Use the Google Home App on PC With an Android Emulator
Install an Android emulator for Windows to run Android apps on your PC. For example, BlueStacks installs and runs several Android applications, including the Google Home app. The overall functionality will be similar.
Use Google Chrome to Control Google Home Devices
Google Chrome mimics some of the functionality of the Google Home app, but it’s limited. For example, you cannot set up Google Home devices using the Chrome browser, so you still need a mobile device or Android emulator for that. However, you can cast or stream to any of your Google Home or Chromecast devices using Chrome. Update to the latest version of Chrome and verify that your PC and Google Home device both connect to the same Wi-Fi network. To cast or stream to a Google Home device, select the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of Chrome or right-click an empty area of the page, and then choose Cast followed by your device.
Can You Control All Google Home Devices From Your PC?
With an emulator, you have full access to all Google Home features. However, with the browser, you cannot set up new devices. It is also possible to install Google Assistant on Windows to take full advantage of Google’s virtual assistant. However, voice support is limited to streaming media from Chrome to Google Home devices—you’ll only enjoy a few simple commands, such as Stop and Max volume.
