I can't connect my Xbox One to my Google Home Mini

[vilmerlindgren]

I can't connect my Xbox One to my Google Home Mini whatsoever. I have tried all official guides, my Xbox One is setup with the assistant feature toggled on, and when I try to connect my xbox to my Google Home, it just says "Could not reach xbox. Please try again". Like what?

Please help, thanks.

Hi! Thanks for replying.

Well now some time later, I (accidentally) factory reset my phone. When I then remembered that I needed to install Google Home, I tried setting up the Xbox again, and it worked! So for me, factory reset did it. And concerning your guide, I did exactly that both before and after the factory reset, the only difference being that it worked after the fr. 

Sincerely,
