welcome to google home to get started download the google home app on a phone or tablet
so
might be hard to see but those are actually blue now not white
they give you lots of choices where you can have it as well as a custom
so they have family room but they don't have other living room
it's going to ask you what you want to connect it to that's the one i use for all my iot devices
and i'll say use this for future so if you get more google homes or any other thing that google
offers right there so i'm going to say yes and now it's connecting google home mini to uh hal 9000
the lights are now white and kind of pulsating a little bit it might be a little difficult to
see on camera i realize but i'm keeping the phone kind of shadowed over it to try and help with that
all right so here it's asking you to set up the google assistant which you kind of need
in order to get the google home to work so pretty much each of these is kind of
like a little tos that you're going to have to look through and if you disagree with one well
guess what your home mini is not going to work but
you kind of know what you're getting into when you get something like this and if you don't
that's what it is you have to kind of grant it a lot of permissions so we're just going to hit next
okay so i'm hiding my account email for this but what it's saying is if you want to use the trigger
phrase in order to activate the mini you have to agree to the voice and audio activity which
pretty much means it records you when you submit something so it's just like hey if you say search
for this it's going to have a recording of it and send it up to the google servers to diagnose
so again this is something you're going to have to say yes to in order to use this device
all right so this is uh another screen saying that it's going to try and use
your voice and only your voice to activate your information you have multiple accounts on this
and based on your voice print it will be able to tell my calendar for my wife's calendar
so you either say yes i'm in or skip for now so we're gonna say yes i'm in
it's super loud on setup
okay google
hey google okay google hey google
so there it's getting a voice print for me
which will be interesting because i'm kind of sick so we'll see how
well this works once i can actually breathe
so if the voice print is when i'm sick hopefully i can either go back and check it or i can
redo it at some point oh look at that okay so it can change this in the shared uh area so google
controls and i can retain this voice model and then next all right so off camera it's asking
for my address so that it can better assist it with traffic and it was pretty spot on based on
my phone but i'm just going to confirm that off site you know so still setting up but it's off
camera at the moment and then i can stay in the know there by signing up
for a newsletter for the home stuff which at the bottom there did kind of show my email
i'm going to sign up for it now so i can get tips and stuff i do that with the amazon devices as
well just to double check and here you can link your music services so i'm just going to skip
that for the time being because the only one i have is pandora so we're just going to skip
and it's trying to get you to sign up for youtube music you've got your almost done
screen here you're almost done screen here which i'm keeping the majority of it off camera because
it's showing my address as well as the device location and some other things
there is a lower right hand corner button that says continue which i'm going to do
and now it's telling me that the speaker is now all set so hit continue hi i'm your
google assistant i'm here to help to learn a few things you can do continue in the google home app
okay so like i said that was super loud all right going back to the application uh
just getting started it will allow you to you know play music get answers get stuff done so
kind of all the stuff you'd expect from a home assistant so i'm just going to hit finish there
and there we go google home
you
