If someone else requests music and they have Voice Match enabled and they've linked their own Spotify account, Google Home will play from their account, but only if all those conditions are met.īut what about people who don't have a Voice Match profile, or who didn't connect their own streaming services? In those cases, Google Home defaults to the accounts belonging to the first person to set up Voice Match. Let's say you have Voice Match enabled and, because you listen to a lot of music with your smart speaker, you've linked your Spotify account as well. If you share accounts for Spotify, Netflix and so on, anyone who uses your Google Home can also use that account on the speaker.
This may not be the least wonky workaround you've ever heard of, but at least it's effective. It worked! Now, if I ask, "Hey, Google, who am I?" in my regular voice it says, "You're Dale." If I ask in a falsetto, it says "You're Hypo" (my invented name for my other account). Since my main account already had Voice Match set up with my actual voice, I set up my second one using a falsetto. To test this out, I used one of my Google accounts not associated with Google Home to add a household member and set up Voice Match. If that's the case, and Google Home can't tell two people apart, there's one clear way to differentiate them: adopt a "smart speaker" voice that you use only when speaking to Google Home. Many times, family members sound uncannily alike - siblings, especially. If two people in your household sound a lot alike, one may have to develop an alternate "smart speaker voice" to get Voice Match to work. I suggest modulating your tone and your distance from the speaker to help the software understand the range of your unique voice. The solution here is to unpair yourself using the app and set up Voice Match fresh.
However, if it's noisy when you first set it up, or you breeze through the process in an effort to get it over with, you may wind up in future situations where your Google Home doesn't recognize you as precisely as it could. The Google Home app asks you to say a few different phrases, then analyzes your voice to create a kind of sonic fingerprint. If you botch this step, nothing else will work right. Start by training Google Home rightīefore you can enable Voice Match, you have to teach Google Home your voice (instructions at the end of this article). If you use or want to use Voice Match on your Google Home, here's what you need to do to make the experience perfect for everyone.
