routine that is scheduled to go off everyday at the time that you need. In the Add Action section choose Browse Popular Actions and scroll to the bottom and choose the Day Something command. Then you can type in, "It's time to take your medicine." Then Google will give you that exact announcement everyday at that time. The only issue you will find is it can only play the announcement on one of the Google Home's at a time, so create the same routine again for the second device you want it to play on.
Here is a video that goes over a bit about Routines: ruclips.net/video/QYw-xuuA2BA/видео.html
BrettI am looking to buy a chromecast audio but not sure which speakers support it? Do you have a video talking bout that?
The easiest way is to explain it here. Out of the box it comes with a 3.5mm AUX cable that you can put in the input of a speaker. You can also purchase an RCA cable that will input to the white and red channels on a speaker or you can get an optical cable attachment that let's you plug into an optical input.
KnightOf Light google home supports it wirelessly
can you create a speaker group with more than one Bluetooth speaker
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?
You can over Bluetooth but it most likely will have lag. It doesn't work any other way.
can you use this for bluetooth speakers or to home google speakers with chromecast on my tv to watch movies
Bluetooth will give you a very delayed audio experience and it is not meant to be used that way for these devices.
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
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?
It will still work alone or in the group. Both options will show up when casting from your phone.
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
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.
Same SSID, I would recommend it all be on 2.4 GHz
That doesn't matter u just need to connect with the same router
Cool thanks
Beryl White did u buy the google home like I did ?
@@mysterious8058
In all truth I have two hubs one Google home two minis 1 Google Max and 1 generation three Chromecast and and who knows what else I have a service that comes in and takes care of it but Brett generally helps me figure out how to run it! Without him I don't know cuz this was my kids bright idea. I know I worked in and around electronics for 31 years but this was my last thing I really wanted but I love the automated the eufy and all the general Services now
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.
Nice...& cool...
Can I Bluetooth to an audio group? If so, how?
+Tech With Brett can you cast video on all chromecast devices at once? Like livingroom and kitchen.
No, video is only supported on one device at a time.
So no grouping?
Man wish they had that so you don't miss anything like new episodes of Tech With Brett when you leave the room.
Yeah that would be sweet! Lol
Question how do you set up a monthly calendar event using Google Home mini and or Home?
Can we pair nest hub and Chromecast? Just like playing videos on Chromecast and have a stereo audio output on two nest hub speakers?
Sadly no.
@@TechWithBrett okay. thank you for the reply
Thanks, any ideas on how to delete an audio group if you don't want it anymore?
Go to the Groups at the bottom of the home page of the Google Home app. Ope. The group you want to delete and at the bottom select Delete Group.
@@TechWithBrett awesome, worked a treat, thank you for your help
Hi I am wondering if the Mi Box s supports Audio Groups ?
No it does not.
You forgot to mention that you can also set groups as standard playback device😀
You are right! Good catch.
Hi, how do you do this?
Where does the Chromecast sound play?
How can i watch and listen RUclips videos with this stuff? :(
Brett why does this not my show m 50 viziio chromecast built in
Trying to cast the audio of RUclips videos to my group of speaker, but not having success. Is this possible?
If you have Android and cast your phone to the Group it might be possible.
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?
Is this the latest Chromecast? It is possible it could have not been pushed the latest update just yet since installing.
@@TechWithBrett I just got it 2days ago. Maybe your right and I need to wait till it updates. Thank you and keep the videos comming. I enjoy them and they are very very awesome reviews
Can you create groups with just normal Bluetooth speakers? If so how? Thanks.
Without them being paired to Google Homes? There are a few ways to do this. Some speakers support two being able to be paired together like the UE Booms. Or if you have a new Samsung device you are able to do it in the settings with Dual Audio, see here: ruclips.net/video/4XsDptFIEws/видео.html
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
I have the Lenovo smart display and smart tv . When I play music it sends it to the tv without asking lol can I change this?
You can change the standard playback device.
When I say hey google both google nest audio speakers talk how do I stop this
He living in lindon Utah! That's where I live😂
Haha! Where's all the snow?
HOW AND WHERE DO I FIND TO UPDATE CONVERSATIONS??
For the Home Hub? It just started to roll out. It could takes few weeks.
When I select create a group there is nothing there. Not the google home nor the nests
wow man ur really amazing keep rocking
Thank you!
Will this work in Canada? I cannot find the option to add the Chromecast (3) to a speaker group.
There update might still be rolling out to other countries. I'll see if I can find more details.
@@TechWithBrett Thanks! Also wondering if I could use more than 5 photos in ambient mode from my google photos album.
You can use thousands of photos in the photo album for ambient mode. Is that your question?
@@TechWithBrett It will only use 5 auto selected photos to display, can I change/customize that? Thanks!
Lew, Matthew yes for sure
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
For some reason my tv won’t show up on the menu with all the speakers can someone help me.
Yes, I had the same issue. Google removed audio group support for Chromecast video (Mine is 3rd. gen). However, you can still cast the audio without creating the group.

I have an important question..
I want to buy smart lights
What type of wifi do you need for philips hue bulbs and does it need the hub thing.
And also what type of wifi do merkury bulbs need?
Greatt
Hey so my home group only has sound in one google assistant
Do you have a long driving license or do they just use a smaller font?
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.
Hi, how can I connect my JBL flip 3 via bluetooth?
Yes you can to your Google Home.
@@TechWithBrett I've looked at the current home app but I can't find where to add it :(
Tap on the Google Home in the Google Home app and find the Default Speaker. There you select Bluetooth and pair it to the JBL Flip.
