Tips and tricks to get the most out of your Google Home

[@mifikdays2040]

This guy has everything like lol smart TV, Smart blindes, Smart fridge

[@alex_MCMXCV]

he's smart himself

[@doggogamer1930]

Smart bed

[@ForTheNerds]

"Google Someone's Breaking In!" Plays I'm A Barbie Girl full blast Turns all the lights to strobe Turns tv on to Courage The Cowardly Dog Buys everything in shopping cart Burglar and I are confused and screaming and now friends best friends through terrifyingly confusing bonding experience

[@Mona001-01g]

Modern home-alone:))

[@phxnetworkjunkie4596]

Sounds about right!

[@weavecity]

I don't like leaving negative comments, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine. Seriously though, how do small independent tech channels find the time to mute wake words in their videos but CNET with a team of editors can't? It's not my job to make your videos watchable. Skip.

[@speedracer9132]

I came to say the exact same thing, talk about the epitome of laziness

[@janeleekeller]

J W ; 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@philipkunnath2019]

or u could just take 2 seconds of ur time instead of taking 15 minutes of theirs

[@aidank2004]

"Okay Google, it's workout time!" I'm sorry, I don't understand "Workout Time" "Me either" *sobs*

[@noahlino97]

That fridge is a big time flex 👌🏾 Great video!

[@vidpetrovic8907]

My phone while watching this video: Sorry, I'm not sure if you were talking to me...

[@jacksonfoudray8216]

The workout bit was very funny haha. Overall helpful video. Thanks!

[@theroachmotel]

So CNET is too lazy to mute the keywords in post so they tell people to mute their devices beforehand? OK thanks...

[@speedracer9132]

Yeah, they don’t deserve the view if they’re this lazy

[@tfharper]

Its actually simple to fix. These devices all have a frequency that if its missing, the device won't respond to its wake words. That's how they have commercials where they say 'siri', 'alexa' and 'ok google'. The ad removes the one tiny frequency band (inaudible to people) and then the device won't respond if it doesn't see that. About 5 minutes in an audio processor app.

[@theroachmotel]

@@tfharper goes to show you just how lazy CNET is

[@NickMageloff]

Yeah what a bunch a wasted time! Don't they realize that I've got 14 Google homes and smart home devices what dumbasses.... thanks for the warning I'll just run around the whole house and shut everything down so that I can watch their stupid video!!

[@toepac6375]

Alexa been real quiet since this dropped

[@littlemisskate4254]

Hey, thanks for the great video. I’m just trying to see if my Google Home can instead of just saying you have a reminder, but actually tell me what my reminder eg time to take your meds.

[@Tamaresque]

LOL, my Google Home Mini was responding to Chris's voice but not yours, probably because his is pitched higher, and I'm a woman. I'm glad though, that she said she couldn't ID my voice and I'd need to go to Assistant to complete that request. The Find My Phone is the best!

[@Mona001-01g]

1:50, I wish google home even did the push-ups for me while i reaped the benefits, lol😁

[@DaneWashingtonddtke]

let me just say you to were so funny together and I learn so much

[@davedejager7094]

Great video!! 🤣 🤣 Love the bits of comedy!

[@EpicBenjo]

What kind of automatic blinds are those?

[@Dsisko]

Funny and informative Content ! Well done

[@Californiansurfer]

Google collects your behavior and what you do. More data collection for Google. Thanks CNET

[@stephenpowstinger733]

Thanks. I’ve had Google Home device, Samsung phone and tablets and now I can find them . Even if Tab A was taking a nap for five minutes. Next I’ll see if the Samsung TV can turn on in morning. How does it know what time though?

[@Tamaresque]

Use the Waking Up Routine. You can write that into it.

[@WinstonWilliamsofficial]

I like this guy Cnet... lol

[@Hammarsand]

0:18 or you can just mute it inn the video like everybody else!

[@kellyharvey8234]

I am getting a Google miñi any day now, thanks. You are funny.

[@donaldjohnson4634]

Half push up😅 .Nice video but I think I need a smart house 👍

[@Joeythe1st]

You look like the nerdy guy that cici dated on The New Girl. 👍

[@Rupee_Craver]

Smart Blinds!? Got cop some

[@jerritanner275]

Google needs to let me play TV audio on my Nest speakers / pairs / groups.

[@MrTrainREX]

Either I am way too high, or CNET is funny?

[@Rupee_Craver]

Nice Tips!

[@MinecraftWithStyleHD]

I literally hate watching these videos because they never mute "Hey Google"

[@daubipiccoli]

Whaaat?🤔

[@janeleekeller]

@Amusis ; Big Deal ‼️ Try to excuse Him - as YOU, are Obviously PERFECT 😝 !

[@GrowOZ]

grab some headphones

[@streamingjunkie4397]

You are overselling the TV bit. Keep the remote near by because you will need it.

[@roroyvonblommaert9243]

Thank you for the tips! 🙌🏾

[@roroyvonblommaert9243]

Also. very majestic. 😂🙌🏾

[@Kittymay407]

Hey! My google hub display is in negative colours? Not sure why, please help

[@giannismourat]

I cant find the routine option in the google home...

[@FreedomAtRisk]

The 90s called, they want their haircut back

[@jaylakassaby5277]

1:07 show me the money 🤣🤣🤣

[@omegalink4]

What's the music playing at the start of the video?

[@lessthanahome]

Hey CNet, how bout you C these Nuts

[@josemanuellastra2488]

Google Assistant lacks functionality, it gives very short-spoken responces whenever you ask her any consult, the user ends up talking more than the Assistant with that 8 letters / 2 words phrase, Ok Google, and it’s very slow to respond

[@juangutierrez3817]

Is he the IT guy from the office?

[@mohmedaminpatel4427]

FINALLLLLY SOMEONE SAIIIIIID IT.

[@Life_Is_A...]

"Hey Google, plat the movie 'Her'."

[@thebigdoghimself]

There you go Cnet. A little bit of fun, a little bit of personality, an informative and entertaining video.

[@hanjaeyoon906]

my google home doesn't have the routine option..

[@0194D]

How do i get it to make Google stop tracking my information?

[@tfharper]

Unplug it.

[@vinceofyork]

There's a setting for that.

[@Susan.Lewis.]

To find your phone, why wouldn't you just have the Google Nest Hub phone yourself?

[@WaynesTW]

Because you can have your phone on silent or vibrate and then calling yourself won't accomplish anything.

[@Mona001-01g]

Let's just pray nobody hacks into one of these smart homes. Else the home is all theirs:))

[@moditb3247]

He looks and sounds just like rogersbase.

[@AdamPreset]

Don’t fear the reaper.

[@tuvakaasa3833]

thx hat you did not say the call name

[@mistet7938]

I was disappointed too. Not muting key words really hurt your video. An expectation has beed set.

[@raonnycanabarrocosta7881]

He catch me in the workout moment lol

[@DrAshishPradhan]

Nope. I am absolutely fine without it.

[@Tamaresque]

Google should be able to tell you that! 😂

[@bunyodbekibadullaev5827]

Madness

[@darkvader125]

Bixby routines are a lot better than google

[@mr.z541]

ffs - i already know how to do pushups! next!

[@ryanocampo5607]

star trek

[@iamdenislara]

Is that his house?.... how much does he make?

[@tfharper]

I got more out of my Home by unplugging it and deciding any always on cam or microphone in my house wasn't going to be happening around here. Too much data collection and too many hacks. No thanks.

[@Tamaresque]

I just turn the mike off until I'm ready to use it. Simple.

[@ljayh1]

Hey google cnet sucks ....... mute that

[@RichGPlay]

Spanish version

[@BernardoAntunes]

Instead of asking everyone to mute their own Google Homes, you should fix it in post. Going to remove this lazy channel from my recommendations.

[@dylanrobinson3832]

first

[@jsharp3165]

I’m sure there’s some information in here but I couldn’t get past the extremely lame comedy.

[@NadrianATRS]

He needs a new hairstyle

[@robbajko1533]

This video was creepy
