Pair Your Google Home Mini to a Bluetooth Speaker

If you have a Google Home Mini you are most likely very happy with the product like me. But what if you could get it to pump out even better tunes? You now can by pairing it to any Bluetooth speaker that you might already have. This feature will work with all Google Home sizes.

Bluetooth Command List:
"Connect Bluetooth"
"Connect"

i noticed you are sensoring "Hey Google", which is very kind of you. Other youtube bloggers couldn't care doing this edit on their video.
thanks for the info.

I watched this video because it showed my exact speaker in the thumbnail and I just recently got 2 Minis. This is the pinnacle of curated content by companies like Google and Amazon. I love it. Great video, too. I love that you got right to the point and went step-by-step for those who needed it. Really well edited for the video and sound, too. I've never seen this channel before but I really liked that you took the time to answer questions or concerns people may have as you go along. That's the mark of a true tech support person right there. Knowing exactly what kind of questions and concerns people would ask even when they're not there to ask it.

Brett, This worked perfectly! I had contacted Taotronics, and they said it could not be done which seemed wrong. We connect the Taotronics Receiver to an FM Transmitter to play music throughout our home via an unused FM frequency. We had done this with the Amazon Dot units since they have an audio-out plug, and this now makes it possible using the Google Home Mini without attempting to install an adapter. It also works with a group of either Amazon or Google units, and the FM radio music seems to sinc without noticeable delays among the speakers. Thanks very much for giving us great directions and a new source of music!

Just picked up a Google mini yesterday. Your videos have been very helpful, Thanks.

Great tutorial! I also appreciate the effort in lowering the "okay/hey Google" volume to not set off people's Google Home devices.

Never mind my last two comments, I figured it out! In order to simultaneously cast the Harmon Kardon blue tooth with another google device speaker through a google home, you have to have the blue tooth speaker set as the default speaker on the google home or google mini you're using to create the group. I now have my Harmon Kardon Onyx Studio 1 in the living room playing simultaneously with my JBL link 10 in the kitchen all because I didn't set my HK as the default speaker on my google base unit. Phew. I hope this helps someone who is in the same boat.

"playing 1984" how ironic considering google home is an always listening mic inside your home 😂

Great videos very helpful thanks brett. Was wondering if there is a way to pair a bluetooth speaker from a mini but also have the sound come out of the mini (like stereo)

[crashdown]

This is a great hack for multiroom audio if you've already got stereos and speakers and such. Just get a little home mini for each of them

[marcoso]

excellent video, i wonder if exists a configuration that allow you to play music on the paired speaker but in the main google home mini also?

[everettedl]

Good demo. I paired mine with a JBL xTreme and it plays well, but volume controls don't work well for me. I can tell the speaker to turn the volume up or down, but it doesn't actually do it until the media stops and starts again. It's annoying to me, but if you can get past adjusting volume manually, it's a good experience.

This feature is not available now in 2019?

[mourmoney]

This good so I don't need a Chromecast audio to connect my sound bar

[bcheese]

Thanks for censoring the 'Hey Google' 😂

[rockfella]

This single video will make me buy Google home mini. So many generic videos out there about the Google mini and noone talked about this Bluetooth feature. Props and subbed. Cheers.

[scooner]

I don't have the device option tab on top right corner??

[FernandoCastro]

Hmmm now I can pair my JBL to enhace the sound, great! Thanks Brett!

[superstarca]

Thanks. Oddly I find adding a bluetooth speaker wasnt really as easy on this as it usually is. I really couldnt figure it out. I wish there was a way to play all speakers simultaneously

[jeepmikey]

Thanks a million. That was the clearest explanation I have gotten.

[WayneRigley]

thank you, been looking all night on how to make our mini louder with all the DIY Projects online, just about ready for bed and seen your video, will be connecting to our unused bluetooth speaker tomorrow ! no work needed now ! thank you you got a sub from this video
