A future update will add a feature that many of the competitors to the Nest Audio already have.
Google unveiled the Nest Audio back in September, a long overdue upgrade on the original Google Home speaker built to take on the Amazon Echo. Now the tech giant has confirmed a useful new feature for the speaker that will be arriving in a future software update. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, a Google spokesperson has confirmed that Nest Audio devices will soon work with Chromecasts as extended sound systems, so you’ll be able to play the Chromecast audio through these speakers rather than through your TV. It’s not much of a surprise – in fact it’s more of a surprise that the speaker didn’t launch with the functionality built in, considering Google is usually so keen to promote integrations between its products (you can bring up the video feed from a Nest camera on the Chromecast, for example).
