Broadcast voice messages in your home

To send a message from an Android phone or tablet, you need:

• An Android phone or tablet with Google Assistant.
• At least one speaker, smart display or Smart Clock with Google Assistant built in.
• The same Google Account signed in on your phone and speaker, smart display or Smart Clock.
• On your speaker, smart display or Smart Clock, turn off Do Not Disturb.

To send a message from a speaker, smart display or Smart Clock, you need:

• Two or more speakers, smart displays or Smart Clocks with Google Assistant built in.
• All devices to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
• All devices in the household set up in the Google Assistant app or the Google Home app.
• On your speakers, smart displays and Smart Clocks, turn off Do not display.

When you broadcast to your entire home, your message plays on all speakers, smart displays and Smart Clocks that are both:

1. On the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Signed in to the same accounts as the device that you're broadcasting from.

Tip: You can create routines to broadcast messages in your home. Learn how to create a routine.

Say "Hey Google", then:

• "Broadcast [message]."
• "Shout [message]."
• "Tell everyone [message]."
• "Announce [message]."

Say "Hey Google", then:

• "Broadcast to [room name] [message]."
• "Broadcast to [device name] [message]."

For example, you can say:

• "Hey Google, broadcast to the living room, it's time for homework."
• "Hey Google, broadcast to kitchen display, is dinner ready yet?"

For some common announcements, your speaker, smart display or Smart Clock can play preset messages. Say "Hey Google, broadcast", then:

• Wake up: "It’s time to wake up."
• Breakfast: "Breakfast is ready."
• Lunch: "It’s lunch time."
• Dinner: "Dinner is served."
• Time to leave: "It’s time to leave the house."
• Arrived home: "I’m home."
• On the way: "I’ll be back soon."
• TV time: "The programme is about to start."
• Film time: "Let’s go to the cinema."
• Bed time: "It’s time for bed."
