[@imnullandvoid1224]

I appreciate that you lower the volume each time you say "hey google" so you don't accidentally activate anyones google home mini's XD

[@ElegantJames]

It activated my Google Assistant on my cell phone when he said "Ok Google" lmao

[@amiah111]

Lol, ikr

Check with Brad I like him

[@devilshorses]

I’m Anna what’s up my friend’s well check ripper is my best friend I wonder if you can what

[@tvg2848]

You lowered the volume when you said "Hey Google" so it wouldn't trigger ours? How thoughtful!

[@zefuer5935]

I'm getting a Google home mini tommorow, I can't wait 😄

[@zefuer5935]

Well you’ve had it for a year now lmao

[@jumpmanjourneys]

lil leezy Alexa is the worst for controlling smart home. You need a hub to control stuff with it for everything unlike the home mini

[@minkibummie]

Who's here after getting a free one from spotify?

[@TechWithBrett]

Welcome to the club!

[@Nick-ln9zn]

[@brumrunner15]

Tech With Brett ,Wow, I am 58 y.o. and so amazed at technology and its advancements. some things we saw as kids on The Jetsons, and other futuristic shows. we may not need these things, but aren't we lucky to experience them. Yes, i will be getting one A.S.A.P., !

[@TryRickPayton]

Man I love this already my first smart speaker

[@thatraqs]

Thank you for lowering your volume every time you said "hey google" because my Google home mini reacted to all the other KZbin videos I watched and it drove me nuts. So thank you!!! Also, this was really helpful!!

[@MarilynDIAZDESIGNS]

That was so thoughtful that you lowered the volume when you said 'ok google' and 'hey google!!!' LOL. Thank you for not activating mine to react as I watch this.

[@rescuedbutton6755]

I respect to you! You just lower your voice when saying "Ok Google"

[@callmehizabella6385]

Thank you, now my dad can follow your tutorial of using the google home mini, I got the black version

[@nikki6424]

[@TechWithBrett]

Thanks you and I hope you love it!

[@erinwatermelon]

Brett I miss you

[@Maddym365]

Just ordered a google mini through Spotify’s promotion where I got it for free and now that I watched this I’m really really excited!

[@jimmyispromo]

Wow. I like it better than my Amazon Dot. Also happy you made "ok Google" saying quiet so it wouldn't activate other people's. Lol

[@marchellejordan347]

No I don’t have Spotify

[@marchellejordan347]

Nathalie Aquino no I don’t have Spotify

[@cgreen6369]

This is the first review I've read (and I've read many) that has sold me on this product! Why? Because you took us through the setup steps. Definitely buying this Black Friday. Thanks.

[@TechWithBrett]

Charles Green Glad it was able to help make the decision! Feel free to ask further questions you may have.

[@ChocolateApricots]

Thanks, Brett! Great tutorial. I haven’t unboxed yet. Wanted to figure out how to pair it with Spotify free version to give it a try. I’m new to this, so appreciate the information.

[@jadedifranco8203]

I’m literally getting mine in I think 3 or 4 days. I just watched this video to have a brief idea of what to do. When I actually get it I’m watching this video again! I love your channel and when I typed in on the search bar “How to setup a google home mini” yours was the first one on the list. Your channel is very informative and I love the way you don’t rush through things and speak at a nice paste so that people understand you better. I found your channel and decided to watch this video because of all the great comments you had. You must be a FABULOUS KZbinr!! You have just earned a new subscriber!♥️Keep up the GREAT WORK! 😁

[@saysbeza]

should've watched this before setting up mine!

[@shelbyjoines5233]

[@conniecoogonecrazy7246]

Same!

[@vickimainard6048]

Hey Brett thanks for taking the time to do this video. Just learnt some new things do with my home mini. I asked it where do babies from just for fun. It told me it was too young for that conversation. It's not only smart it is cheeky too. Just subscribed to your channel.

[@brittneylindquist6932]

The way he panned the camera down to make it "lift off" as the rocket sound played 😂

[@alx.t.castr0]

Thanks I wanted to know more about the Google home mini since I m getting one tomorrow...thank God I found this video 😄

[@lcvnts2212]

Hi

[@theofficialguumybearchanne7956]

I always hug the GOOGLE HOME MINI its so cute

[@austinlobato1619]

Thank god he lowered his voice when he said "OK Google" or else my phone assistant would have gone crazy lol

[@TryRickPayton]

I love it I have 2 one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom

[@PiersLortPhillips]

I usually have my phone nearby and it, too, has the Assistant installed. Will they fight over me or is there some sort of Google pecking order ? Nice vid, as always. Cheers

[@TechWithBrett]

Piers Lort-Phillips The Closest device should respond but for the most part of my phone hears me as well as the Google Home the Home will be the one to respond.

[@joshkelnhofer5454]

I just discovered you and really like your videos. Great lighting, video and audio. I only wish I had started doing the same a few years ago. Nice work, and you have a new subscriber.

[@TechWithBrett]

+Josh Kelnhofer Me as well but I will tell you it is never too late! Thank you!

[@Mitaka97]

Who is here bcs just ordered a free one from KZbin

[@thefariouswolfwolfie4898]

I really recommend this video because it helped me

[@TechWithBrett]

The Google Home Mini is finally here! It comes in 3 colors: Chalk, Charcoal or Coral. What else would you like to know?

[@jontait2843]

Tech With Brett have the charcoal one in my office. Love it. Sound quality not as good as the main GH we have in the living room,but impressive for its size. I can see myself getting a couple more minis.

[@TechWithBrett]

+Jon Tait One for every room! Certainly doesn't have as much base but it is very clear and affordable!

[@jontait2843]

The price makes it hard to see why you'd choose the full size GH. Either pair a mini to a Chromecast audio & speaker if you want affordable good quality music, or for the serious audiophile buy a max.

[@RazerStudios]

I am thinking about purchasing a Google Home mini. Can you connect your Ipad to it? Also can you connect any phone to it?

[@TechWithBrett]

+A.C Gamingz Yes it is available on iPhone and iPad. You can also connect to play music through supported casting apps or via Bluetooth.

[@jamesdalgleish9389]

Getting my home mini today for £24....can't argue with that.

[@dylan-samurai-9698]

Brett you're honestly awesome bro your videos are so helpful. Don't usually leave comments but gladly subbed ✅

[@KagLuvsInu]

Very informative. I still have a problem contacting my daughter's phone through my google home mini. I checked all the settings and everything seems to be set up correctly. What am I doing wrong?

[@jessicamylesrivera7440]

Hi, this is awesome! May i please ask if I can use my phone's personal hotspot for the wifi connection, and use the same phone to set up, use chromecast, etc? Or do I have to have a separate device?

[@Grufian1]

The only thing missing with your superb How To videos is a cumulative auto-updated index so that your readers won't keep thinking to themselves: "i'm pretty certain that Brett had a video about --- but where is it?"

[@TechWithBrett]

Head to the new www.techwithbrett.com and do a search and see if you can find it there.

[@Thaqueentnb]

Just got mine as Christmas gift from bae! Thanks for the help!

[@TechWithBrett]

+Amber Huston That is awesome! Merry Christmas!

[@Thaqueentnb]

Merry Christmas! Hey do you have any advice for Wi-Fi connection that requires a password

Interesting. I am getting it free from buying the NEST thermostat. I am stoked to try it out.

[@UrmomHAHABA]

Hey Bretty Boy, thnx for the tutorial, rly helped dude. I liked your vid too! Now my google home mini is all set up!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I just got this today for my birthday! It sounds louder than the big google home devise!

[@TechWithBrett]

Have fun with it!

[@dylanhoquet9492]

You activated my google home when you said “ok google”

[@daino09]

What!

[@KirkandRA]

Great video. I play music from Spotify to my Google chromecast audio connected to my Bose system

[@jimmyispromo]

I'm watching my shows.... Haha!!!

[@adeshinaashogbon2171]

Awesome

[@joecool1758]

Watching a show over a audio device? Hmm...that’s a new one...now IF it emitted a projection beam or holographic display....then perhaps.....🙄

[@evan2729]

I’m getting mine for Christmas.. it’s the charcoal color I’m very excited

[@TKBay]

Great Video Bro

[@Olokunful]

I got mine as part of the Tasty 30pc Cookware set. Now about getting wifi...

[@jhentravellife]

Here just because I got a free one from spotify.

[@M-BKK]

Be careful with this smooth and straightforward presentation, some features are only available in certain countries and others depends whether you have chargeable subscriptions and accounts.

[@lisasutherland3381]

You just activated my Google home mini

[@macyseddon1654]

Bought one for £33 today from ee shop in January sales - in loveee😙

[@TannerPerry]

I just bought mine and I’m amazed on what its capable of doing, but I want to be able to say “Hey Google, Play (Song)” but she keeps saying “You need Google Play Music and I do have that and its connected and still wont work! Anythimg I can do?

[@TechWithBrett]

+Tanner Perry Are you paying for Google Play Music? You are only able to play specific songs if you have a subscription. You can get a free trial I think if you go into Google Play Music and sign up.

[@TannerPerry]

Tech With Brett Ok thanks for clearing me on this! I got it to work Thank you! 👻New Subscriber!👻

[@TechWithBrett]

+Tanner Perry Good to hear and Thank you!

[@DerangedSloth555]

You look like Jazza from Draw with Jazza

[@TechWithBrett]

I'll have to check out his channel!

[@LincNebr1]

Hey Brett, your voice must sound close to mine, because as you would say "Hey Google" mine would start listening. When you told yours to reduce the volume, mine did! And so the fun begins! :)

[@alexac1960]

I'm buying the chalk version

[@siennawheelhouse7053]

urgent comment , I set my Spotify up and linked it but when i say " hey google play my playlist fire" it says i need to give more info...please help me

[@siennawheelhouse7053]

please help me

[@TechWithBrett]

Add "from Spotify" at the end and see if it works. Let me see if I can find more info on Playlists.

[@geolino149]

Does the google home mini work with any bluetooth speaker or only with chromecast (built in) speakers?

[@cameronharriott3278]

Geolino no

[@jaydenthompson1747]

only chromecast

[@ItsaCozmoLife]

It works with a Bluetooth speaker and a chrome cast. Here’s how to pair it with a Bluetooth speaker: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn7PpJJ4ebGtfbM

hey Brett - have you tried broadcasting a message yet? I am wondering if it records your voice and plays it or does it just repeat what you said... Thx!

[@AlexHadfield]

Yeah I'd like to learn about broadcast too!

[@TechWithBrett]

+Diego That is a great question. The Broadcast feature is not available yet ☹️.

Thank you so much for this video because I just got a google home mini and idk what I was doing

[@nieznanyx]

in all honesty..if you're young and not old (ie more than 70 with age related dementia setting in) .. if you dont know what youre doing each day or cant recall it and need a device to do it for you .. you've got trouble

[@Kasino80]

It's just a virtual planner. It's no different than having a planner in your bag.

[@weezie19531]

Brett can you set it up also to lock your homes doors and set house alarm? Will it tell you when a window or door is opened? Thank you. I'm gonna go get 2-3 of them tomorrow. So if I have one in kitchen and one in bedroom can I put one in the garage too? How will it know or will it interfere with some else listening to a book or music?? If I want to ask a question??

[@darkcapri4161]

Mine didn’t activate thank you for not taking really loud when saying hey google

[@holly3586]

I got one yesterday off my uncle so exited to use it

[@davidspl]

Can't I have multiple Google mini in the same house.

[@TechWithBrett]

+David Rodriguez Yes you can you multiple Minis without having a big Google Home.

[@davidspl]

Tech With Brett Thanks for the input.

[@davidspl]

Tech With Brett I am having problems with my Google mini to stream Netflix on my Chromecast on my t.v.

A farewell to privacy.

[@cyrillian13]

Its simple. Your phone. any mics on your computer. Any mics connected in your home have been listening for a while now. Privacy was gone a while ago.

What is the differences in the Mini Home Google and the bigger size Home Google?

Thanks, I see you have Pandora for the radio, but do you still have to pay for the monthly services after the free trial?

Great video on the Google Home Mini. Thank you very much.

[@MAUS98]

Can't wait untill the Google Home comes to my country (The Netherlands) It's not for sale here so i just bought one from Germany. It won't speak my language but it will speak German or English until Google releases Google Home to my country.

[@jamarinyc]

isn't dutch basically german mixed w/ english? lol

[@MAUS98]

jamari ! We use some English and German words but the Dutch language has A LOT of words that are different. Dutch is FAR MORE DIFFICULT then English or German. I've received my Google Home Mini yesterday and I'm currently using it in English. But when I turned it on for the first time it spoke German because I bought it in Germany. This thing is great. But it can't tell me the news from my country. So it gives me news from BBC NEWS.

[@JoshelynV12]

A few questions: 1. Does the Google Home mini need to have the cable on or can it work without it? 2. How can I check the battery life of a google home mini? 3. How do I turn off the google home mini? I so new to the google home mini and tried to find answers but none of the documentation where concrete in my opinion

[@rtan73]

Thank you for going through the setup. Helps in figuring out capabilities and limitations of the mini. Very comprehensive, thanks again. Will be picking up mine tomorrow in part due to this video and also black friday pricing. ($30 with a $10 gift card at best buy)

[@TechWithBrett]

+Raymond Tan Glad it was helpful! I picked up another yesterday with the same offer.

[@wiredawg2005]

Hello, great in-depth review on the how to's...but, the function no one mentions...can I attach an NAS device, in my case, a WD "My Cloud"?

[@TechWithBrett]

No. If your phone can access that info you could Bluetooth your phone to the Mini and then play music on the phone from the cloud to the speaker.

[@kylievandeburgt6249]

It looks so cool
