Hi Wall23,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community.

A few things: Are you trying to set up a Nest device to the Google Home app using your account?  If so, which Nest device are we working with? If it’s a speaker check the steps below.

1. Plug in your speaker or display.
   • If the device has been used before, factory reset your speaker or display before you continue.
2. On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app .
3. Tap the Add icon Set up device New device follow the in-app steps.
   • If the Set up devices button is not on the screen:
     1. To set up your first device in the Home app, tap Get started Set up new devices Create another home Next enter a home nickname and address.
   • Note: You’ll need to enter a nickname, but you can choose not to enter your address.
     1. To set up all other devices, at the top left, tap the Add icon Set up device New device.
     2. Follow the remaining steps.
4. You’ll be able to opt out of some settings, like Voice Match or personal results. You can change these settings at any time after you complete setup.
