How to Set Up Multiple Family Members with Separate Spotify/Google Music Accounts

[Dizzy49]

We have a bunch of speakers (Google Home, Nest Audio, Nest Hub, Minis) throughout the house.  I set them all up with my account.  My wife and daughter (19yr old) are part of my Google Home.

I use Google Music, my wife uses Google Music and Pandora, and my daughter uses Google Music and Spotify.

How can I set it up in Home so that when they ask for music it uses their Google/Pandora/Spotify accounts?

Based on some threads about trying to set up minors, I know that it's possible, but my Google search skills are lacking today and I couldn't find a walkthrough.

Thanks!

Hi Dizzy49,

Thanks for reaching out.

Linking music on your Google Nest speakers differs on the accounts linked to it. Since you've mentioned that your devices are all linked under your account, other users will have an access to your playlists unless they are also set up and added as a home member of your home.

To make other users link and use their own music account, they must be a home member of your home structure. Here's how: 

1. Open the Google Home app .
2. If you have more than one home, tap Favorites . At the top, select the home you want to edit.
3. Tap Settings tap Add Home member.
4. Enter the name or email address of the person you want to invite to your home tap Next.
5. Review what’s shared when you add someone to your home tap Next.
6. Review the person’s access to your home tap Send.
7. If your Google Family Group isn’t full and the person you’re inviting isn’t already in one, you should get the option to invite them to your Google Family Group.
   • To invite them, tap Add to Family.
   • To skip this step, tap No Thanks.
   • Note: You can have up to 6 members in a Google Family Group.

The person you invite should receive an email with instructions.

Note: If the person you want to invite has already requested to join your home, you need to accept that request instead of sending a new invitation.

Let me know if this works on your end.

Best,

Princess

My wife and daughter are already part of my Google Family Group.  How do we add their Spotify/Google Music/Pandora accounts?

Hi Dizzy49,

Thanks for the additional info.

Are their emails linked to the Google Nest speakers? If they are already a home member, they need to have their own Home app and make sure the right email account is logged in. After that, they should be able to see the options to link their own music accounts. 

Let me know how it goes.

Best,

Princess
