Feature - Continue play on PC speakers AND cast to Google Cast device.

Has anyone found out a workaround to play audio on a PC and Google Home device at the same time? Would love to utilize my PC speakers as a home device.

Hey @bed428, 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

Keep in mind that Spotify is for personal use only. This means that it's not possible to stream on multiple devices at the same time with one account.

In this case, if someone else would like to listen to their content on one of your devices, we suggest taking a look at our other subscriptions, like Premium Duo, which is for two people living at the same address, or Premium Family, which is for up to six people who live together.

With those subscriptions, all the members can enjoy the benefits of a Premium subscription at a discounted price with their own personal accounts. You can find more info about Premium Duo here and Premium Family here.

If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.

Hi Eni,

It seems you are suggesting that the request was to listen to different content on the PC versus the Google Home device. I don't believe this is what @bed428 was asking, nor is it what I am trying to figure out how to do which brought me here.

What I would like to do, and what I believe @bed428 would like to do too, is to stream the same content on both the PC and the Google Home device/group. I don't have a Google Home device in the room with my PC, but I do have a few around other parts of the house. I would simply like for the PC to also play what's playing on the Google Home device group throughout the rest of the house, so I can hear the music in all the rooms and I go about my business at home. This does not at all seem to contradict the fact that Spotify is for personal use only as I am the only one using the account.

We can already create a group of Google Home devices and cast to all of them simultaneously. What's the difference then in including the PC into this playback group?
