Common questions about streaming Windows audio to Google Nest speakers
PC Nest Speaker works with all Google Nest speakers (Nest Audio, Nest Mini, Nest Hub), Google Home speakers (Google Home, Home Mini, Home Max), and Chromecast Audio devices. Any Cast-enabled speaker on your network should work.
No. If you have a Windows PC and a Google Nest speaker on the same Wi-Fi network, you're good to go. No dongles, no Bluetooth adapters, no additional hardware needed.
When you enable sync, the app measures the latency to your Nest speaker and delays your PC speakers by the same amount. This keeps both audio outputs perfectly in time, so you don't hear an echo when they're both playing.
Yes, there's typically 100-300ms of latency when streaming to Nest (this is a Google Cast limitation). For music and videos, you won't notice it. For competitive gaming, you might want headphones. Our sync feature ensures your PC speakers match the Nest delay.
Yes! You can stream to multiple Nest speakers simultaneously. Create speaker groups in the Google Home app, then select the group in PC Nest Speaker.
No. PC Nest Speaker runs entirely on your computer. There are no cloud servers, no accounts, and no data leaves your machine. The audio streams directly from your PC to your Nest speakers over your local network.
PC Nest Speaker supports Windows 10 (version 1903 and later) and Windows 11. Both 64-bit systems are fully supported.
For casual gaming and single-player games, absolutely. For competitive multiplayer where milliseconds matter, the ~200ms latency might affect your gameplay. In those cases, we recommend using headphones and your Nest for ambient audio or music.
