Touch and hold the tile of the device you want to pair. Google Nest can only be used as a speaker in Windows 11, and not as a microphone. A window will open, warning that you are uninstalling a device from your system.
The device was NOT showing under ‘audio’. We will explore and show you how to connect Google Home whether is Google Home Max, Google Home or Google Home mini to be paired as a Bluetooth speaker from your Windows PC. Your Windows or Mac laptop will transform into an extremely helpful tool to control your smart home and all the devices behind it. You can stream music to other rooms, control all the devices you have hooked up to it. It will start looking for devices that are connected to the same Wi-Fi as your laptop. Google hasn’t implemented a desktop program to control their devices.
From your mobile device's Bluetooth settings
‘OK Google’ command even works while it’s playing audio as a Bluetooth speaker. Connecting a pair of Google Home or Nest Home speakers can transform your laptop and TV listening experience. If you have two Google Home or Nest Home smart speakers you can create a left/right stereo pairing — even if they aren’t the same color. While it's designed to only work with iOS and Android devices, you can use an Android emulator or Google Chrome to access the app from a desktop computer. In a nutshell, it is possible to create a connection between any type of computer and Google Home.
Or how about this -- whether you use a Mac, PC or Chromebook, a pair of Google Homes will sound just as good if not better than dedicated computer speakers. When you launch the Google Home app, you’ll be prompted to enter your Google account info, at which point the rest of your installation will mirror that of Google Home on a mobile device. Once you’ve locked down your location preferences and a few other tweaks, you’re ready to use the app. With an emulator, you have full access to all Google Home features. However, with the browser, you cannot set up new devices. Some websites offer built-in cast buttons that stream media to your Google Home or Google Home Mini smart speakers.
Include a switch downstream of the Wifi router
When the restart is finished and you are logged into your Windows desktop, open again the list of available speakers. Now you will see that your Google Nest is now selectable. I recently found out that I could connect my Google Nest mini to Windows as a speaker. So in this tutorial, I will guide you on how to connect your Google Nest to your Windows 11 laptop/desktop as a speaker.
I was so excited to finally get this, now it has turned into a nightmare. Well, there’s one thing that we are sure you didn’t know until now; you can connect your Google Home Mini to a laptop. You can just use your Google Home Mini as a primary speaker for your desktop PC or any phone, tablet or laptop. The best part about this is that you can still command OK Google to perform tasks while it is paired as a speaker with your PC.
Use the Google Home App on PC With an Android Emulator
To avoid being so iterative with this guide, I please suggest you follow the process for adding Google home devices to the app that I showed you above for Windows. At this point, the process it’s pretty much the same as you do normally on your Google Home App on your smartphone. To work as desired, the third-party router should be set to bridge mode, replaced with a switch, or removed from the network. Wifi router's LAN port connects to third-party router's WAN port over wired Ethernet.
Wait for a list of discoverable devices will be seen. Click your Google Nest from the list. I used a Google Nest Mini to connect to Windows 11 below. The instructions should be the same regardless of your Google Nest speaker model. You can pair two original Google Home speakers, two Google Home Maxes or two Google Home or Nest Minis, but you can't mix and match, not even with a Google Home and Nest Mini.

Touch and hold the tile of the device you want to unpair.
If you feel like you are missing something, please follow the process with the images found on the guide for Windows, because it’s the same for both. Once the download has finished, you can proceed as with a regular installation for a program. As the same process for Windows, you need an Android emulator to run Google Assistant as its best. You just need to go to the “settings” and check the mic status.
I am at home, and want it to work from my computer. NOT A PHONE. Why isn’t this written on the package? I just wasted my time going across town to get this stupid product. Please do not waste your money. I am NOT going to buy a cell phone and downgrade from 5G just to use this toy. I am in the process of creating a virtual phone using Google’s Android Studio, but now I realize that it also runs off of the same network I have which is 5G, so it won’t work either.

To work as a mesh point, the point should always be wired downstream from the Wifi router. In the diagrams above, the mesh won't work is because the point is unable to get an IP address from the Wifi router. Rather, both the Wifi router and point get IP addresses from the upstream modem so the Wifi router isn't able to form the mesh with the Wifi point. Third-party router's LAN port connects to the Wifi router's WAN port over wired Ethernet.
