Play Music on Google Home
Playing Music on Google Home
Step 1
❱ Now you have your music services linked
to Google Home, you can start listening.
Exactly what music you can listen to
depends on which service you are using.
For example, you may not be able to
request certain songs by name if you only
have a Spotify Free account.
Step 2
❱ To play a specific song, say “Hey Google,
play <song name>,” “Hey Google, play
<song name> by <artist name>,” or “...play
<song name> on <music service>.” Certain
music services will also allow you to search
for songs by saying, “...play songs like
<song name>.”Step 3
❱ There are some specific commands for
the different music services, but all of them
will react to the general music control
commands. These are: “Play,” “Shuffle,”
“Pause,” “Resume,” “Stop,” “Next,” “Skip,” “What
song is playing?” “Volume up/down,” or “Set
volume to 5.”Step 4
❱ Guests and housemates cannot access
your library content if you’ve set up Voice
Match. However, you can give them access
by uploading your music to their account. If
you haven’t set up Voice Match, guests and
housemates can access music from your
library in the same way you can.
Step 5
❱ You can also play music from your
desktop Chrome browser on your Google
Home speaker (as long as the computer is
connected to the same Wi-Fi network). Open
the browser and start playing the music.
Click the Chrome menu button, select Cast
and choose the speaker to play through.Step 6
❱ You can use the Home app on your
Android device to control the music that is
playing on your speaker. Open the app and
tap the speaker name on the home tab.
Here you will see play and pause controls,
along with a volume slider. Tap the Equaliser
button to change bass and treble levels.
