Play Music Using Bluetooth


Play Music on Bluetooth Headphones


You can also connect a set of Bluetooth headphones through the Google Home speaker and app.


Step 1
❱ Turn on your Bluetooth headphones;
placing them in pairing mode; this is normally
done by pressing the pairing button on your
headphones (a light will usually flash to tell
you). Now open the Google Home app on
your Android device and select the speaker
you want to connect to.


Step 2
❱ Tap the Settings button and scroll
down to find the Bluetooth options. Tap
“Default music speaker” and then tap
“Pair Bluetooth speaker”. It will then scan
for available headphones (or speakers)
and allow you to connect by tapping the
name in the list of available devices.

Step 3
❱ You can only have one connected
speaker or headphones to play music
through at a time. Once you pair and
connect your speaker to a Google Home,
it will auto-connect unless the speaker is
disconnected. You can use normal Google
Assistant commands to play music.

Step 4
❱ To play music through the connected
speaker, just use whichever music player
you normally use to play your device
music. When connected to the speaker
using Bluetooth, anything you play (from
MP3 files to YouTube videos) will play
through the speaker.


Step 5
❱ You can also use voice commands to tell
your Google Home speaker to play music
that is stored on your mobile device. Just
say “Hey Google <song name> or <playlist
name>.” You can use all of the normal
music voice commands to pause, stop,
skip, change volume, etc.

Step 6
❱ To unpair the devices, open the Google
Home app and find the device card for
the Google Home that you want to unpair.
Open the device settings and then go to
Paired Bluetooth devices. Tap the X next
to the device that you want to unpair and
then tap Unpair.
