Guide to Cast ANY Video/Playlist from the YouTube App to your Google Home
This trick is very simple if you do it properly. Gammerson will be sending the YouTube video or playlist URL to the Google Home so it can independently handle playback on its own. To do this, we will take advantage of two different Tasker plug-ins: 1]AutoShare and2] AutoCast. AutoShare allows us to share the URL of the YouTube video/playlist from Android’s built-in share menu while AutoCast allows to cast that link to the Google Home via the Google Cast protocol so it can start playback on its ownThis the cleanest simplest option until google updates the youtube app to eable casting to the google home.So Lets start.
- First of fall setup both AutoShare and AutoCast.
- Then Open up AutoShare and make sure that AutoShare Command is checked underneath where it says “AutoShare Settings.”
- Then, tap on Manage Commands.
- After this You will now enter in the Commands creation screen.
- Up top, tap on the + icon to create a new command. Name it Cast to Home.
- It will now ask you to give the command an icon.

- Then, you have to Open AutoCast, click on Manage Cast Devices and press the ‘+’ icon to detect your Google Home devices. Add preferred devices in the list.
