I used to be able to link commands for streaming and timers. e.g. "Hey Google, stream BBC1 for two minutes". That command worked a treat. However, Google Assistant has recently started to ignore the time instruction completely.
I now need to give 2 separate distinct commands.
1. Hey Google, Stream BBC1
2. Hey Google, Stop streaming in 30 mins.
Anything altered in setup I should know about? It's my most common used command around the house and that change is frustrating me no end!!

Hi @CraigG!
I understand your frustration with the BBC1 streaming and timer commands not working together anymore. That sounds like a real inconvenience, and I apologize for the trouble.
While linking streaming services with timers isn't currently supported, there are a couple of ways we can help improve your experience:
Routines: You can create a custom routine in the Google Home app. This allows you to combine multiple actions into a single voice command. Here's how:
Voice Assistant Improvement: We appreciate your feedback about linking streaming and timers. Our team is always working to improve the Assistant's functionality. You can let us know directly by providing feedback within the Google Home app. Here's how:
We hope these suggestions help! In the meantime, we'll pass your feedback on to the development team for future improvements.
Regards,
Josh
