You can usually place the speaker on the final table near the bed where you usually watch TV, for example, if you want to hear the dialogue better without cranking the volume. Or, you can also pipe your TV’s audio Dio to speakers in another room, such as the kitchen or bathroom, so you don’t miss anything when you have to get up.
Here’s all you need to know to connect Google Home with your TV, including how to spell two or more speakers for the ultimate stereo experience.

Connect to your TV via Bluetooth
If your TV has Bluetooth (and most smart TVs do these days), you should have no problem connecting it to a home speaker. First, navigate Bluetooth settings In Settings menu On your TV. From there, tell your Google Home, “Hey, Google, pair Bluetooth” To put your speaker in paired mode and select the Google Home device you want to connect to.

If you have two speakers of the same type – say, two Google Home minis (ખરીદી 40 on best purchase) Or two nest minis ($ 49 at Crouchfield) (But not one of them) – Heard you can listen to TV audio Dio: in stereo. To do that, you first need to create a stereo pair in the Google Home app by assigning one speaker to the left audio Dio channel and a separate speaker to the right.
.. Open Google Home app Tap on your phone or tablet and one of the two Speaker icons You want to pair.
2. Tap Settings icon (gear symbol) In the upper-right corner.
3. Scroll down Device settings And tap Speaker pair.
4 Choose another Device icon For your speaker pair and tape Next.
5. The first device you select will start flashing – in the application, select whether the flashing device should be used as OK Or Left channel (It doesn’t matter) and tap Next. The second speaker will automatically become the opposite channel you selected.
6. Name your new pair something (like “Google Home Speaker Pair“) And tap Next.
7. Choose which Home And Room Speakers are related, for example “Home” may be the name of your home and “Living Room” may be the room where you are placing the speakers.
The pair will now appear as a single speaker on your Google Home app and on other Bluetooth devices, so watch the pair when you connect your TV in detail below. Also note that only the left speaker will hear the “Hey, Google” or “OK, Google” commands, as the right speaker’s microphone will be muted.
If you have Google Home or a set of Google Nest smart speakers, consider building a whole-home audio dio system.
