Google Nest Can't Set Music Alarms Anymore

[feliciangan]

I just tried setting a music alarm for the morning as I have done every day for at least a year. I ask Google to set a music alarm for 8:30AM, and usually, she would reply by asking me what I'd like to play. However, she set my alarm with the regular, default alarm tone. She continued, "Just so you know, media alarms are no longer available for Google Assistant." 

Does anyone know why this has happened? 

Thank you all.

Google stopped "media alarms" 

I think it's disgraceful and am bombarding my speaker with feedback on it

It seems that music alarms is one of the "certain underutilized Assistant features" that Google Nest decided to turn off:

Yeah I don't know what's wrong with google - between making racist AI and disabling great services like music alarms, and Google Play Music, it seems they are more invested in making racist AI than supporting their once-great features and software.

Thanks Juni, I submitted feedback on this matter.  I really hope Google reconsiders and adds the media alarm feature back to their smart speakers.
