# Google Home speakers

> Find speakers, displays, and Chromecast devices with Google Cast.

Use Google Cast to connect compatible Google Home and Nest speakers, displays, and Chromecast devices.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the speaker card">
    Open **HA Link** in the Home Assistant sidebar and find **Google Home speakers**. Select **Set up**, or **Manage devices** if Google Cast is already connected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check your network">
    Turn on your speakers and displays. Keep them on a network that Home Assistant can reach; an isolated guest network can prevent discovery.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finish Google Cast setup">
    Follow the native **Google Cast** setup prompts. Home Assistant can discover compatible devices on your local network.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find your speakers">
    Return to **HA Link** and select the refresh icon at the top (**Refresh connections**). Choose **Google Home speakers** in the route filter.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a speaker">
    Select its media-player entity. Use the available Home Assistant playback and volume controls.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>Your compatible media devices are available from HA Link.</Check>

<Note>For Nest cameras, doorbells, and thermostats, use the Google Nest devices card.</Note>
