I find talking/shouting at it gets too unpredictable results.

I have just bought a Microsoft Surface Pro 12 Tablet and seek a tutorial on what to download on to my Tablet to "contact" one or both speakers in the house to play such as BBC Listen again Radio programmes via Bluetoo or even my WiFi Router .

To connect a tablet to Google speakers, use Bluetooth via the Google Home app for best results: open the app, select the speaker, go to Settings > Audio > Paired Bluetooth devices to enable pairing mode. Alternatively, pair directly via your tablet’s Bluetooth settings. You can also cast audio directly via Wi-Fi.

Thank you - I should have said I am using a Windows 11 Surface tablet - so presume that would be via a Browser?

Connecting a Windows 11 Surface device to Google Nest or Home speakers is best achieved via Bluetooth for system-wide audio, or Google Chrome for casting browser audio.
