Q: QuestionCan I connect the Nest to 10 wireless nest speakers all at the same time through a small (1200 sf) office?

Asked 2 years ago by Tootie12.

This question was asked about the related product: Nest Hub 7” Smart Touchscreen Display with Google Assistant (2nd Gen) - Charcoal

• A:Answer Hey there, Tootie12. Yes, you can connect the Nest Hub (2nd Gen) to multiple Nest speakers simultaneously through a feature called speaker groups. With Google Home, you can create a speaker group comprising up to 10 compatible Nest speakers, enabling synchronized audio playback across all the connected devices within the network. This feature allows you to enjoy music, podcasts, or any other audio content seamlessly throughout your space. Given the size of your office (approximately 1200 square feet), having a network of 10 wireless Nest speakers connected to the Nest Hub should provide excellent coverage and audio distribution.
