Why doesn't Nest mini 2nd generation play music in the UAE region?

Hi,

I recently bought a Nest mini 2nd generation speaker in UAE (Dubai) through the e-commerce website noon.com

The configuration was done successfully and followed the instructions except for playing music/songs from youtube music or Spotify. Is it restricted to playing music in this region or any other issues?

Please help to fix the issues.

Hey johndp,

 

Thanks for reaching out. 

 

We know how important this is for you however, since Google Nest Mini isn't officially launched in your country, some features may or may not work. What's the exact command you've used and what's the response of your Nest  Mini when you ask it to play music? Do you have the option to link your music provider on the Google Home app?

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Best,

Alex

Hi,
 
Whenever I give a command like "Hey Google, Play some music" it answers "It’s not available, But you can play music with other devices". I bought this product in UAE through the e-commerce website noon.com and have tried 3-4 times re-configuring the device. It responds to other commands like "What is the time? What is the weather like? etc., but facing the problem only with music/songs even though youtube music and Spotify are already linked.
 
I suspect this issue is due to a geographical restriction (UAE), Are there any other possible ways to access music? Please advise.

Hi johndp,

 

Thanks for the details you've shared. You might want to try setting up your Google Nest Mini and use US English as your language and location. However, just to set your expectation, this may or may not work. 

 

Let us know if it works.
