If I ask “hey Google, launch Netflix/Youtube/Spotify/etc” it opens without any issues. However, if I say something like “Hey Google, play Friends on Netflix on TV”, or “Hey Google, play funny videos on YouTube on TV” all I get is “Sorry, something went wrong. When you are ready, give it another try.”.</P><P>Moreover, if I ask it to pause a movie on Netflix, change volume, etc. it doesn’t work, but it used to. Any suggestions on how to fix this?</P> Wed, 22 Oct 2025 20:23:10 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Google-Nest-doesn-t-open-specific-app-requests/m-p/756841#M85404 Ribeiro 2025-10-22T20:23:10Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Streaming/Google-Nest-doesn-t-open-specific-app-requests/m-p/758114#M85466 <P>Hi&nbsp;<a href="https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/805685">@Ribeiro</a>,</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Thank you very much for contacting this community!
