Google Nest Mini Does Not Play News.

Hi, recently I have had a problem with my nest speaker where it does not play the news. Usually I would ask it to play the latest new but now when I ask it this it says 'sorry I didn't understand'. Ask it again and it says to check the digital well-being settings. I check the well-being setting and all restrictions are disabled. Please could you help.

Hi Toasty, 

 

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community.

 

I know how it feels when something isn’t working as it should, and we appreciate the troubleshooting that you did. A few things: Are you able to use other features, like playing music? What is the exact command that you are using to play the news? You can try these commands and let me know if they work for you:

 

Say "Ok Google" or "Hey Google," then:

 

"Play me the news."

"Listen to the news."

"Tell me the news."

 

If you are getting the same response, you can do a sequential reboot. First, unplug your Nest Mini for 30 seconds, then do the same thing to your Wi-Fi router to refresh both devices and your Wi-Fi signal.

 

Check out this article for more information.

 

Keep me posted.

 

Regards,

Juni
