How to Use Google Home Mini Speaker?

Just connected your device and wondering what to do next? This guide covers everything you need to know about how to use the Google Home Mini speaker — from voice commands and music playback to smart home controls and more.

 Basic Functions of the Google Home Mini

The Google Home Mini is powered by the Google Assistant. You can interact with it by saying “Hey Google” followed by a command. Here are some common uses:

• Check the weather: “Hey Google, what’s the weather today?”
• Set alarms and timers: “Hey Google, set an alarm for 7 AM.”
• Play music: “Hey Google, play relaxing jazz.”
• Ask questions: “Hey Google, how tall is the Eiffel Tower?”

 Streaming Music and Audio

The Google Home Mini supports several music services like Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music. Once linked via the Google Home app, you can stream music with voice commands or Bluetooth.

To use Bluetooth, say: “Hey Google, Bluetooth pairing,” then connect via your phone’s Bluetooth settings.

 Controlling Smart Home Devices

You can control compatible devices such as lights, thermostats, and plugs using your voice. Just say:

• “Hey Google, turn off the living room lights.”
• “Hey Google, set the thermostat to 22 degrees.”

Setup for smart home devices is done through the Google Home app.

 Making Hands-Free Calls

In supported regions, you can use your Mini to make voice calls. Just say, “Hey Google, call Mom.” Contacts must be synced via the app, and calling features may depend on your country or carrier.

 Personal Routines and Reminders

Create routines that automate tasks. For example, “Good Morning” can trigger a weather report, turn on lights, and play news updates. You can also set reminders and calendar events easily.

 Fun and Entertainment

Ask your Google Home Mini to tell jokes, play trivia games, or make animal sounds — great for kids and adults alike.
