    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 6 лет назад +211

    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.

    • @jamesb5737

      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

    Try "Hey Google, play rain sounds for 1hr". It'll be play an hr before stopping the track.
    This works for Spotify too, I use it to play some nice guitar music for 45 mins when going to bed sometimes or playing music when I get up :)

    You want a tip? When you talk about a list of features then keep the # on the screen. If I jump to 2:30 I have no idea if you're talking about #2, #3 or #4. Having the # on the screen will make it easier to jump around the video.

    The only reason I was at this is because I got one today for Christmas. I recorded myself saying “Hey Google, im going to ask you some questions” then she was like you unlocked a game passage. 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.

    • @Venomous734

      It's still 2 mono speakers with bluetooth on. Bluetooth just takes away the need for a connecting cable between your google mini and the device you're playing the music from.
