Whats streaming on Nest Mini

[Tymoniasty]

Hi all,

Apologies for a dumb question.

I have asked my kitchen nest mini smart speaker to stream some music, obviously it didn't understand and it is streaming some random playlist (either from Spotify or TuneIn).

I actually like it (even though its completely different genre to what I was asking for).

How can I check what's streaming at the moment?

I tried "whats that song" command from Google assistant, but it pauses the music (other song checking app just provides the title of the song that currently plays).

Is there any interface where I can see whats streaming currently on the speaker?

Is there somewhere list of requests for the speaker?

Hello Tymoniasty,

Thanks for reaching out —  let me help.

You can ask your Google Nest Mini this commands  “OK Google, what’s playing?,” “What song is playing?,” “What artist is playing?” to know what media or song is playing. The other way is to use your Google Home app. 

1. Make sure the mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network or signed in or linked to the same account as the Google Nest, Home, or Chromecast device.
2. Open the Google Home app.
3. Select Media.
4. The media that's currently playing is displayed along with the devices it's playing from.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Alex

thanks Azarco.

The method provided works fine but only while the music is playing (which answers partly my question).
Part two was asking if there is some sort of history of all commands/requests/answers on the speaker?

Hey there,

Understood. You can try these steps to check audio recording in My Activity:

1. Open the Google Home app.
2. At the upper-right, tap the account icon.
3. Verify the Google Account on screen is the one linked to the speaker or display. To switch accounts, tap the down arrow icon > choose another account or Add another account.
4. Select My Activity.

Note: This opens a list of all recent voice commands the customer has given.

Thanks,

Alex
