7:10 WTF they brought this back on the nest mini, i thought they deliberately disabled it on the home mini because it was awkward or something ,so do they plan on bringing this back on the home mini now with a FW update? it already has the hardware to do so why would they not re-enable it and why did they change their mind about this in the 1st place, i can never make any sense of Google nonsensical decisions
I have a problem with my google home mini and it won’t respond the to ok or hey google. None of the features work like connecting or the mute button. I tried the reset button but it only shows a green light when I press and hold the lights. Do you know what to do about this?
@@carsonlee7554 well you should google "google home mini FW bricking some devices" i read that a FW update is bricking a lot of google home minis i also read that Google does not plan on replacing the units they destroyed and made inoperable with their borked FW update , so there is that but you can try doing a factory data reset 1st there is a hidden button under the rubber pad you need to hod it in for like 10 seconds or something to factory reset the device , if that does not fix it then it is most likely bricked
@@carsonlee7554 that sucks try to get them to replace it let me know if they do i would ave thought that this was over by now, i read about this like 3 weeks ago i figured if it hadn't already happened that we would be in the clear by now, but you are saying this happened to your recently right
I got my mini google home long ago and I love it, I paid $20.00 dollars was on Christmas sale, and now I have two, my daughter is fanatic about technology and she has her place running by itself and I am follow her. Thank you for all your tutoring.
I loved how you demonstrated the increased bass on the new one! I've watched a couple other comparison videos, and they played a song on one and then played it again on the other, and the viewer had to try to remember how it had sounded previously. Thanks for toggling back and forth during the same song -- it was way easier to compare!
That was an excellent video Brett ... I'm planning on purchasing a Google Nest Mini 2nd Gen ... and I like how you have titled your topics in the video and where to find them time-wise in the video ... and I must say everything was very well explained for us older folks!
Definitely hard to hear through the phone and it is hard to replicate. It is the same size of speaker so not much of a huge change but you can definitely tell the sound is more full.
I always get more from your videos than any others I watch. The level of detail you provide in terms of setup and going through the app and noting the settings that are important puts you far and above most of the other basic highlight style reviews. I was actually in a Best Buy today debating on whether I should get the Nest Mini or the Nest Audio to replace/add-to my existing 1st gen Mini. If they had had the Audio in charcoal I might have gone ahead and bought it. I took that lack of stock as a sign to do some more research so I came home and pulled up this video. About 2/3rds of the way through, I knew what I was going to do, so I put my coat back on and went back and bought the Mini (which they did have in charcoal). Then I came back and re-watched and followed along as you went through your setup. So, thank you for your level of detail. I know it must take a lot of work on your part. As much as I think the Audio would be much cooler, the Mini will do everything I need it to do, and I just don't stream music that much at home. Away from home, all the time. At home, not so much. I feel like that would be the prevailing reason for having an Audio. Who knows, though... I've never had smart speakers ready to play my Spotify playlists upon request. My needs may change. But, right now, the tech budget hands are saying that $30 feels better than $100 for the same basic functionality.
thank you soooo much for showing how much you can do on the mini nest. I am not very good at new tech devices and you made it so simple for us older folks to follow.
@@TechWithBrett You know...that was pretty cool to see! You made a Duo call to Canada, we had an on-the-fly conversation, and it went into the video seamlessly. So great!
Man I'm so behind. I'm subscribing and following for all the updates. I feel like I've missed out on all the key tech stuff. This was a great video I watched it ALLLLLL fascinated.
I love this channel, you actually learn something about using the Nest devices and overall automation in the Google ecosystem. Everything is so much simplified and there's zero subliminal marketing.
Hello, love your videos and it maybe that you have shown this before but my question is does Google home mini has any command like the eco when u sai "I'm leaving" it turn the lights on and off mimicking someone at home? Thank you 😊
Hi Brett. Let's say I have multiple nest hubs/minis throughout the house. If I were to start a phone call on one of them, would it be possible to continue the call on a different one in another room? Thanks and Happy New Year!
I am very happy with google assistant, I have several devices connected but I still haven't been able to do one thing; for example, how can I turn off a light at a given time or within a certain amount of time?
I just subscribed to you edit: tysm Tech with Brett, I have watched your video on a nest audio, I beat you in setting up the nest audio, I speed-ran you
Hmmmm. I've been informed incorrectly when I was informed it was Diisobutylphenoxyethoxyethyldimethylammoniumchloride. However, I found that in the encyclopedia not dictionary.
Thanks for the video. I saw one of your speakers is JBL Link under Video & Voice Apps, how did you add it there? I am not able to see it in Home App. Is it dependent on the country?
This video was absolutely excellent. I had watched a couple before that which did not help, I learnt so much and realised what I had not been doing to connect my Google mini nest correctly. Thank you so much..
Hey Tech with Brett, does the Mini Google Nest still be able to 2.4ghz or now only 5ghz? Also do you always have to tap the google nest for volume? I noticed you did that a lot in your video.
great video, thanks Brett! do you know if there's any way to pair a bluetooth speaker (not a smart speaker) with the nest mini? i'm trying to see if i can set up a surround-sound type environment in my room so that music plays from both.
Me: Sees* 30 mins long ass video, thinking "greaaat, probably just non sense jargon" Me: Also sees youtuber comment with TIMESTAMP GLOSSARY thingy! Me: Subscribes
I don't know which one to choose 3 or 2 can you help me Just like to know Is it have the same features Google Nest Mini (2nd? Gen like Google Nest Mini 3 please let me know please let me know
Hey! I realized the settings have changed recently & my Google Mini & Google Nest no longer let me find the option to change my caller ID settings. Do you have updated steps to show how to make this change now? I don’t want to come up as unlisted - as most people now turn off unknown callers.
Hahaha thank you for muting the "hey Google" keywords. I have been watching reviews and learning about what else it can do all over UA-cam, and other videos keep triggering my speaker hahaha.
Hi Brett when altering the volume you can say "hey google turn the volume down to 10%" and it should turn it down without touching it. This is in reference to your daughters room and when your hand comes close so the mini lights up. Just another option instead of looking for the mini in a dark room.
Tech with Brett, do you 6 have a video that gives suggestions on what to do with one's old Google mini? Give them away or is there something or a way to use them differently? I have one in every room in my house.
Hello, is there a way to make phone calls remotely to Google Nest so that the conversation is activated automatically without the interlocutor giving consent to receive the call? I would need this function as the elderly person who has to receive the phone call is unable to moves. thanks
I have buy a new one Nest Mini 2nd gen, but once i am do for setup can’t detect for the device, and device say “ please login from the google imap” how to do it?
I paired two speakers and bluetoothed to my TV.. the sound quality was ok but kept skipping. What's the best way to use Google Product for a good sound with my Samsung TV?
Sadly, Google has not made their speakers compatible with a TV sound system. The only device that has worked is the Google Home Max because it had a headphone jack, but it is not available anymore.
Hi Brett .. again great video. I have asked this question b4 ...May I know if I could use Chromecast to play youtube and thru nest mini to a bluetooth speaker. I have yourtube playing thru mini , but no voice from speaker. It plays fine when it is not thru chromecast
Great video explaining EVERYTHING about this Nest Mini. It just launched today in my country and I knew everything from this video alone, so thanks and done SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL! :D
Currently I use Alexa devices because the drop in feature is invaluable while caring for elderly family members. No action is required or their part for the call to go through. Does the google system have a similar feature?
I'm rarely on WiFi, LTE speeds are just as good or better (mostly better). Do I need to stay connected to WiFi or can my phone connect to Nest if it's on WiFi & I'm on LTE?
need help i used to be able to make calls with my nest mini with google duo but now its changed to google meets its not working and my phone is set up for calls what do i ask it now to make an audio call
Tried setting up my nest mini multiple times but it shows 'Could not connect to nest mini' error during the setup. I have tried online forums for solution but didn't manage to get any. Help, please? Back story - I bought the nest mini in Australia last year and it worked perfectly for that time. I recently moved back to India and haven't been successful in setting up my device. Google does have the product available in India, so why would it not support it?
HELP NEEDED. Hi All! We have 3 Home Mini's, which we've been using for over 2 years now. Since late June my Huawei P30 Pro lost all casting functionality and features to inact with the Mini, unless I use VLC (with no volume functions). Been trying to find answers online, but no luck. My wife's iPhone and brother's Samsung works perfectly. I think I just answered my own question 😳😭

Great video. Thank you. Excellent description and explanation.
I have always used my Google Voice number with the Google Mini. The Duo function is pretty cool.
Nice video and very informative. Just to confirmed, I had Home Mini now, so if I bought Nest mini, I can pair these two to make it stereo ?

What are the applications for iOS that support cast to nest mini
