This video was helpful. I just started to try to use assistant today, but only more as when I was driving. It is nice to be on the move and have it ready to show a route, compared when needing to find a place to stop and type in the route

Thanks for the vid... The Google assistant trick I would like is for it to remember what podcasts I was listening to, like it used to.. I don't know what happened

Great video. We are getting a google mini for Christmas but also have a smart android tv. The tv and google mini will probably be in the same room. We already command the tv with "hey Google" phrases today. Will the devices get confused if both are in the same room. Is there a way to label them differently so we can still verbally send commands to the the tv and the google mini. Thanks

Is there a way to have Google assistant read reminders aloud when they "go off", not just pop up as a notification?

[Swissalchemist]

Were you speeding up or skipping frames after you asked a question? Thinking about switching from my phone and I saw some videos that made Google Assistant looks slow on the pixel 8 Pro

I'm wondering if I can manage two different calendars using the Google assistant?

You are so professional. You went to the point, and not so long video. Thank you for that!

This is super helpful! Can you send your Google Assistant notification to your contacts? For instance, I'd like to let my family know that I'm on my way to somewhere, i.e. "56 mins to work" or something like that

Hello,
I have a projector with the Chromecast witha Google TV connected to it and all this is connected to Google Home Max speaker. Please do you have by any chance a solution for any of the following problems?

1) What I don't like is that sometimes even if the Google Home Max is at 100%, the movie sound is still quite low and I have to use the chromecast remote and turn the volume up even more on the chromecast itself. It is good that it is at least an option but handling two volumes all the time is quite annoying.

2) When I do the above mentioned and turn the volume up for the movie, later when I ask assistant to turn off the projector, it screams like crazy when responding, as the volume is too high at that moment of course.

3) Also is there any chance to turn off the Assistant's repetition of my commands all the time?

4) Sometimes speakers change their volume randomly. Even when I set routines to reset the speakers' volume, it still does whatever it wants. E.g. I set the routine to start by turning the speaker to 0 and then go to 100%. It end up 100% but then all of a sudden it goes to like 58%...

Do you know of any solutions for those or at least some of those? I know the group volume control is now an issue due to the fight with SONOS...but any workarounds? Recently the Google stuff is piece of s..t. Thank you very much for any recommendations.

Thank you! Can I stop my Google Nest Hub from repeating what I ask? In other words, when I say: "hey Google, turn off the bedroom light, " I just really it to do the command and not say: "turning off the bedroom light." It actually happens on my Google Nest Hub Max but my smaller hub repeats everything I ask back. Thanks for your help!

Please can you let me know how to set my Google assistant, so that I can use my phone to issue instructions (not using the touch pad!) to my various Smarthome devices. I have set up my garage door Smartswitch and need to use my phone outside to open the garage door as I approach using my phone. Thanks

Hove you ever heard of the app EVA or AVX? I still have my original purchase which has since been removed from the play store. Trying to find an app with similar functionality but nothing comes close.

[SonicFanaticEthan]

I will try timers on some of my devices and music and more as you mentioned in the video.

Hello Brian. You help me before.
Thanks you very much.
My mother-in-law is in senior home. There is Chromecast for goggle tv. Its on my account but on different network. She had a stroke. She can only turn it on and off. I was able to use Google assistant to play only YouTube videos from my phone remotely. After many updates not working anymore. Is there any other way maybe using some apps or maybe Amazon devices or Alexa or any other apps or devices. I need only YouTube. Thanks, Vasil.

Ok.. The routine icon on the Home screen is epic!

Hello, I am paralyzed and have no use of hands, so my google mini comes in quite handy. One thing I like to do is watch videos on youtube. I was to be able to see a list of 20 related or similar videos I could choose from - only for it to disappear. Now I tell google what video I want to watch and google says 'OK' and gives me the option to pick from one of the 20 related or similar videos that no longer appear across the bottom of my TV. Can you help me find a way see and choose from the list?
