Podcasts, for example, can only be played on a single device. Alarms and timers are also limited to the device they're requested on. Once that's done, open the app and tap "get started" - you'll then be able to follow the instructions within the app to set up the speakers and connect them to your account. I use Google Home and have a few different speakers.
A similar process allows you to do the same for Netflix too, which ensures everyone's watching and listening to their favourite content without messing up other people's profiles. It's also worth getting each person to set up voice match properly to train Google Assistant to recognise the different voices in the home. If there's a delay between one device in the group and the others, use the group delay correction setting for that device to resolve the issue.
From your Nest display
On the next screen, you'll see a list of all the audio devices you have connected to your account. You can create any number of groups with any arrangement of speakers you want. Once all your devices are set up, it's time to start adding them to groups. Multiple speakers in one room will be automatically grouped together. However, say you want to add all speakers on a floor to a "Downstairs" group.
But there is a certain set of features which only come to life when you add a second Google Home or Nest smart speaker or display to your Wi-Fi network. This includes using the products as a home broadcast system, playing music through multiple speakers at once, and of course being able to interact with the Google Assistant throughout the home. Click on one of the additional accounts or tap on the drop-down menu and selectManage accounts to add a new one. After a new account is added or selected, go through the same setup process. Just know that if you teach Assistant the same voice for three different accounts, in our testing, Google Home will respond using the first account that was added with that voice. Now that's all set up, you can ask Google to play music in a certain group (ie, room.) For now this only works with music , so you can't play podcasts or audiobooks from multiple speakers at once.
Step 2. Set up both Google Home speakers
I'd like to be able to setup different speakers in different rooms and let each person listen to their own music, using their voice to choose what to listen to. Two of the accounts are standard Google accounts, two are child Google accounts. All is setup via Google Home and Google Family Link. The next phase of the setup process will let you choose the rooms in which each speaker will reside. If you have multiple speakers in one room, this can be a quick and easy way to group them together, but you can set up a multi-room group later in the process.
You'll also notice that on the Home screen of the Google Home app your speakers will be displayed in rooms e.g. 'Living room' and 'Bathroom' which is a handy way to glance at them. Tap the plus in the top left corner and then hit Create speaker group, which will show you speakers on your network. All Chromecast audio speakers or speakers with Chromecast built-in will also work together in a multi-room audio setup. You might be forgiven for thinking that a Google Home or Nest smart speaker multi-room music setup may not be possible.
Setting up multiple Google Nest devices
YES, you can physically link the Multiple Google Wifi points through a wired connection; the same is the case with Google Nest routers. It is all up to you whether you will use the Two of your Google Home speakers in the same room or not. But Yes, nothing is wrong with having two Google Homes in the same room; it all depends on your choice. On top of the silicone bases, with the bases placed in the middle of the bottom of the speakers.
Once you've made your choice, you can move onto the next step. A pioneering recommendation platform where you can research, discover, buy, and learn how to connect and optimize smart devices. Open the Google Home app and go to the device’s settings you want to modify or change.
Do I need to use Google’s Nest speakers?
The added benefit of adding multiple users is each member of the household can use voice matching to request music from their own preferred music streaming service. Theoretically, this means people will no longer ruin your Spotify playlists with their unwanted tunes. Unfortunately, Google does not support multi-room audio for other things you might like.
Group any combination of Google Nest or Home speakers and displays and Chromecast devices together for synchronous music throughout the home. Your music and audio from Chromecast-enabled apps are instantly available to stream. A speaker group is a set of speakers you define that lets the Google Home app know that you want those speakers to play audio in unison. When you create a group, it doesn’t change the ability the speaker has to play music by itself; rather, it just adds a separate button at the bottom of your main Google Home page for that particular group. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same accountas your Chromecast, or speaker or display. When playing on a group, you can adjust the volume of each speaker individually on each device itself.
You need to have Google Home and one other device that supports pairing with it. Check out this article for more info on How many Google speakers can you pair. If I ask Google Assistant to play music in the “Family room,” the Assistant will play my music on all three speakers at the same time. It might have a button that you have to press once or press-and-hold for a few seconds. Others might be connected to an app where you can enable pairing mode.
You can easily use Google Speakers without any Wifi Connection via Bluetooth. Connect your smartphone with Google Home and command it for Bluetooth Pairing. Search for the device that you want to connect and pair it. Now you can use your Google speakers without any Wifi connection and listen to your podcast, music and news.
As you know, Google Home needs a Wi-Fi source to work, but you can use it as a Bluetooth speaker without Wi-Fi, which can be surprising for you. Just connect your Google Mini with your smartphone via Bluetooth and have fun. YES, it is possible to connect multiple Google Minis simultaneously, but it still depends on where you are going to use the Google Mini speakers.
Assistant settings, device settings, and sound settings apply to the stereo pair and can't be changed on individual speakers. Has been its lack of support for multiple accounts. Living in a house with multiple people meant you either had to share things like calendar and music accounts or get multiple Google Home speakers. If you want to mix and match voice and smartphone controls, you can control your music by hitting the Cast button in an app like Spotify and doing things from there. When you connect Google Home to Bluetooth speakers, all music that you command through Google Home plays on the Bluetooth device. However, other things, like Google Assistant responses, alarms, and timers, continue to play through the Google Home's built-in speaker.
While Google makes some great speakers, speaker groups are not limited to Google-made devices. As a general rule of thumb, as long as the speaker works with Google Assistant and is seen in Google Home, you can more than likely place it in a speaker group.
