Google Home Mini

[Sonnyday]

I just upgraded my phone to a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.  I have it set up that I can talk to the phone and ask the phone to take a screenshot.   The issue is when I try doing this at home, The Google Home Mini overrides the direction to the phone.  Some days, I can make the request and some I can't.  I can't find where I give the Google Home Mini permanent screen access.  Which is what it tells me I need to do.

Hi @Sonnyday 

Unfortunately, if you're signed into the same account on both your phone and your speaker, and you're in range of your speaker, the speaker will take precedence and respond over your phone, but of course the speaker cannot do certain things that are only possible on your phone. To control this you have a few options:

• Move further away from your speaker so you're out of it's microphone range.
• Mute the microphone on your speaker using it's physical mute switch.
• Reduce how sensitive Google Assistant is to “Hey Google”
