Everything the Google Nest Audio Can Do

[@TechWithBrett]

I know this covered a lot but you can jump around to different sections with the channel sections in the description. What else would you like to know about the Nest Audio?

[@cindyn.610]

Can i connect it to my pc over wifi (for it to work as a speaker)?

[@shawnwojtowicz3151]

[@JoeyRoqs]

@@cindyn.610 I think if you ask it to turn on Bluetooth, and select the device on your computer, you should be able to do it through there.

[@ismaelcosio3543]

Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you are able to turn the off the device. Also if you are able to bring it to the park (outside home) and use it as a regular bluetooth speaker? Thanks.

[@JoeyRoqs]

@@ismaelcosio3543 I suppose you could, but it needs to be plugged in to work. I don’t think it would be good a lot but if you don’t have anything else then I suppose it could work. Also I know I’m not “The tech guy” but I figured I’d reply anyway.

Hi Brett great video on the Nest Audio 👌👍 I'm not sure if you can answer my question but here goes I have a Denon CEOL n11 dab media player which has HEOS, I've managed to link this to my Google Home app on my phone, if I purchased a Nest would it be possible to link my Denon and play music to the Nest? Could it be in a different room as well? As my Denon is in my bedroom upstairs and I would like to have the Nest in my lounge downstairs. Thanks in advance.

It should allow this to work. Can you add the Denon to an Audio Group? Try this by selecting the + in the Google Home app and Create Speaker Group. Then you can choose any supported devices and link them together to play music in a group.

Oh no! They just changed all the menus so it is a bit harder to find. The Alarms is under the Audio section and Accessibility should be it's own menu. These are found by tapping long the speaker and then the Great at the top right.

one thing google hasn't said is that there are latency issues when pairing the audio nest to a tv via bluetooth (even as all the promotional material mentions bluetooth connectivity with TV as a feature). I've tried with mine and the lag of more than 1s makes it not viable at all. The tech support admits that these latency issues are NORMAL.

Sadly Samsung's TVs doing support the Chromecast Built-In feature like many other smart TVs. All I have been able to do with my Samsung TV is turn it on and off and sometimes send a video to it. The simple answer would be to add a $30 3rd gen Chromecast to the TV that would add this functionality.

Question...on Alexa, (let's say I am playing 80's music) while a song was playing I could say "add this to my music". Alexa created a music library of songs I could later then replay by saying, "Alexa, play my music". I liked this feature. I'm new to Google's Nest Audio and haven't figured quite figured out how to accomplish this with KZbin Music (premium member). I have been able to say to Google, "I like this song" and it adds it to an "auto playlist". But, when I say, play the auto playlist, it doesn't. If I add those songs in the auto playlist that I created called "David's playlist" then I can give the verbal request for google to play that playlist and it will play those songs that were added. That's a lot more work for something that Alexa handled for me. Is there some way to accomplish this task easier that what I have discovered so that I can add songs to a playlist while a song is playing through Google Nest or say a command to add it to a music library where I can play those songs later through the system? I have asked it to "add this to my music" and it says it will "add it to my music" but I can't find where in KZbin app where it was added or how to playback those songs that have been added to "my music". Overall, I'm liking the Nest Audio alot...but I'd really like to be able to figure this situation out since I hear a lot of music that I play and when a song comes on would like to have an easy way to add it to a playlist verbally through the system or somewhere where I could play any songs that I have added to "my music" at a later time. Thanks!
