  • 5 Google Home Commands that I have found to be the most useful for day to day use.
    These are some of the commands that I personally use the most often and also not very common. So I hope you learn a few new useful commands and tricks from this video!
    All 5 commands work with both the Google Home Mini and the original full size Google Home Speakers.
    If you have any other useful google home commands leave them in a comment below, I would love to learn some new ones myself!

    Remember to ALWAYS be nice to your Google Home, in case one day it becomes self-aware and remembers all the mean things you said to it!

  • @boreguarde
    @boreguarde 5 лет назад +210

    You can get the Google home to stop playing after a certain amount of time with a sleep timer. Say "set a sleep timer for 15 minutes". And the Home will stop playing after 15 minutes. No need to let it play all night.

      Or "play rain sounds for x minutes" or "stop speaker in x minutes"

    Awesome, didn't think of using it as rain sound, love that. Some of our favorite uses: turning on and off lights, controlling temperature, as a metronome for practicing violin, connecting to You Version for Bible reading, using it as a translator just for fun, listening to riddles, timer for cooking and time outs, streaming radio, calling fam/friends while cooking without having to stop, wash my heands etc, and picking random numbers which is very useful when teaching a getting students without using the old popsicle sticks numbers thingy

      @larenzocizzle9371 4 года назад +2

      Pamela Alvarez you have to already be a Spotify premium user which is the $9.99 a month plan. This offer is only for people who been a premium user, does not apply to people just signing up for premium. Spotify is awesome idk why people don’t just use premium.. $9.99 a month is cheap and you get Hulu along with it and now they’re giving a free google home mini!

I was like what. I played it again and it said “Ok let me get my game show hat on” so then I answered 5 questions. Then I was like is there more passages. So that’s why I’m here. And great video.

      You can pair a Bluetooth speaker with Google Home in the device settings section of the Home app. Just set it as your default speaker. Your Home device will still listen for your commands, but will route all audio through the connected Bluetooth speaker
      Hope this helped.
