If you have multiple Google Nest speakers in your home, it’s possible to broadcast a message to all of them simultaneously. This is a great way to let the whole family know that dinner is ready without having to yell upstairs, downstairs, or in your garage. Instead, you can use a simple voice command to send notifications to your entire Google Nest ecosystem.
If you’ve never used the feature before, or just need a reminder of how it works, here’s how to broadcast voice messages with Google Home and Google Assistant.
How to broadcast voice messages using Google Nest
There are two ways to broadcast messages to your Nest devices: using the speaker or over the phone. Both follow the same basic instructions, although the requirements vary by method.
For example, if you want to use your smartphone to broadcast a message to your connected Google Nest speakers, you’ll need the Google Assistant on your phone and at least one connected Nest speaker or display.
If you want to broadcast a message while talking to a smart speaker, you’ll need to make sure that the other speakers you want to broadcast to are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that a household member is signed in to each one. Whichever method you use, make sure all speakers have the latest firmware.
With that out of the way, here’s how to quickly broadcast a message using Google Nest:
Step 1: To create a custom message, say “Hey Google, spread the word.” [message].” This will send a broadcast to all Nest devices on your network.
Step 2 – If you want to send a message to a specific room, say “Hey Google, broadcast to [room name + message].”
Step 3 – A similar command works to cast to a specific device: “Hey Google, cast to [device name + message].”
Step 4: Several default messages are also available to you. After saying “Hey Google, broadcast…”, you can run the following commands:
- wake up everyone
- it’s breakfast time
- It’s lunch time
- It’s dinner time
- it’s time to leave home
- am at home
- Let’s go to the cinema
- we should go to bed
- The show is about to start.
Step 5: After posting your broadcast, people can reply by saying “Hey Google, reply [message].”
