    Remember to ALWAYS be nice to your Google Home, in case one day it becomes self-aware and remembers all the mean things you said to it!

  • @boreguarde
    @boreguarde 6 років тому +211

    You can get the Google home to stop playing after a certain amount of time with a sleep timer. Say "set a sleep timer for 15 minutes". And the Home will stop playing after 15 minutes. No need to let it play all night.

      Or "play rain sounds for x minutes" or "stop speaker in x minutes"

    Awesome, didn't think of using it as rain sound, love that. Some of our favorite uses: turning on and off lights, controlling temperature, as a metronome for practicing violin, connecting to You Version for Bible reading, using it as a translator just for fun, listening to riddles, timer for cooking and time outs, streaming radio, calling fam/friends while cooking without having to stop, wash my heands etc, and picking random numbers which is very useful when teaching a getting students without using the old popsicle sticks numbers thingy

    My 4 year old niece loves to ask Google to sing ABC’s with her. You can also tell google to count to 100...or any other number. She’ll even count backwards if you want. She also gets google to play tons of different animal sounds; “Hey google. What does a Horse say?”.

    Try "Hey Google, play rain sounds for 1hr". It'll be play an hr before stopping the track.
    This works for Spotify too, I use it to play some nice guitar music for 45 mins when going to bed sometimes or playing music when I get up :)

Jon Benjamin and he also does the voice Archer and the soccer coach on the cartoon Home Movies, and a lot more, I see his name in a lot of the adult swim cartoons. Dam I just realized that I am 40 years old and schooling people on friggin cartoons..."LIVING THE LIFE, THE HIGH LIFE"...LOL

    @oliviagriffith1368 6 років тому

    The only reason I was at this is because I got one today for Christmas. I recorded myself saying “Hey Google, im going to ask you some questions” then she was like you unlocked a game passage. I was like what. I played it again and it said “Ok let me get my game show hat on” so then I answered 5 questions. Then I was like is there more passages. So that’s why I’m here. And great video.

    You want a tip? When you talk about a list of features then keep the # on the screen. If I jump to 2:30 I have no idea if you're talking about #2, #3 or #4. Having the # on the screen will make it easier to jump around the video.

    • @Venomous734

      It's still 2 mono speakers with bluetooth on. Bluetooth just takes away the need for a connecting cable between your google mini and the device you're playing the music from.

    My mini tells me reminders intermittently. Also, I'm a bit confused... Do I need the assistant app as well as Google home and the Google calendar? Does it matter where the reminders are entered or how they are entered as long as they are of the Google family to get playback on the device?
