Google Voice not an option under “video & voice apps” in Google Home app

Why does the Google Voice app not show under “video & voice apps” in communication settings in the Google Home app? The only option I am given is Google Meet, but I do not want to make audio calls through Google Meet.

Hi @rothrj91,

Thank you for posting in the community. I’m sorry to hear that you're unable to find Google Voice as an option for your communication settings in the Google Home app. I understand how difficult it is when you have a specific preference for your calling service and the option seems to be missing, especially when you want to avoid using Google Meet for your audio calls. I appreciate you clarifying that only Google Meet is appearing under your settings. I'm happy to assist.

To gather the necessary information, please answer the following questions:

Are you located in the US? Currently, Google Voice calling on Google Nest speakers and displays is only available for Google Voice accounts in the US.
Are you using a personal Google Account or a Google Workspace (business/education) account?
Do you have an active Google Voice number associated with the same Google Account used in the Google Home app?
Have you tried force-closing the Google Home app and checking if Google Voice appears after a restart?

I'll be waiting for your reply.

Best regards,

Derick.

Yes, I am located in the US and, yes, I am using my personal Google account. Google Voice number is linked to my Google account and I have tried restarting the app.

I have been told from other sources Google Voice is no longer an option. Is this true?

Hi there!

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate the information you provided. To help me isolate the specific issue, especially since the menu options can vary based on the specific hardware, please provide a bit more information:

Could you share a screenshot of what you see under the “Video and voice apps” menu?
What is the specific model of the Google Nest Speaker or Display you are trying to use? This article might be helpful: Google Nest speakers and displays.
Have you tried using a voice command to place a call (e.g., "Hey Google, call [Name] using Google Voice")?

In the meantime, you can take a look at the following article: Set up calling on your Google smart speaker or display.

I'll be waiting for your reply.

Best regards.

Derick.
