You can connect to multiple Bluetooth speakers as well from any Google Home device which means that you can connect up a multi-room setup with music playing throughout the house, in different rooms at the same time &#8211; or just get that stereo\/surround sound audio.<\/p>\n<p>Of course the Bluetooth speakers are just a speaker in the setup and won&#8217;t be magically transformed to take commands, everything will still have to be controlled through a Google Home device. You can make a Bluetooth speaker your default device for audio so that Home connects straight up to it without you having to ask it when you want to play music or listen to a good book.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To get started, pair any compatible Bluetooth speaker with your Google Home: Open the Google Home app, head to device settings and follow the pairing instructions to make it your default speaker. Then give it a whirl. Say &#8220;Hey Google, shuffle my workout playlist&#8221; or &#8220;Hey Google, turn up the volume&#8221;. The music will automatically play on your Bluetooth speaker &#8211; without you having to tell Google the name of the device.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whilst speakers are all going Wi-Fi connected Google&#8217;s smart Home speakers are giving you a new reason to dust of your Bluetooth speakers.
