hi I'm ty Pendlebury and today we're going to look at how to connect a Google home to your network and then use it as the heart of a multi-room music system firstly you'll need the 129 dollar Google home in addition to a Google cast compatible audio device this is either the $35 chromecast Audio or one of a growing number of third-party speakers and AV receivers firstly to set up this speaker you will need the Google home app for iOS or Android to add devices to your Network press the little device's icon in the top right corner of the app from here you'll see the Google cast devices that the app is found or the ones that needs setup so we're going to set up the Google home today it's pretty straightforward you just follow the prompts when it gets the wireless setup it can actually use your password saved in the phone if you want which is quite convenient then you'll need to set up the default music service you want in this case I use Spotify and then you're pretty much done next we'll create a group this lets you make a set of speakers which will play all at once and it's the crux of multi-room audio you can make as many groups as you want but they all behave like a single speaker now to play to your new group you can use any Google cast compatible app we'll use Spotify again press the list of available devices and choose the group from the list and then your music players you can also direct Google home to play music on a speaker or group with just your voice okay Google Play so that's how to set up Google home as part of a Google cast music system
