Google Home can now play audio through other Bluetooth speakers in your home

The Google Home Mini is a great way to bring Google Assistant’s smarts into your home, the only problem is it’s not the greatest for listening to music. It’s not awful by any means, but chances are you already have a Bluetooth speaker in your home with far better audio quality.

With a new update headed to Google Home, you now have the ability to connect your Home devices to a Bluetooth speaker, pumping out music, audio books, or your favorite podcast. It’s actually quite great — we just don’t know why Google didn’t do this sooner.

The new functionality essentially allows you to re-purpose those old Bluetooth speakers into something with a little more smarts, giving you even more reason to stock up on Google Home Minis throughout your home. Google says you can even add a Bluetooth speaker to a group for multi-room audio.

To get started, simply open the Google Home app on your phone and go into your device settings to begin the pairing procedure.You can download the Google Home app via the Play Store link below.
