broadcast from android

I used to be able to EASILY broadcast from my android device to my home thru the google home app.

This is no longer the case since an update from some time ago. How do I broadcast from my android phone to my house.

For instance my kids are home and not answering there phone and I need to tell them something. How do I do this from my phone, yes I have read all the "help" that isnt helpful at all.

There used to be an icon you would just hit broadcast and it did it.

Hi jhindmanjr,

Thanks for posting in the Community! Sorry to hear that you're unable to broadcast to your Nest Speaker. Don't worry, I can help! Let's check if Digital Wellbeing is enabled, as it might be blocking this feature for your security:

At the top of the screen, select the preferred home.
Tap Settings > Google Assistant > Digital Wellbeing.
If it's enabled, turn it off.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Axel.
