Voice Match and media on Google Home
Why you should use Voice Match
Google Home is a shared device and is commonly used by all household
members. When each person in the household uses Voice Match, they’ll
enjoy a more customized media experience, making the overall media
experience even better.
When everyone uses Voice Match on a shared device, each person:
- Can choose their own default music services
- Gets a personalized music experience
- This is based on their past interaction with the music service (Listening history, songs they liked, etc.)
- Controls their own private library for the music service,
- Can access their own saved playlists, songs, etc. Also,
liking or saving music will save it to their personal library for that
music service.
- Avoids reaching the single stream limitation which is common across music services.
- Instead of everyone at home sharing the same Google Account,
each member can now use their personal account and avoid interrupting
music playback on other linked accounts.
- Can ask to play recommended YouTube Videos or some TV show or movies from a linked streaming service.
- This provides a more personalized experience by continuing playback from your last saved spot.
How to set up Voice Match
Each person can link one of their Google Accounts to Google Home. If
you have a personal Google Account and a work Google Account, you must
choose which account you want to hear personal information for.
Note: Everyone who wants to hear personal info on Google Home must follow these steps, even the person who set up Google Home.
