Using Google Chrome for Google Home
After you install an emulator, Google Chrome allows you to use some of the functionality the Google Home app provides on a Mac, but it’s limited to only media casting. Before you’re able to do so, you must ensure Google Chrome is updated to the latest version.
Use Google Home App on Mac via an Android Emulator
Since the Google Home app is only supported on Android and iOS devices, you must install an emulator to run the Android operating system on your macOS device. There are several Android emulators, so it’s a matter of preference and the resources you have available on your Mac. One of the well-known emulators, Bluestacks, allows you to install and run several Android applications, including the Google Home app.
Differences From Using an Android or iOS Device
Overall, functionality is largely the same; once you’ve set up the emulator, you can achieve the same results, as you essentially have Android running on your Mac. However, some extra work is required to get the emulator set up, making the whole setup process a little more involved.
