Overview

WiiM device is designed primarily for audio and does not support video casting. This means you cannot cast audio directly from the YouTube app to the WiiM device.

However, there is an alternative method that allows you to cast audio from YouTube and other various apps on Android to the WiiM device.

Before You Begin

Before adding WiiM devices to a Google Cast speaker group, make sure that they are assigned to any room in the Google Home app.

For detailed instructions, see How to Add a WiiM Device to a Room in the Google Home App.
