How to Cast Audible to Chromecast Devices

Part 1. How to Cast Audible to Chromecast from the Audible App (Android & iOS)

The Audible app now lets you cast audiobooks to a Chromecast or any Google Cast speaker on Android and iOS.

Prerequisites:

Casting Audible to Chromecast from the Audible App:

Step 1 Open Audible on your phone or tablet.

Step 2 Tap the audiobook you want to play to open the player.

Step 3 Find the Cast icon in the top-right corner.

Step 4 Pick your Chromecast or Cast-enabled speaker from the list.

Step 5 When the icon changes color, you're connected and the audiobook starts playing through your device.

You can use your phone to control playback and volume. You can also leave the app or turn off your screen without stopping the audio.

Bonus tip: If the Connect to a device button does not appear in your Audible app, it is likely because other Chromecast-compatible apps, like Spotify, Google Play Music, YouTube, or others, are blocking Audible from accessing it. To fix this, you can force stop these apps on Android, or offload or uninstall them on iPhone.

Part 2. How to Cast Audible to Chromecast from the Google Home App (Android & iOS)

If you want to cast all audio from your device, or if Audible's built-in casting isn't working, the Google Home app is a better option.

Step 2 Find your Chromecast or Google Cast device on the main screen.

• Android: Tap Cast my audio or Cast screen/audio.



• iOS: Tap the Cast button on the device card (full audio mirroring may not be available on iOS; if not, use the Audible app method in Part 1).

Step 3A pop-up will appear confirming you want to cast your screen/audio. Tap Cast screen or Start Now.

Step 4 Once your device is mirroring audio, exit Google Home and open Audible.

Step 5 Play your audiobook and the audio will stream through your Chromecast.

You can control playback (play/pause/skip) from the Audible app while the audio plays on your Chromecast.
