Q: QuestionWe have a Google Home upstairs, can I use the Home mini downstairs to speak to my husband upstairs?

Asked 4 years ago by Peanut.

• A:Answer Yes you can! Just by saying “Hey Google, broadcast (followed by the message you want him to hear)”. you will then hear google say “broadcasting now”, and your husband will be able to hear that message. If you receive an error message when you ask Google to perform this command, go to the Google Home app and make sure in settings that broadcast options are turned on. For more information check out googles support site for the Gooogle Home devices.

Q: QuestionHi if I want more volume on my computer, can I use the speaker to amplify sound while I am on a zoom call?

Asked 4 years ago by speakersforzoom.

• A:Answer No, it can only stream audio through mainstream Music/TV apps, or broadcast your voice from your phone. Buy better speakers for your computer or use a headset.

Q: QuestionRecently moved & now the home Mini speaker doesn't work. How do I get it to work again.

Asked 4 years ago by Luci.

• A:Answer Hi Luci, we had the same problem when we moved and the best way to get it to work for us was to delete the old account and reset up the mini. It gets very confused and the technology isn’t syncing besides that if you had GeekSquad do your initial install and it’s within the warranty period they will sometimes come back out to help! Good Luck
