Spotify on Google Nest

[Jendee]

Is there a way to ask Google Home to play audio on the Nest through Spotify without having to open the app on the phone? I'm afraid the phone battery will die because it's playing from there casting to the Nest. (I may be wrong?) Thanks.

Hi Jendee,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community.
 

Good question, let me help you. You can play music on your Nest speaker/display via voice command. To make sure your Spotify account is linked, check the steps below.

Link your music services:

1. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network or linked to the same account as your speaker or display.
2. Open the Google Home app .
3. At the top right, tap your account.
4. Verify that the Google Account shown is the one linked to your Nest speaker or display. To switch accounts, tap another account or Add another account.
5. Go back to the home screen, and at the top left, tap Add Music.
6. To choose your default service, tap the music service you'd like to use. Assistant will use this service when you say “Hey Google, play music.”
7. To link functionality:
   • For YouTube, your accounts are automatically linked when you link your Google Account to your speaker or display.
   • For Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, and others, you'll need to link your accounts.
     • To connect your account, tap a music service Link account sign in or sign up for the service and follow the in-app steps.
     • To unlink an account, tap Unlink Unlink account.

Note: For all services, speakers and displays currently support a single account per streaming service.

Hope this helps.

Best,
