Can you pair this with a bluetooth speaker? If so how? null

If you are asking if this can output its sound to another bluetooth speaker, the answer is NO. At least not now. FYI, Google Home Mini couldn't do this at release either. 6 months later the function was enabled with firmware update. So I think it's possible but not now.

Unfortunately, you can't. That is the main reason I wanted this, to create a whole house listening experience. However, unlike the Google units, the Insignia will not allow the option to have the default speaker a bluetooth one. Also, when you use several google devices together with the google hub casting to a bluetooth quality sound in one room and this playing in the other, they do not sync. Google home provides a sync adjustment, but it is not enough to fix it. Furthermore, google home hub will play songs from youtube audio, but the insignia will not. When you play a song on GHH on youtube and try to cast it to play both the GHH and Insignia, the both units will not play anything. The more I use it, the less useful it is. It is a device that the main purpose is to sell additional monthly services or expensive controls for home devices that don't need it, like lights. X10 worked for that at 1/10 the price. It cannot even play local music on phone, computer or network storage (unless you are using it as a simple bluetooth device). The ONLY way to play local music is with Google Play paid subscription and upload your songs. The entire concept is a gimmick.

Yes, go into the Google Home app and choose this device. Go to the gear icon for settings and scroll down to "Default music speaker". The very first option is to pair to another Bluetooth speaker. Once paired it will now try to always be paired with the speaker you set and it will NOT use its own built-in speaker.

Yes, enable Bluetooth on the device that you wish to use and use the settings on this product to pair.

Yes you can pair. 1. Open settings and enable Bluetooth on your phone / device you want to pair with speaker 2. Once you tap on the flat surface on speaker, you can see volume plus and minus buttons. 3. Hold both plus and minus buttons for 4 seconds, your phone will show this speaker to pair. Just pair your device.
