Hello everyone. Thanks for tuning in again. What I'm going to show you today
is how to relink a Google Home or a Google Home Mini or
even a Google Assistant device to your Google account. So in the past if you've
unlinked the device, then this is what you want to watch. Alright now the first
relinking I'm going to show you is with a Google Home Mini that has no
accounts associated with it any longer. So as the sole owner or sole user of
this device, I've unlinked it for whatever reason, and now I want to go
ahead and relink that device, so I'm going to go into my Google Home
application, and what you have to make sure of here is that you're connected in
that account. So you have to tap up in that top left make sure this is the
right account or the right Google account that you want to have associated
with this device. Now because I didn't factory reset this device, it's still
connected to my Wi-Fi, so that means it's going to show up here with the
opportunity to link it, but if this card doesn't show up for you, it will show up
inside of the devices page. Inside the devices screen, you can see that I have
this little mini card here, and it's saying Sign In. That's another
opportunity, if that card didn't show up your mini should be showing up here and
you should be able to simply tap on it, and see the words "voice match" is now
available. So if you're seeing that this account is not connected to the device
and that's actually your way in to relinking that account, but we've seen way
up here, the sign-in opportunity, or the link account button, and that's actually
the simplest here. You simply tap link account, and now you're going through
where you're going to locate it, so this one's going to end up in my living room,
and I have to accept some of the information that Google is giving me, so
what we're going through is basically a shorter re-setup process or a shorter
setup process for this Google Home Mini, because it's not linked to
any other accounts right now. Now if my Google account didn't already have
voice match set up in it, that's what I'd be doing right now, but simply put, I'm
just hitting I agree and moving forward with the voice match process. So it's
associating my previous voice match with this Google Home Mini, basically
installing it on the device. Ready to go, so I have to tap I agree one more time,
and now I have to go ahead and enter in my address, and like I said this is a
short reset up process of this. Now I can go ahead and I can choose some different
options, so I can choose what device I want video to play back on, I have this
Lenovo Smart Display selected right now. I can choose the music playback, I can
change my address, I can rename it if I want to, and I can set up different
services and things, so it's now ready and we're simply finished setup at this
point. I'm here to help to learn a few things. You can do continue in the Google
Home app. So there you go, you get that kind of a prompt when the Google Home or
Google Home Mini is not set up with another Google account, you don't get
that when you're the second account being set up on a Google Home. Now there
are a few things that you should know about
once you've relinked a device like this. So back in my devices, you can see it's
called Living Room Speaker, and that's based on what I chose for the room at
the start of the setup process here. I can go into the settings, I can make
those changes through the name button here, and change it to whatever I want. I
can also go through and add it to different groups, you can see though that
it was re-added to groups, and I'll tell you it re-added it back into routines, even if there
were specific routines that were utilizing this speaker. So there you have
it everyone, I think that's a pretty good run-through for re-linking
a Google Home or a Google Home Mini, especially one
has been unlinked from every account. What I'll tell you from a re-linking
perspective, when there's already an account on there, it's a very simple and
even shorter process. There's no re-setting up the name of the speaker,
things like that, the services are already set up on there, so it's even a
simpler process, and it is really very similar. You just go into the devices
screen and you tap on that voice match button like I showed you here with my
Google Home. So there you have it everyone. Thanks for watching. We'll see
you next time.
