How can I connect other household members?

To connect other household members to your Google Home, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Google Home app.
  2. Tap the Profile icon in the top right corner.
  3. Tap Settings.
  4. Tap Home & devices.
  5. Tap the name of the home you want to share.
  6. Tap Manage.
  7. Tap People.
  8. Tap Add person.
  9. Enter the email address of the person you want to add.
  10. Tap Send invitation.

The person you invited will receive an email with instructions on how to join your home. Once they have joined, they will be able to control your Google Home devices and access the same features as you.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when connecting other household members to your Google Home:

  • The person you invite must have a Google account.
  • The person you invite must be within range of your Wi-Fi network.
  • The person you invite must have the Google Home app installed on their device.

I hope this helps!

I got sick to death of trying to add people with the way google recommended and it not working.. So i just made a google account solely for the cameras and nothing more. I just use that account to sign in on all the devices that want to access the cameras. In saying that my cameras and associated home app haven't worked in over 3 weeks. The jokers at google and their ongoing so called google support have literally no idea whatsoever how to fix the faults. If i showed you the emails and you could hear the hours of recordings from the phone calls to google home support you'd be dumbfounded by their ineptitude.
