Control Your Tv - Google Home Mini Manual

will be discovered straight away. Follow the simple instructions to
set it up, which usually involves installing the latest update, and you
will now be all set to start enjoying your Google Home setup in a
whole new way. Google has honed the process over time to make
it as easy and reliable as possible, and it really is very impressive how
rarely problems occur for people when they first start using it.

Control your TV

You will have to give your Chromecast a name, and at this point it
effectively will be your TV as far as Google Home is concerned. You
will see the device listed in the Google Home app which means it
is ready to be controlled by voice alone. Depending on the exact
TV you own, the capabilities may differ, but it is surprising just
how much control over the hardware your Google Home device
will have. If, for example, you say 'OK Google, play the radio on
my living room TV' it will turn on and start playing a radio station
through the TV speakers. You can then turn the TV off with one
command and also use it for a variety of entertainment purposes
that are compatible with Google Home. From podcasts to news
to radio stations to your favourite music, your TV can be used as a
high quality Bluetooth speaker and can also be used for YouTube
via Google Home. Add to this the ability to cast content from your
phone or tablet through a multitude of apps and the TV could
quickly become a very important part of your connected home
system. It is surprising how many benefits can come from such a
small financial outlay, but it goes to show that buying a Google
Home device is merely the start of a journey that can help you to
enjoy digital content and devices in your home more than ever
before. It can seamlessly connect and integrate with other products
and with so much content available, the TV feels like an ideal
addition to the Google Home family. Your new smarter TV could
once again become the hub for family entertainment thanks to its
new abilities to playback all of the content that Google supports.
