My google home still went off I yelled at my google home saying "HOW DID YOU TRIGGER???!!! NO ONE SAID OK GO..." Thats when i realized i was talking to a piece of technology
I don't know about Google home but if you are in an argument around a Echo dot it will stop responding to any commands until it is unplugged and plugged back in.
For people playing a RPG like dungeons and dragons, you can actual specify what die you want the google home to roll. Example: "Hey Google, roll a 20 sided dice." or, "Hey Google, roll a d5."
So happy you cut out the trigger phrase. I have had this video in my watch later for over a year and have procrastinated watching it because I haven’t thought of how I would deal with all of those by turning the volume down or using headphones or something else idk. Thanks for doing that haha that would be a huge pain 101 times
I really... enjoyed your video. I subscribed by the end of the first two minutes and will definitely share with friends. Keep up the good work. Now, I'm going to watch your 1st video on how to set up.
Thanks! FINALLY a reviewer not obsessed with playing music on it! Your Q/A is much more of what I would use it for. I'm still not convinced, though that picking up my cell and asking the question is just as easy.
Great video, Brett. We successfully set up one Google Home in our kitchen. It works great with Chromcast video to control our TV. Now we want to have voice control access in multiple rooms and control other TV's, such as the Man Cave and bedroom. Do we need to purchase a Google Home unit for each room? Another question. Netflix video quality was grainy and sound wasn't loud enough when we pulled up The Jungle Book. We ended up using our own BluRay DVD to watch the movie. Thank you.
Pixiedust KT Great to hear! You can control each Chromecast device for the one Google home but it would have to be able to hear you. Getting a Google Home for each area is the recommended option. One benefit of having multiple devices is that you can group them together when playing music and they will be in sync throughout the house. I tested the Jungle Book as well and it took longer than normal to buffer the video to a high quality. You can use voice to pause the movie and wait a minute before you play to see if that helps. Then you will need to use your regular remote to adjust the volume.
Tech With Brett thanks so much. We love using this so much we're getting a third one. Your suggestion to play my music on all speakers brings up another question. Wondered how to sync Google Home with my iTunes music? I ask and get the reply "I'm not sure how to help with that." Thank you.
+Pixiedust KT You will need to follow this video and the one following to play your iTunes Music on the Google Home: th-cam.com/video/h2YwFV7SKpA/w-d-xo.html Voice activation is not there yet but it is easily able to play with the Play Music app.
Hey brett, how did you make it tell whats on your calendar? Or in other words, how do you put stuff in your calendar for the google home to remind you? Thanks!
+austin fisher Right now you cannot add events directly on the Home. You can search for some IFTTT recipes to be able to do this and I will make a upcoming video about it. You can ask, "What is on my agenda?" And that will tell you what is coming up soon from your calendar.
I have a google home speaker and a Chromecast. Is it possible that the audio for my chromecast can get pushed through my google home speaker rather than the regular TV audio? For example, when streaming Netflix, I would like the audio to come through my google home.
+Ice Ice KODI No, it will just start playing a radio station of the song you chose. If you have TH-cam Red that will give you a Google Play Music Subscription.
When you said Cafe Rio, I looked at your garments, then you said BYU! Some of us are easily spotted! I bought a Google Home, last week and got a free Chromecast. I got it at Walmart for $135 I moved to Miami, FL last year from Southern Utah (I miss the mountains) Great job on the video!
The main annoying thing in google home you have to call by 'ok google or hey google' a long word and you can not change it. in amazon alexa you can change the name and also its simple to call. I hope google will change the calling name to simple one.
Hi Brett, i have another quick question. Does the wifi strength or signal if its bad or good affect Google Home response? Because i feel like now when i say hey or ok google it will take probably 1 or 2 seconds to light up.
I too like my house 68°. I live in Florida and some people come in and say "It's cold in here!" C'mon it's Florida people. But It does get chilly inside.
+Dayron Marquez I believe that was only a limited time promo to get TH-cam Red for 6 months free. You might still be able to get one month free by going through TH-cam. Double check the offers in the Google Home app to be sure.
Does Google Home allow you to play audio right from TH-cam without using a phone and not using TH-cam Red? Just for example playing the music ONLY from a TH-cam movie trailer? Or if not this then can you at least cast a TH-cam video aka audio via the built in chrome cast functionality. From the phone to google home?
+Christopher Timpano Right now it connects direct with TH-cam Music. So if you don't have TH-cam Red it will just play a radio station from the service. The Chromecast Audio allows you to cast just the audio from your phone to a speaker on Android but I was not able to do that on the Google Home. There are adding Bluetooth to the Google Home so that means it will be possible soon.
Tech With Brett Awesome thanks. Now I got another question, whether the device is setup for one user or multiple users, the Google Home should be able to respond to everyone's voices in a family even though only 1 Google account is linked?
+Christopher Timpano Only when it recognizes you will it be able to give a personal response like asking it what your name is. The other 3 can use the Google Home and it will default to whatever services you have already selected. So it will work just fine, somethings might just say sorry I could not recognize voice but for the most part it will work just like normal.
+mixindave1 Yes you can. Try including "from my library" in your request. You can see full details here under the Advanced Voice commands: support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7030379#advancedcommands
well thats good. i have a few thousand songs on there already. im getting one as part of a google pixel 2 contract. although we do already own echo dots :/ haha
Something scary just happened to me with Google Home! It’s midnight and I was folding laundry. I started singing a Rodgers and Hammerstein song from Cinderella. In a minute, I heard the overture from the play on my Google Home! On the one hand, I was flattered that she recognized the music from my singing. But then I was frightened because she must have been listening to me even though I didn’t say , “hey google”! Is that something new?
Tech With Brett that’s the scary part! What triggered it and how did it hear me? Is it always listening? I wasn’t singing loudly and there was nothing that even sounds like a google trigger in the song.
Hi Brett, You mentioned removing keywords 'Ok Google' from your google home,can you explain how did you do that. I think this video doesn't explain that part? Thanks
+Huzefa I That was just for presentation purposes, I manually edited out everytime I said "Ok Google" so it didn't activate a Google Home you may have in the room. Sorry for not making that clear.
Huzefa I It would be cool if you could change the keyword or have a active listening mode where you are continually giving it commands but nothing like that is available. Maybe some feedback we should submit.
Tech With Brett Exactly..I was searching the net..if there was anything.. the home app allows you to give it a name..why not just recognize with a name and call it with its name..
My google home still went off
I yelled at my google home saying "HOW DID YOU TRIGGER???!!! NO ONE SAID OK GO..."
Thats when i realized i was talking to a piece of technology
You can ask her “who runs the world” and she wills respond with “girls”, and tell you why! I learned that today just if anybody wanted to know.
Cracked up on #56 ... then she says, 'Did it work?' Cracked up again ... great job.

Excellent. A very entertaining and thorough demonstration!
❤
"ENERGIZE!!!"..... "Did it work?" Laughed so hard when he actually did the effect... :)
you can also ask it to count to 100 , ask currency conversion, play songs of another language like hindi songs, and listen to Bible .
thanks, good thorough informative video and info/timestamps was a nice touch.
I was waiting for "what does the fox say?" when asking about the animal sounds lol
Good video bud! Thanks for the ideas
You're a riot Brett,😂 this is funny.
Oh and if you say what does the Fox say she has a funny answer it’s the same if you say do you wanna build a snowman but there is more than one answer

+Bluebird - Silvercreek Realty Group Right now there is no way to cast the Audio from your Chromecast to the Google Home.

do you have to have a google music acct to play the music on #27???
+Ice Ice KODI No, it will just start playing a radio station of the song you chose. If you have TH-cam Red that will give you a Google Play Music Subscription.
Tech With Brett thanks for your quick reply. continue doing these vids. very thorough.
Really opened my mind to the possibilities
When you said Cafe Rio, I looked at your garments, then you said BYU!

Will Google Home do anything with scriptures??? I'd like to listen to the Book of Mormon. I can't even get an amen!

More useful to ask Hey Google text ...(whomever) and speak the text message. Will it send from your contacts?
GREAT GREAT GREAT VIDEO
Just got one online and it's on the way, can't wait to use it after watching your video lol
How do you switch off the ‘ok google’? I find it very annoying to repeat ‘ok google’ or ‘heygoogle’ everytime i have to answer or continue asking.

You can tell google to sing a song and she sounds good also she knows happy birthday twinkle twinkle little star and the abc s
I so agree. Wouldn't it be fun for a child? It would just sing the song to them.for toddlers to learn the songs :)
Is there a way to slow the speaker down with google home?
