Yes. If your son’s Google account is under 18 (Family Link), there are restrictions. Child accounts can’t be added as full Home members unless managed through Family Link.

Hi @medinacelidiego,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Nest Community. I understand you’re looking to add a family member to your Google Home and need to know how to send them an invitation. I'd be happy to help you with that.

I appreciate your response @bayiavm.

Please follow these troubleshooting steps:

Open the Google Home app.
At the top right, tap your Profile picture or Initial.
Tap Switch home, then choose the home you want to switch to (if applicable).
Tap Add (+) > Add person to home.
Enter the name or email address of the person you want to invite.
Tap Next, then choose the access level you want to grant (Admin or Member).
If you choose Admin, tap Invite to send the invitation.
If you choose Member, you can toggle Activity or Settings permissions on. Tap Next and then Invite to send the invitation.

To learn more about sharing your Google Home with other family members, please refer to this article: Manage people and permissions in the Google Home app.

Regards,

Gabriela
