Home on minis respond correctly with Spotify but not on YouTube Music with the same prompt.

We were looking into switching from Spotify to YouTube Music for our family plan since Spotify is increasing their prices (and because they pay artists so little, and continue to make their app worse). But, it looks like we may not be able to, because YouTube Music doesn't work well with our nest minis. We have given the same prompt for requests to play music and albums specifying to "play on YouTube Music" or "play on Spotify", and every time the prompt works for Spotify, but YouTube Music plays something other than what we requested. Has anyone else had similar issues and know of any ways to resolve? We switched our default music player to YouTube Music, and I transferred all of my playlists over to YouTube Music. Everything else is working as it should on our nest minis, except YouTube Music prompts. Some will work, but most play the wrong thing.

Hi @artistJames

 

Thank you so much for reaching out to the community. I’m truly sorry to hear that your Home minis are not responding to You tube. I’m happy to assist you!

 

To troubleshoot, I recommend unlinking your devices from Spotify. You can find instructions in this article: Link your music services and set your default service 

 

There's also a helpful article on playing music with Google Nest and Home devices: Listen to music on Google Nest and Google Home speakers and displays.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Keep me posted.

 

Best regards,

Ana.
