- One thought on “How to Turn Google Home Mini Into a Bluetooth Speaker”
Follow the same steps you used for connecting a Bluetooth device to disconnect it. You can even use voice commands for your Google Home Mini to disconnect it, just say “Disconnect Bluetooth”. The Google Home app will walk you through the steps to set up your Google Nest or Home speaker or display. You may follow these steps to pair and connect Google Home to a Bluetooth speaker. I wanted use my PC (HP Eliteone with Bang&Olafson speakers) playing the music from the Home nest hub to my PC. So the music going to my PC not from my Pc to home.
That is how to set up and use your Google Home Mini as a Bluetooth speaker. No separate speakers are necessary, although it is possible to connect multiple devices at the same time using the Bluetooth pairing advice we gave you. These are Android and Apple tablets and smartphones. You can actually use a macOS or Windows device as well, if you prefer computers. We’ll show you the steps for those devices too, but let’s start with the Google Home app method.
My speaker or display is not connecting to Wi-Fi
I am at home, and want it to work from my computer. NOT A PHONE. Why isn’t this written on the package? I just wasted my time going across town to get this stupid product. I am NOT going to buy a cell phone and downgrade from 5G just to use this toy. I am in the process of creating a virtual phone using Google’s Android Studio, but now I realize that it also runs off of the same network I have which is 5G, so it won’t work either.
You can connect Google Home to several Bluetooth speakers simultaneously. Either add multiple speakers through the app so you can pick which one to play music on, or create a speaker group to play the same music across multiple speakers at once. As shown below, the newly connected Bluetooth speaker is listed together with other possible audio output devices for this Google Home device. Now, in the device settings page, you can find the Bluetooth speaker is listed as the default music speaker as shown above.
Step 1: Start Home app
Scroll down to Device settings and tap Speaker pair. For these uses and more, here are some ideas for taking advantage of Google Home's new stereo pairing feature as well as how to set them all up. Connecting a pair of Google Home or Nest Home speakers can transform your laptop and TV listening experience. In summary, you can use Google Home Mini as a wireless portable speaker to listen to music wirelessly. This will come in handy particularly when you are travelling. All you need to do is connect your mini to your music source, via Bluetooth or WIFI and enjoy your favourite music.
One of the best things about Google Home is that you can use it as a hands-free device for your smartphone. This means that you can control your phone without having to fumble with the touchscreen. Google home mini is, like the name suggests, a mini version of Google home and it’s compatible with Bluetooth devices. Let me show you how to use Google home mini as a Bluetooth speaker. It is easy to pair your home mini with an existing speaker and works seamlessly without any special setup required.
Method 3: Connect Google Home mini to Firestick as Bluetooth speaker
Conversely, you can also try pairing by utilizing voice commands. As all Google commands work, you need to start with, “Okay, Google” and then say, “connect to Bluetooth”. There are various ways to circumvent this.
Then on the bottom-right corner you will find the “Enable Pairing Mode” option. A message will pop-up saying ‘Pairing Mode Active’, confirming that your Google Home Mini is in pairing mode now. Click on the Add (+) button in the bottom right-hand corner and your Android device will start searching for Chromecast enabled devices on your network.
If you have multiple Nest speakers or Nest displays in your home, you can broadcast to certain ones or to the entire house. This is great when your kids are in their bedrooms, and you want to let them know dinner’s ready without yelling at the top of your lungs. If you’re not fond of automatic EQs, you can always adjust the speaker’s sound signature from the Google Home app. Google provides users with a basic equalizer, and I do mean basic. You can adjust the bass and treble to be “less” and “more.” Yes, that’s all you get.
Google Home Mini is now in Bluetooth pairing enabled mode. Or you can go to your Google Home app, there select the speaker you wish to connect to, and then go to settings. Google Home Mini is a small speaker, which can be used to play music from your smartphone, tablet or any other Bluetooth enabled device. Put your Bluetooth speaker into pairing mode.
If Google Home is having trouble hearing you after you've paired the speaker, make sure you're talking to Google Home itself and not the newly paired speaker. The microphone is on Google Home. Next time, after you turn on the Bluetooth speaker, Google Home ail NOT automatically switch back to the Bluetooth speaker. Now, Google Home will start to search for nearby Bluetooth speakers as shown above.
Google provides a proprietary power adapter to keep Nest Audio chugging along. It’s easy to move the speaker from room to room as long as an outlet is within 1.5 meters. Media EQ and Ambient IQ promise to enhance the sound quality of your Google Nest product. Media EQ, not to be confused with Google’s Room EQ, dynamically changes the sound signature of your speaker spending on the type of media. In other words, Nest Audio uses a different tuning for music relative to the one used for Google Assistant responses.
Take a listen below as I speak from different distances and rub my hands together to create background noise. A 75mm mid-woofer and 19mm tweeter lie beneath the Nest Audio’s cloth exterior. This two-pronged approach allocates bass and midrange reproduction to the woofer, while the tweeter is tasked with high-frequency output. Sub-bass notes are still nearly inaudible due to physical limitations, so you won’t feel a skull-shaking bump.
Below these invisible panels are four centered LEDs that alight to indicate Google Assistant activation, Bluetooth pairing mode, when you’re in a call, and more. If you choose to mute the microphone, the four LEDs will remain amber until overridden by another function. After Google Home mini responds to your command , you can open the Google Home app on the phone and check the device settings to see what the default music speaker is. If it lists itself, it means the Bluetooth connection to the speaker is lost. Just say “Hey Google, Enable Bluetooth Pairing”, with your voice.
