Hey Walter, it should be up at the top near 'Media' and 'Call Home'. I guess there could be a difference depending on where you are in the world? As some areas/languages may not support Routines. I've also read that for Routines to work you need to have the phone language set to the primary language of the country you are in. I hope that helps! Let us know how you get on.
How do I hook up my? Android phone to my Samsung TV my TV is not connected to the internet. But my phone is. Can this be done with Chromecast or something else?
Hi David, yes. A Chromecast would be the perfect thing to get your TV online and give you several options to share your content from mobile to the big screen. The next question would be, what content is it that you want to share? There are lots and lots and lots or cast-enabled apps, so you could just tap on the cast logo within those apps and share it with whatever you've called your Chromecast. But if you buy Chromecast with Google TV, you'll effectively have the smart TV functionality built-in, so might be able to navigate to that online content or app with the remote or by asking Google Assistant. Happy viewing ☺
Hi Tom On the main menu, under my home, it says "not connected" but my 2 devices seem to be connected just fine and i can use them. Am I missing something? Thnx in advance :)
Hi Grando, wow, how strange. Do you have multiple Google Accounts on the phone? Could you be on the wrong account (change them by swyping or tapping your icon/picture) but your devices are set up and connected to the other account?
Thanks for the question! With Disney+ on Nest Hub Max you have to ask for a specific film or series title. Asking for Disney+ or Star Wars won't work. But asking for A New Hope or Avengers Endgame or Star Wars Rebels will 😁👍
Yes, if your Nest Mini isn't available or you're not within range you can use your Pixel (or Android phone). If you Nest Speaker or display is within range/available then your phone will know to let that answer you, as long as they're signed into the same Google account 🖖
Hey Charlie, if you don't have Google Wifi or Nest Wifi yet then just head to the Home app and tap on the + sign (top left of the home screen), tap 'Set up device' then 'New device' and either select the Home you'll be adding to or if you haven't created one yet, create a Home. Then the Home app will look for new products, make sure the router or Wifi point you'll be using as a router is powered on, and select it from the list. Follow the on-screen instructions within the Google Home app and photo the QR code on the bottom of the router when asked. The Home app will then guide you through setting up and positioning your other Wifi points.
Hey Sorin, Routines are a really great addition to the Google Home app but are not part of the Google app. The Google Home app is free and available on Google Play and the App store though.
Thanks! I've got several home devices. What's the easiest way to set up a shortcut to a device without having to open the home app ? (It used to be on the power button)
Hey Rob, at the moment on the latest version of Android one of the Quick Settings buttons that can be accessed from the notification shade is My Home. That would be a way to quick access or turn off/on some smart home devices.
Hey Mohammad, yes. It's possible to control all of your compatible smart home things through the Google Home app and as long as you and the things that you want to control have an internet connection, you could be anywhere. Another city or another country makes no difference :) Additionally, you can have multiple 'homes' in the Google Home app, so you can keep everything separate if you're living between two places.
Hey Nantambu, if you go through the setup process on Google Home, Wifi shpuld be an option. Go to the + in the top right hand side, select 'Set up device' and New device, choose the correct Home and then scrole down and select Wi-Fi ad follow the instructions. 😊
My Google home keeps telling my Google home isn't set up yet. "You have to have an app set up on a phone or tablet," I've tried to set this up so many times I could do it in my sleep. It's not that I haven't done it before, the Home system was working for about three years before it suddenly stopped one day about three months ago. Now, I'm tearing my BL.....y hair out trying to fix it. It just won't recognize my phone, no matter what I do. I've changed my account name, deleted everything off my phone and still it hates me.
Hi Tom how do you use your Google home device with TH-cam premium if if you could make a video to explain how to use google home with different apps and website
Hey Kurtis, great idea for another video, thanks! To help you in the meantime, all you have to do is go to the Google Home app, tap on the + icon at the top left, tap Music and then TH-cam Music. Sign in with your TH-cam Premium details and you have all of the benefits of TH-cam Music. For TH-cam itself, all you have to do is make sure that the Google Account paired with your voice match and Home app is the same one that you have a subscription for TH-cam Premium on and you should get all of the benefits when asking for content. If you have multiple voices and Google accounts paired in your household a TH-cam Premium family membership is a great option so that everybody can benefit.
Can you please help. My mom is losing her sight and she can’t see apps(security alarm…)make outgoing calls, and receive calls from her apple 11 phone. Is there a device that you could recommend?Ty
Hi Linda, It's certainly possible to make and answer calls, verbally, Pixel Phones with Google Assistant. And you can make Meet calls and video calls on Google Nest speakers and displays, verbally, with Google Assistant... We can't really advise on iPhones but it might be worth checking if Siri can do the same on your mom's iPhone? And how easy that will be for her. Good luck
I don't fully understand what is going on with Google Home but the QOL and service has been consistently degrading for the last few years. It doesn't even seem like it's from neglect, yall just keep changing the system in ways that negatively impact operations. Heck this training video isn't even valid anymore with the new UI which from what can tell adds zero positive to the platform. I really hope yall can sort this out because it really doesn't look good.
Hey Paul, if this happens you can try refreshing the web page, as this may due to the webpage timing out, some network problems or poor internet connection.
Hi! It's called 'Home' and looks like a house shape on a white background. You should be able to find it by searching, or it's usually the last app on your home screen. Hope that helps!
Hi Rakan, you can then follow the in app instructions to complete the setup process. Once your new device is ready and connected to the internet can can add it to a specific room and start using it straight away.
Good question! If you open the Google Home app, tap Settings Settings and then Add. Then select Home and it will guide you through setting up another home. You can have up to 5 homes in your account. Hope that helps!
Would you be able to tell me how to move a device in the local menus to the home menus?
why I cannot see the ROUTINES icon on my google home app. BTW I'm an IOS user. Thanks for the help

Hello can you next week try to see if this is fixed when we ask google nest hub max to open Disney plus it opens the display screen please
Thanks for the question! With Disney+ on Nest Hub Max you have to ask for a specific film or series title. Asking for Disney+ or Star Wars won't work. But asking for A New Hope or Avengers Endgame or Star Wars Rebels will 😁👍
If the nest mini is not available, can you do voice command using your phone?
Yes, if your Nest Mini isn't available or you're not within range you can use your Pixel (or Android phone). If you Nest Speaker or display is within range/available then your phone will know to let that answer you, as long as they're signed into the same Google account 🖖
How do i set up google mesh wifi? It used to have an app but now its integrated into google home.

I am using a camera and a wifi based light through google home in another city. Can I operate it from my phone from some other city through internet.

Is it possible to connect to the Google Home app while you are not at home ? For example to turn off a smart light that was left switched on.
Yes it is.
I do it all the time.
You can do it using your phone.

Hi Tom
I am having some issues trying to play videos on TH-cam, it just says that is not available at the moment, could you give me a hand with that
Hey Paul, if this happens you can try refreshing the web page, as this may due to the webpage timing out, some network problems or poor internet connection.
I downloaded the app. Where is the icon to open it or how do I get there?
Hi! It's called 'Home' and looks like a house shape on a white background. You should be able to find it by searching, or it's usually the last app on your home screen. Hope that helps!

Hi Rakan, you can then follow the in app instructions to complete the setup process. Once your new device is ready and connected to the internet can can add it to a specific room and start using it straight away.
