With options like Pandora, Spotify, YouTube Music and Google Play Music, you'll always be able to listen to the music you're craving, and all you have to do is ask Google Home to play what you want to hear.

We've got the details on setting up music with Google Home!

  • Open the Google Home app.
  • Tap the menu button (it looks like three horizontal lines).
  • Tap Music.
  • Tap the music service you want to link.
  • Tap link account.
  • Log in to the account you want to link.

  • Tap Music.
  • Tap the circle next to the music service you want to change to.
