hello Automaters! Thanks for tuning in again you can see I have a brand new
Google Home Mini here this is the aqua version and what I'm going to do with
this video is get it set up from the very start of the process all the way to
the end and all the different features set up for you so I'm going to do as
much as I can today to get you as far as you can with your new Google Home Mini
device so down in the description below this video is indexed that means you can
go click on the different time codes in the description to go to the different
parts of the setup process that you're at you can skip back and forward
obviously and that's just going to make it a little bit easier for you to find
the topic that you're looking for so without further ado let's get going all
right now what you're going to find is there's a little tab here that you can
actually pull and open that up and that's the easiest method to actually
pull out your Google Home Mini so you can see there's that aqua color I
actually really like that color and on the back it's even greener so that's
quite an interesting little color there I think that's going to be a good accent
piece now additionally inside the box there's not a ton here you have the
manual which you're not going to need because that's why you're watching this
video and here's the power cord now it's important to note with the power cords
that they are all basically international ready obviously you know
that device isn't going to plug in to all the types of plugs around the world
but they are 100 to 240 volts capable so another thing about this power cable you
know you do get a couple of clips here ultimately I'm not really going to use
those clips any longer but you could use those clips to kind of tie wrap this if
it's really close in the other thing you're going to want to know and I know
that's stretching outside of the screen but that's at least a 6 foot cable here
to get you connected so now just a couple things left to go through
on the device physically here's the mute microphone component here or switch so
you can go ahead and you can move that back and forth to mute the microphone
this is where you're connecting that power cable right there and way on the
bottom here and this is going to be hard to see I'll try and make sure you can
see it there's a little button right there and that's actually how you
factory reset this button now once you do plug in the device and I'll show you
this your control buttons on either side are your volume and then you can also
start and stop music if it's currently playing just by a simple tap there on
the device alright now I've set the device over here and I'm going to go in
to my Google Home application here just before I get it plugged in you don't
have to go in before or after it really doesn't matter when you go into the
application but I'm going to leave it sitting there just so you can see it as
I plug this in the exact timeline of when everything happens so let's get
this plugged in so there I've just plugged it in and ran away you can see
the dots coming online here
welcome to Google Home to get started download the Google Home app on a phone
or tablet okay so that's a pretty common thing
there and you can see in my Google Home application it says set up one device so
it's already found that device is waiting to be set so now although it
showed up here in my Google Home application right away that might not
have happened for you could use the Add button here if that was not working for
you the other thing that might occur to you if this is your very first Google
Home Mini is you might need to log in with a Google account or either sign up
for a new Google account and you know either those two things that will be
important for you here one thing to think about with that
Google account before you go signing in or creating a new one this will be the
account that will drive a lot of your connected services so for example Google
photos that will be tied to your Google account same thing with the calendar
stalks a number of news things in the future I see being more and more tied to
your Google account as well so you know that Google account drives a lot as we
go here and I will show you those things as we get things set up here today so
I'm just going to start by hitting set up one device and now I have to choose a
number of things to get this set up so the first thing is the home that I'm
setting it up now I didn't show you that before but the home is more unlikely you
as a first person you're only going to have one and then otherwise if you have
more than one set up you're going to choose which will home you want it in
now why would you have multiple homes well that story is basically you know if
you want to segregate devices into different control schemes you can go
that way now it's looking for this Google Home Mini and it did find that
device if it didn't show up here for you there's some Wi-Fi troubleshooting steps
that I'm going to give you kind of towards the end of this setup process
now let's go ahead and move on click on the Google Home Mini that we have here
and now it's just going through a connection process
so the first question we've got did you hear that sound now I did hear the sound
if you didn't you can hit try again but yes I did hear that sound now do you
want to help improve Google Home Mini by sending them some statistics and things
I always choose no because I have a ton of these devices in my home at this
point and where is this device going to be
located so you're picking from the rooms and you know I have a number of rooms in
my home already if you don't you can go down here to the bottom and create new
rooms now this one's actually going to reside in the kitchen and I'm going to
put it on kind of a sideways stand but so I'm going to choose the kitchen for
now and now I'm choosing my Wi-Fi network a difference between you and I
here is that in the past I've put in credentials to my Wi-Fi network if you
haven't you're going to have to put in those credentials so this is a good
point to kind of stop for a second and talk about Wi-Fi network connection and
and some of the troubleshooting steps now what I'll tell you in general is
that Google is you know this device isn't going to make a lot of mistakes
unless you have a real problem device you're more likely issue is Wi-Fi
network traffic so a couple things to think about when you're setting up a
device like this keep it away from a number of Wi-Fi broadcasting or 2.4
gigahertz broadcasting devices what I mean by that phones you know other smart
home devices broadcasting on that 2.4 gigahertz and the same thing goes for
your router you shouldn't have a ton of devices around that that are
broadcasting or utilizing that signal that can create a lot of interference in
your home network so number one you kind of want to limit the direct interaction
of Wi-Fi products right next to these devices another thing you can do if
you're not making that connection or you're not seeing the Google Home Mini
is you can bring it a little closer to your router and keep your phone in
the general vicinity as you go through this not really close you can see I'm
I'm less than a meter away here that works just fine but four to six meters
in terms of distance between the Google Home Mini and your router is ideal and
that's actually what Google tells you on their support website the other thing
you can do is really just reset your router you should be able to pull that
cable right out the back wait a bit wait about 30 seconds plug it back in and it
should bring everything back up just normally it'll take about a minute and
you can tell that that's worked by watching your your Wi-Fi signal on your
phone does your phone reconnect to that Wi-Fi once it does then I think you can
go ahead within the next five to ten seconds go ahead and try and reconnect
to this device so those kind of help you to get Wi-Fi connected after that you're
going to want to talk to Google support directly so Support.Google.com that will
redirect to the chat available for your country and they will call you if
there's you know significant issues and you need them them to walk you through
some things so because everyone's Wi-Fi set we're set up is is different their
network is different that's about as much as I can help you with in terms of
troubleshooting your Wi-Fi connection now like I said it's time to go forward
here and connect this device to Wi-Fi you would have to put in your Wi-Fi
credentials if they weren't already saved to Google and once it makes this
connection you will have the opportunity to save that network to Google's
basically to their database and therefore you will never have to put in
those credentials on another Google Home related product next up is the Google
Assistant set up so now the physical device is set up here but we need to get
the assistant which powers the device set up now they're just telling you
about their partners and how they share data and I you should read that don't
get me wrong I'm just gonna hit next because I've read it a few hundred times
but it's just telling you about how they share your data
now the next thing is teaching your voice assistant to recognize your voice
so whenever you speak to your Google Home product you're going to have the
ability to be recognized and that means you can get things like personal results
which are calendars and your work location or your home location kind of a
navigation component there you can call people utilize that functionality as
well and utilize your contacts in your device here so you can go ahead you can
view more but ultimately you want to agree and then it's going to ask you to
teach the Google Assistant your voice so what you'll actually do is speak to your
Google Assistant enabled device and they just they just run you through what you
have to say it's usually just the wake word four times so once you've done that
now we're talking about personal results and actually turning that feature on now
personal results again contacts calendars all those things that are
personal to you you can go ahead and put them in and get them out and interact
with the device on a more personal level so in general I'll tell you you want to
agree to that next up into your address this is where you live so this is the
first thing you're putting in in general I'd say do that if you want to ask about
navigation like how long is it going to take me to get here or there to work for
example because you're able to put in your work address later now in terms of
media services here you can see I already have three different connected
services this will look different for you depending on which country you're in
and which services you already have connected you can see the little plus
button down there by Deezer and if I hit that it's asking me to link my account
this is all you have to do linking your account and you're going to see this
time and time again as we go through this process it's really just putting in
your credentials to that account so I don't actually have a Deezer account I'm
going to hit cancel but you can see that I have the three other services here so
once you've added your media services you go ahead you hit
and now you have to choose your default music service so you can pick from the
ones you've connected and you can say you know this is the one I want to use
the most i'm using Google play music cuz i have lots of playlists and and things
set up in there so no this is the very last component you could sit here and
you could scroll through all the different things you've set up but
you're done and now all you need to do is hit next and the complete setup
process is actually complete so now you'll notice it said that it was called
the kitchen speaker that's because of the room I put it in at the start we can
change that name later so don't worry about that too much but ultimately we're
all done the setup process for your Google Home Mini now that's just the
basic process so what we're going to do next go through the application and the
device settings kind of show you how to navigate the application a little bit
and then show you how to modify the settings on this device and what that
actually does so we're gonna go through all kinds of demos here let's get going
back to the home page you probably won't have a ton of these things set up but I
want to run you through it here's the off button which allows you to turn off
lights in different rooms so what you're seeing are the rooms that you already
have in your application the on button is just the reverse of that so what you
can also do with this is you can actually speak to your device and tell
it to turn on the lights per room now because I've said it in the kitchen if I
had any lights in there and I don't currently have any light setup in my
kitchen then I could actually just say turn on the lights to the Google Home
device and it would contextually know which room it's in and turn on only
those lights so because it's in the kitchen it would turn on the kitchen
lights or turn off the kitchen lights what you can also do is call the room
out by name or say turn on all the lights and that will turn on all the
lights in your home so let me show you here real quick what that looks like
turn out the lights sure turning off seven lights it looks
like the life bulb isn't available right now turn on
the lights sure turning on seven lights turn off the
lights in the basement office you got it turning two lights off turn on the
lights in the basement living room okay turning the basement lamp on change the
basement office light to red you got it changing to lights to red turn on the TV
you got it turning on the TV turn off the TV okay
turning the TV off alright now the play button allows you
to just start and it's kind of random music it'll be based on your preferences
for the most part but it allows you to pick any group that you've set up so any
multi-room audio group any speaker that you have in your home related to the
Google Home or has having the Google Assistant on board a Chromecast Audio a
version 2 or version 3 chromecast device those are all showing up here but you
can see the kitchen speaker so I'm going to tap on that and it will start music
immediately from my default music service
enough of that now I don't know why I played that song but again it's kind of
random now here's the interface that came right up as soon as I hit play you
can see up at the top here there's an equaliser that I can go ahead and
utilize and I'll say in general with a Google Home Mini kind of want to turn up
the bass a little bit turn down the treble a little bit that'll kind of
balance the speaker out it's a little stronger in the mid and high ranges than
it is the bass range now the play and pause buttons you saw in the middle and
here's the volume control that I have as well you can see it physically changing
the device as well there you can also move back and forth in the song rate
through this and skip back thirty Seconds utilizing that button now you
can also stop casting and you can open the application your primary application
as long as it's located on the the device here you can open that
application and you could go and of course modify what's actually playing
and and then use this kind of a cast button to actually cast to that device
so let me run you through a more comprehensive demo on utilizing this
speaker for audio and then we'll get into multi-room audio here in a second
play fighters
okay playing Foo Fighters on Google Play
music
played Foo Fighters on Spotify okay playing Foo Fighters on Spotify volume
to 30% next song
stop okay so let's go through multi-room audio you're going to need that add
button now and you can see this create speaker group now I can go ahead and I
can choose any of my devices that I've set up here you can see my kitchen
speaker and I can go through and then I just hit next then I have to put in a
name and that creates it now what I'm actually going to show you instead of
creating that that would have been the end of the process is down here at the
bottom of the application here are my groups now what what does that do for
you well these are already my pre created one so I'm going to go into this
office group it's not playing anything right now but what I am going to do is
choose the devices that I want so I can go ahead and I can modify these groups
and I can add in my kitchen speaker right there so now I hit next and there
it's added into the group now if I didn't like the name of the group I
could change it up at the top here if I wanted to delete the group entirely I
could press that button right there so that allows you to manage those groups
as well and now now that we have this office group I can go ahead and start
the music on that by simply requesting my Google Home device to play on office
group
please Foo Fighters on office group sure foo fighters from Google Play Music
playing on office group
so there you go I think you've got an idea for music there's one more setting
later that I'll show you with with the device settings itself where you can
actually manage how long of a delay is between your different speakers so I'll
show you that in a little bit here alright so the next button down there is
the broadcast button and this feature I think is going to be improved a little
bit here as we go but what it does right now is allows you to push that button
say a message basically into your phone and then it will broadcast on all your
Google Home or Google Assistant enabled devices that are connected to the Google
Home app and to this home so that's one of the breakdowns there you can see I
tapped on home there and I move over and this is a different broadcast button it
looks the same obviously but you would be broadcasting to this home instead so
that's how you can start to break up devices a little bit now the features
that are improving here right away is the fact that you'll be able to use that
button if you're not on your Wi-Fi network here and then so so you're out
and about and you're on your phone you hit that broadcast button or you use the
Google Assistant app to broadcast then you're going to be able to broadcast to
home and that capability is there but what you will get soon is the ability to
have someone at home respond to you utilizing these devices so when that
happens you're going to see that ability so let me show you this and then I'll
talk a little bit about what we should see in the future
so hello how is everyone
so I think you can tell there's a few Google Assistant or Google Home devices
here in this room and it will sound a little confusing as you you put that out
if there's a number of devices sitting together now in the future and this is
what we're going to see I'm sure of it it just it hasn't even been announced by
Google but I'm sure you're going to have the ability to direct your broadcast at
different devices so essentially call your other devices so I think over time
we're going to see the capabilities of that button expand quite a bit so now
I'm going to walk through the device settings here for our Google Home Mini
so I've got a scroll down here and you can see all these different rooms I have
setup you might not have that but if I tap on the name of the room I can go
into that room see all the devices and then I can go into each device
separately I can modify the name I can modify the home it's in and I can modify
the room and if it's a connected service like this device which is connected to
Samsung smartthings I could hit the unlink button and then hit unlink again
essentially and take that rate out of the Google Home application now back to
my Google Home Minii so I can just tap on that and this is the interface I was
using before when we were playing music but up in the top right is the gear icon
and these are the device settings so this is specific to the device itself so
you can see the length accounts I know I'm kind of covering that up right now
but you can see the linked account so you could attach multiple accounts which
I'll show you how to do in a little bit the name the home the room and any
groups that it's been included in so you know when you set up a new device if you
come in here and you want to attach it to multiple groups there you go that's
all I had to do right there now you can see it's in all those other groups if
Wi-Fi is a problem when you're switching Wi-Fi services you can go in there and
go ahead and modify which one it's attached to Digital well-being is a very
interesting service here we could
set that up her device so when you come into your device here set it up and the
first thing we're going to do is set up filters now do I want to filter what
anyone can do with this device or only supervise the counts and guests so you
know for myself I've been voice matched anyone else I add to the home they can
be voice matched as well and then therefore if they're not a supervised
account which which you know in the future you're going to see kind of a
hierarchy I'm sure of this that's how home automation or automation in general
works you have a hierarchy of permissions so you know for now I'm just
going to leave it as supervised accounts and guests and I'm going to choose that
device I could choose multiple devices if I'd like so you can see I can do that
and then I hit next now what I want to allow from video perspective now because
this is a Google Home Mini you would think videos not really important but
later you will choose a default TV to play videos on so when you speak to this
can you restrict that content or do you want to restrict that content so do we
allow you know YouTube restricted mode probably not if this is going to be a
public device that a child is going to use you probably want to turn that off
so now in music do I want to allow any music or only non explicit music from
specific services now if you think about it you can have your default music
service be the one that allows explicit music and then you could use these other
services if you'd like you can kind of filter those or leave those so that any
music can play on those and you just simply tap on that a child would have to
know I want to play bad music on Spotify they would have to give that command if
that's not your default music service so that can help you manage basically all
of that content now do you want to allow calls and do you want to restrict
answers or only allow family-friendly actions now those are all
capabilities that can really really restrict your device obviously calls us
just calls do you want to make those calls allow anyone to make phone calls
do you want to restrict the answers which will vary very much restrict your
device down to things like weather and if you want to do that
go ahead that can be that can be the setting for your family that's okay now
family friendly actions this will kind of eliminate third party assistant type
of responses so you can go and get other actions from the Google Assistant store
and when you do that over time certain ones will have restricted tag or will
not be family friendly so if you want to restrict those things go ahead what I'd
say in general for phone calls I would allow you know anyone basically to make
phone calls either I'm at home or my child wants to call me for some reason
so why would I restrict that so now my filters are done and we're moving on to
downtime so when do I want this device to be quiet and you know block all the
distractions stop music and video and essentially still allow the alarms and
timers to work so if this is going to end up in a public space or it's going
to end up in a bedroom I think you're going to want to set up this downtime
you know again I can choose multiple devices if I'd like but and then I can
also choose which days I want that to happen so I can totally customize and I
could pick random days if I'd like hit next choose my downtime so when I want
it to start so 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. I'll just leave that 6 a.m. I hit next and
now that's it so from 11 to 6 this device is going to be quiet
other than alarms and timers so that's it now that digital well-being is set up
I can still go back in if I'd like and adjust those settings but ultimately
that is complete now here's the equalizer again inside of our device
settings and here's the group delay correction and what I'm going to tell
you is anytime you're casting to a group of
speakers and they're close by you're going to want to work with this screen
on multiple devices and what I'll tell you is find the song sign find the
device that is the furthest ahead in the song and find the device that is the
furthest behind in the song take that device that's the furthest behind and
delay it as much as you can or what you need to to catch it up to that other
device and when you do that everything else can be in the middle in terms of
synchronizing audio so that's the way to start the process and you just sit here
and you you change this slider right here it can be a little hard to grab
sometimes but there you go you change the slider and that's your
synchronization slider basically what I'll say is my Google Chromecast was the
device that was the furthest ahead in terms of how far the song had been
played into so it was the one that was the furthest ahead the one that was the
furthest behind was actually my Google Home my standard Google Home device this
was somewhere in the middle or very close to my Google Home and the Google
Chromecast the Chromecast Audio rather was very close to my Google Chromecast
so you know in general what I'll tell you to do is find the device that's the
furthest ahead in the song and find the device that's the furthest behind in the
song and what you do is you delay the speaker or the or the chromecast in my
case it was the chromecast I had to delay that the full 200 milliseconds
that you have use of the slider basically inside of the application
I had to defer that 200 milliseconds fully to get it to basically synchronize
with this device now that's what you have to do you identify the first and
last speaker and then you just make them all meet that last speaker based on
delay and unfortunately if you have too much delay for some reason you're not
going to be able to do this I wouldn't expect it it's kind
of expected that all the audio in your home should be around that time line but
if you have additional Wi-Fi devices like a Wi-Fi extender that's going to be
something that's going to add another delay to your system
if you have other hops or other hubs things that are kind of taking up lots
of traffic you may run into extra delay so now let me actually show you really
quickly you can see in the first part of this there is that funny delay and
really all I'm doing is moving that slider on my Google Chromecast
to match up with my Google Home here and then both of them are synchronized and
at that point I'm able to synchronize everything so you can see from the first
to the last part of this next demo the differential and you can actually hear
it synchronizing
now back into the device settings you can choose a default speaker so I could
choose any of those groups I've created or any of my other Google Home or Google
Assistant enabled devices I can choose those and that will allow me to whenever
I ask music to be played have it play on that other device you can also start the
pairing capability right here for pairing another Bluetooth speaker to
this device now you know in general what I'll say the process is a little bit
easier using your voice you just ask the Google Home device to enable bluetooth
so let me show you that here in a demo enable bluetooth alright looking for
paired devices alright to connect open Bluetooth settings and look for the
device called kitchen speaker
next song disable Bluetooth okay disconnected so there you go now I could
choose any default speaker but ultimately if I just don't choose
anything there it's going to use the the speaker itself when I ask it to play
music now choosing a default TV makes a lot more sense for a Google Home Mini so
I'm going to choose my basement Chrome device and so when I ask it to play
Netflix I don't have to say on basement Chrome it's going to play on that device
so if this is going to be set up in a certain space you can go ahead and make
that happen just with a very simple command alarms and timers very simple
you can set the volume separately if you'd like for alarms and timers then
we're into things like night mode night mode will basically bring the brightness
of the leds physically on the device down if you'd like and you can set it
also to for a certain time period on certain days and you can set it do not
disturb mode as well in at that night time the other thing it will do is
reduce the volume of responses so that's actually a nice that's actually a nice
setting and you can set these max volumes and max brightness on these
sliders down here so lots of control kind of in the evening so now back to do
not disturb mode this is a whole setting in and of itself and you can just turn
that on so it's gonna it's gonna mute everything basically except alarms and
timers there is a guest mode you know not something typically you're going to
want to use that means people can connect to your Google Home device in
general but the accessibility you know this is something that you might want to
start sound and an end sound let me show you the difference when I turn those on
thanks you're welcome so you'll notice those
sounds at the beginning and end and if I turn it off again thank you no problem
so no sounds there and that's what accessibility is and that can let you
know that your Google Home Mini or Google Home device heard you when you
turn on those start and end sounds I kind of like them they're paired
Bluetooth devices this is a list of the devices you've already paired so you can
enable the pairing mode rate here again we went through that demo for enabling
pairing reversing device control so you know if if you're turning this device on
its side nice that I was going to do this with my mini here if you're turning
this device on its side you might want to reverse the control so this just
allows you to actually reverse the volume controls
so a little bit more here lower the volume when listing in general I'll say
leave that setting on your device we'll hear you if music is playing it it will
hear that command that you're going to give once you've given that wake word
let others control your cast media this is you know only on Android devices and
it allows them if they'd like to adjust that connected or that media that's
being casted right now so you know that really works well if you have a number
of Android devices in the home and say you're playing Christmas music and you
want people to be able to change the music that's playing now help improve
Google Home Mini that was that device setting we did way earlier in the setup
process where we said you can send statistics and things to them but
there's the remove the device you can remove it from your home and reset it up
that's how you unlink it here from your home if you needed to and then down at
the bottom here's the system firmware version the cast firmware version
country codes the language that's that's primary on the device rate now you can
see the MAC address and the IP address so you can see a ton of information and
that's important as you go forward the cast firmware version is essentially
what tells you how many features you have with this device so moving back now
to the home page here I'm going to hit add and first we're going to go through
setup device and the reason I'm doing that is I want to show you how to
connect another service now I've already connected my Philip's you in the home
this process is going to be fairly similar to what you're going to see me
do but I'm going to tap down here where it says have something already set up so
this is where you go and you get your different connected devices in your home
connected to your Google Home so you can see already I have a number of different
devices here what I haven't connected or what I haven't connected in the new way
is called harmony now harmony is essentially a TV control hub that allows
you to control your cable and your DVD player blu-ray player and a bunch of
different devices that work off of IR and you get a remote with it so I use it
quite a bit and so I'm going to tap on harmony and now essentially what it's
going to ask me to do is connect the two services by signing in keep in mind I
already have harmony set up in my home I already have the application worked out
and that device is working in my home now
I used a Google Account to connect and set up Logitech's Harmony Hub way long
ago basically and now I just have to use that account you might have to sign in
with a username and a password I just have to tap that button so now I'm
authorizing the connection of these two services and actually I have multiple
harmony hubs in my home so I'm just going to tap on change which one here
just so you can see the full process this is the screen you would get it
would allow you to choose your harmony hub when you choose that you're just
hitting the arrow up at the top and now these are all my activities that I've
set up in the Harmony application so same as Phillips hue or or any service
you're connecting here what you're going to see is the different things you've
already set up they're basically going to show you a summary and allow you to
make slight modifications now I'm not going to change the ability to watch TV
so you know if I want to say the wake word turn on television I want it to
start the watch TV activity so that's what this is saying in terms of harmony
but we're not going to get into the details there too deep
I've just got to hit the next button a couple of times and now I'm hitting link
account and we're actually done that process so now as I hit the done what it
does in the Google Home application is bring up the devices that I'm
integrating so what this means is you know for Phillips you you're going to
see a bunch of bulbs and for this what you can see is my sono speaker is
connected to my Logitech my my movie game
flicks and TV those are those activities that we just imported and what I have to
do here is actually physically can place these in rooms so as I tap on game I
have to choose a home and then I have to choose a room now my harmony hub is in
the basement living room so I'm just really going to choose that a number of
times here and the only exception to that is my sono speaker is actually in a
different room so that's okay I'm going good I'm going to go ahead and choose
that different room that it's in and this is all I have to do with all my
different devices so here's my Sonos this one's actually here in my office
and I can go ahead hit next and my TV is the last one here that's in the basement
living room and now I've completed the linking and setup process I can undo
some of these things so what you're going to see is they're in my basement
living room I now see those harmony devices even though there are activities
and here's my TV I'll go back into that you can see I can change the name I can
change the home it's in and I can change the room and if I'd like I can tap
unlink harmony and go ahead and unlink that service as well so that's really it
now from there let me show you how to go ahead and actually use that
functionality turn on the TV
sure turning the TV on
so now backing out of there I want to show you in the settings screen a little
bit more in terms of your device settings so I've gone to the settings at
the bottom right and then I'm tapping on settings again and now I'm scrolling all
the way to the bottom and there is a more Settings way down here now the more
settings capability what I'll tell you is you know it's broken up into three
different sections here the personal info the assistant and the service is no
assistant is more kind of where the rubber hits the road anyways and you can
see additional assistant device settings down below here so this is the old
screen more or less for your device now you can see the device name the address
you can actually separate addresses for different devices the personal results
here no inside here you can see the device name the address you could set a
different address if you'd like I don't know why you'd ever do that personal
results here's where you can turn it on or off and notifications like reminders
on the device there's also a YouTube restricted mode and a TV content filter
that you can put on all the time right here so that's just a switch and you
want to disable YouTube for guests in general you can do that you can teach
your assistant your voice again and there's another capability of unlinking
this device so those settings sometimes can be a little hard to find so I just
wanted to skip over there really quickly and run you through that now back in
those settings I want to show you a few things that affect how you interact with
this device more of those are going to be in the assistant settings but the
nickname capability here you can change actually what it will call you when you
use something like a routine and the device is speaking back to you you can
actually hit that play button and it will play what it's using for a nickname
your places are your work and home addresses you can add those in or you
can delete them if you'd like with the exes there getting around how do you get
around and in in and around your home so you
know when you go to work that's that's the top here do you drive a car or do
you take public transportation now when you go around elsewhere do you take that
public transportation or do you walk or your bike now you're people here this is
where your contacts inside your device can actually you can actually use those
to remember things so we turned on personal results which is allowing my
phone to connect contacts here and as a result I can go ahead and I can attach
different remember memories or things to those contacts so let me show you a
little bit how this can work for you remember that Elizabeth's birthday is
August 3rd do you mean the contact named Elizabeth yes
now that birthday was August third is that right yes okay I'll remember that
Elizabeth's birthday is August 3rd okay now inside of your people
there's the birthday it's been remembered it's in the application now
going forward I'm going to get reminders and things about that so you you can
also set payment details this allows you to go ahead and order actually from
Google Home Google Assistant any Google Assistant enabled stores that have been
attached to this service so the weather is very simple Fahrenheit or Celsius
what do you want the weather in reservations and purchases really right
now they're not heavily used you can make reservations using Google Duplex
when it gets pushed to this device and purchases shows everything on your
Google account now moving over to the assistant settings here the languages
you can set to languages for your Google Home Mini so you can see that I've set
English United States here and English Canada but if you'd like you can utilize
other languages now what's kind of important here you know as I go and I
pick something like french-canadian if I want to speak french-canadian each of my
interactions with the Google Assistant has to be in that language now I can
switch during a continued conversation which we'll talk about here in a second
but each time I say a phrase and then pause for a response I have to use that
language so I can't skip back and forth okay so in general you want to use one
language per interaction now speaking of continued conversations once you turn
this on the microphone whenever you ask a question or you use the wake word the
microphone will sit on for seven seconds so let me show you what that looks like
what's the weather like right now in our Drazen it's minus three and mostly
cloudy today it'll be cloudy with a forecasted high of minus one and a low
of minus three so now it's done but it's still listening and this is continued
conversation now I could ask a follow-up question during this time period when
the mic is still open so let me show you what that looks like what's the weather
like today today in our dressin it'll be history and mostly cloudy what about
tomorrow in our dress in tomorrow it'll be partly cloudy with a high of zero and
a low of minus seven thank you not a problem so you can see number one I
closed that microphone quicker when I said thank you to the device after I was
done kind of speaking but I also just said what about tomorrow and I got
information about the weather tomorrow so I didn't have to you know say the
wake word again and then ask about the weather in my location tomorrow I just
said what about tomorrow so that's what continued conversation is it holds the
mic open and it allows you to contextually continue the conversation
with your device so now the next things are voice match home control routines
and email updates voice match we've already been through you could come in
here and reteach your device home control is a massive massive topic but
this part of the interface is actually the older part and you know I don't want
you to utilize this older part so much anymore but in general what you can do
is you can see your devices and if you wanted you could hit the add device and
connect another service you could also go into the rooms here hippy assign room
button and this allows you to assign rooms
masse but what I'll tell you about this is most of your devices or things that
are connected they're mostly scenes from applications and they shouldn't actually
have a room assigned to them so in general I'll say not really a useful
part of the application right now I'm going to show you how in a little bit
here to connect another service so give me some time there we'll get back to
connecting you know a device to your smart home so you can start to utilize
it with your Google Home device back down here routines now this is a thing
that it means its own whole set of videos here but ultimately the routines
section there are seven ready-made routines for you good morning is the
easiest one for you to go ahead and go into and you can modify what you can say
as a command and so you know when I say good morning it will start to do these
things now after that I can go ahead and I can
start modifying what works or what changes when I do this and in what order
so you can see the change order button here and I can just drag things up and
down as I go now the other thing I can do is I can check on certain things so I
could turn off all of these adjustment of lights and plugs and then I can go
into the settings and for each one I can choose whether to turn on a bulb turn it
off or don't change that bulb now I can do that for plugs and there's other
devices there I could adjust thermostats if I'd like and then you can see whether
commute calendar reminders and volume now we talked a little bit about the
calendar what is connected right now is that one you use with the Google account
so you can get those calendar reminders if you're on an iOS device this is a
much more complicated discussion and I'm not going to dedicate 20 minutes in this
video to making that synchronization happen that takes other videos here now
you get today's reminders you can adjust the media volume and then you can
play any sort of music so all of that happens when I just say good morning to
that device now let me show you what actually happens good morning good
afternoon Brian it is 1207 p.m. right now it's two
degrees and sunny there today it'll be mostly sunny with a forecasted high of
two and a low of minus seven on your way to work
traffic is light as usual it is 34 minutes by car have a wonderful day now
the other thing you can do in routines is create your own and you can set them
by a day in time so you can actually pick multiple days change the time and
have which speaker does this or which device does this so I could choose this
device to go on Mondays at noon we'll say and I don't have to say a command
I could add a command to trigger this with a command basis as well as being
able to trigger it utilizing that schedule then I can go and I can add
actions now here's where you can type any Google Assistant command so anything
you normally use with the Google Assistant you can go ahead and do that
the choosing of popular actions is that screen we were just in with a few more
options so you can go ahead you can use communication you can broadcast whatever
you want here and you know you can even have the device respond to you or some
in some way with some kind of response in general so now that's basically it
for assistant services here our assistant settings let's move over to
the services side of the application so we have voice and video calls now video
calls obviously don't matter for a Google Home Mini or a Google Home but
they matter for smart displays so let's go in there mobile calling available in
Canada the US and UK right now other countries will be added in the future
although it has been a long time so I don't know the timeline
here you basically put in your own number to this and you can when you do
that basically you get a text message and you have to put that code back in
here so that's all you have to do there in terms of calls on on speakers in
general and then you can make calls and you can use your contacts if you've
turned on personal results on this device so it's going to pull those
contacts for you Brian mobile or work mobile calling Brian mobile so now going
back there's the music services so again you can make adjustments to the services
if you wanted to unlink certain accounts you could you can see my Spotify could
unlink there these are if I wanted to again I can go ahead and link that
account if I'd like all right now news is a connected service here so what you
can do is you can add different news sources yours is going to look pretty
plain the first time you get in there you can switch which language those are
in so if you want Canadian specific news or news weather you can go ahead and do
that you can choose the different news services to add once you've added them
you can also change the order that they're in and we're starting to see
some of this video available on smart displays so you know that capability
that's very nice you can change the order and put that rate at the front if
you'd like to see that on a smart display next up are the photos and video
services now on Google Home or Google Home Mini you wouldn't think this is
really important but if you have a chromecast connecting these video
services is really important and if you have a smart display can I think Google
Photos helps you with what's called ambient mode now you know Netflix you
can see I've already integrated that account and YouTube kids all you have to
do is really hit link here and then put in your credentials to that service so
just the same as other smart home services or other services in general
now moving down to TVs and speakers this there's not a lot here but you can hit
the ad and you're adding Google cast devices so if you've added one of those
like a chromecast you can find it through that method as well in general
I'd say you can just use that ad button at the front to add devices like this as
well but that shows you all your different TVs and speakers that you can
use the calendar again this is exactly what we talked about before it's
attached to a Google Calendar application and so therefore the Google
account that you signed into and you used here is what's showing up here now
you could use different calendars if you had multiple calendars basically
integrated but you know for me I just have the one you could create the events
there so you know what I should probably do there is show you how to add and
manage your calendar event so let's go through a little demo here add a
calendar event what's the title of the event get to work okay when is the event
5:00 p.m. all right get to work today at 5 p.m. do you want to save that yes all
right it's on your calendar so there you go you can actually see it physically
here on the calendar it's shown up now I could modify it in here if I'd like I
can make adjustments to whether or not I'm getting notifications you can see
there's a default notification setting so again I'm not going to run through
all of this but I'm going to get 30 minutes before a notification now what I
also want to do here is show you how to manage a little bit what calendar events
do I have today there's one entry today at 5:00 p.m. you have get to work okay
so continuing on the shopping list here this is a capability that you can go
ahead and you can add other people too so you can create a shopping list
through your Google Home Mini device you can go ahead
you can add items and then you can manage it here in the application you
can also create a shortcut to this which I'll show in a different series of
videos if you need that for an Android or an iPhone device but up in the top
right you can click that plus and you can go ahead and you can add other
people to that list and then they can manage that list now in the future those
shopping lists are going to be replaced by Google Keep is what I'll tell you in
general and your stocks are down here now that's again attached to your Google
account so you can see how all these services are attached to your Google
accounts or for the most part they are so you know if you add in salt stocks
here you can just tap the add and then you're going to get those as you asked
now obviously with something like stocks you can just ask for a specific stock
from Google anyway so that's really just giving you hey my favorite stocks so so
moving over to settings up at the top you can actually switch between
different accounts and you're able to manage your Google Home with different
accounts you can attach them to different accounts and therefore that
allows you to give friends or other people living with you access again I'll
show you how to do that in a little bit you can skip between your two homes you
can look at all of the local devices on your Wi-Fi network and you think that's
just another shortcut basically back to that you can set up a device which is
that add button again at the front and there's the Settings button again so
there's more settings down here we'll get to all that stuff here back into the
add screen this is where you can create a new home again this more what I would
say this is more for if you want to split off and make sure your children
only have access to controlling certain things in your home say their lights in
their room but not the lights in the rest of the home you can actually create
a new home and pair those or put those items in that home and it will have a
separate control scheme and capability so you could do that if
you'd like right now let's kind of leave that let's go into the settings portion
of the application now so the first thing in settings is the name the
nickname for the home that's that front screen thing again who's in the
household so who have you invited in and again we'll go back to that add screen
and do that invite process and I'll show you how that that changes here so back
to add let's add a home member I'm going to choose someone you could put in a
name or an email and now what you're doing is you're inviting them to control
the devices you're inviting them to basically have their own voice match
capability you're inviting a whole bunch of things here so media services like
video books music all of those things and then they can manage your Google
Home application just the same as you can so you know people in general can
utilize your Google Home device just by simply coming in and asking to turn on
lights or turn off lights but what you're giving them with this is to
access all those controls and all those settings and really manage the home with
you so it's a different level all you have to do is keep hitting view more
until you get to the bottom and then you hit confirm and it sends an invitation
out to that individual now until they accept it they don't show up in the
household there so it's you know they have to accept that and then you've
invited them into your household basically so now let's just go over to
the settings page here the account page and you know I told you before this
Settings button we weren't really going to use and that's because it's straight
to the same screen that we just came from so everything's the same they're
now exploring the Google Assistant I've hit before the music we've seen before
but the difference with the music here when you tap on it from a Google
Assistant or you go in that from the Google Assistant app is a little bit
important actually so I want to show you actually as you go into the Google
Assistant here if you go and look for the
music services here so I'm going to tap up at the top I'm going to go to
services and I'm going to go to music now watch for the difference here so as
I scroll down now you'll notice one difference down here here's Apple music
and you see it only available on iOS devices and that's only available in the
Google Assistant application so no you cannot use a Google Home Mini or a
Google Home Hub and go direct to them and ask for Apple music to play however
here in the Google Assistant application you have some ability to play Apple
music so let me show you a couple instances of how that goes you do have
to do a little bit of extra work there once in there you can see the different
music services that are available you could choose any one as the default you
could choose no default if you wanted so down at the bottom you're going to see
Apple music now I'm using an iOS 11 point X device here that allows me to do
all of this so I have an updated Google Assistant application and my iPhone
device is iOS 11 now skipping over to the Google Assistant itself all I have
to do is tap on the little microphone icon at the bottom I'm going to ask it
to play royalty free music and you'll see the assistant responds sure it's a
ping and asking Apple music now let me show you I'm going to mute the mic on my
Google Home just so it doesn't trigger as I do this but what's really funny
about this demo is I'm actually connecting to an Amazon echo plus I
could do the same thing with the Google Home and then I would also have the
Google Home and its capability for controlling a phone
play royalty-free music on Apple music
next song volume down so in general the discover page here has your ambient mode
pictures everything that's being shown on your other cast-enabled devices so if
you have a chromecast in your home you can see right here I have two and those
allow me to go in and manage the ambient settings now it's not always going to
show up here not every device in your home is going to show up here so it's
kind of a discover page that's intended to let you learn about new functions I
don't use it a ton a you can come here anyways and learn about new functions
and capabilities anyways so let's skip over to browse where we have all of our
different connected music and video applications so you're able to actually
go into different applications this is the YouTube application so it's pulling
videos based on well I don't actually know cuz it's not like I watch anything
about george w bush ever but you know you also have netflix which i've already
connected and i'll show you how to do that later Google play music which we
saw at the start of the setup process and here's all the different services
that i've connected so you can see all those and finally there's more services
at the bottom here that you can go ahead and add as well in the account
preferences you know there's really only a couple things i want to talk about
here you can manage email notifications and you'd think okay I don't want email
notifications about anything but you do get some good emails about the Google
Home the assistant chromecast but you see that preview program right there
that gives you access to newer features if it's not there they're not accepting
new people into the preview program but for example this allowed my chromecast
to be updated earlier than other people's chromecast to allow me to
include the chromecast in multi-room audio before that was avail
publicly so you do get some good features a little bit earlier and you
won't have to be asking me when it's coming out if you turn that on now the
search on the watch history that's where you can go and you can manage your what
Google keeps the Wi-Fi history you can actually clear out accounts that you've
saved to Google if you didn't want them to have that anymore
locations app settings you can adjust those over time you can kind of explore
that now the next thing down below the account preferences their rooms groups
and devices so this is another way to interact with your different rooms so we
saw this earlier on the home screen there where we could go into the
different rooms and actually manage choose which devices are in there delete
those rooms if you'd like but the other thing that's here is you know like is a
group like other and this shows you a lot of other devices if they're not in a
room you're they're going to show up here but what it's actually showing me
mostly is scenes and things from Philips hue so that capability is there as well
and then you can see local devices and speaker groups and I can also go ahead
and hit add again and I'm back to the same interface screens so now down below
the ad there's a create new home button the ability to delete the home so those
are the if you're creating other homes within your Google Home application you
can go ahead and manage those there there's the shopping list again so you
can go into it you can add people again you can share that shopping list with
them again that's probably going to change the Google Keep here here's
another interface for voice match you can remove your devices you can invite
other people or teach your assistant your voice again then you have the music
and TV and video services again so here's your ability to add these
different services again or remove them or unlink them for services like Spotify
again we've already seen these things so I'm not gonna sit in them for a long
time the video and photos is there again but the more settings is really where
the rubbers hit the road here for us so let's take
some time and go through this this is a big piece of what you're doing with your
Google Home really in terms of the application there's a little more down
there but you know really in terms of the application we're done here so it's
really time to show you all of the different functions go through all of
that and show you how to interact with the device in conjunction with your
phone so the last thing I will tell you here in the Google Home application is
this feedback button and if you're wanting to send feedback there's a
couple of different ways and Google actually uses this this is what they
tell you to do all the time they bring this feedback together and that's how
they decide to add new features so if you're really bothered by something here
and you want to send them some feedback here's your ability there the other
thing you can do is actually speak to your Google Home device or Google
Assistant an able device and go ahead and just say I'd like to give some
feedback or send feedback to Google and then it will ask you to proceed with
your message to here's the latest news by the way you can also ask for news
