Google Home already offers multi-user support

Google Home already offers integration with Netflix and Photos

One of the most impressive products marketed in 2016 is Google Home. This is due to its enormous potential, rather than its real usefulness since it is a product that is not yet perfect and that, of course, has a long way to go. A proof of this need for improvement is that, even being a device for the home and, therefore, intended to be used by all members of the family, the Google Home only supports one Google account. Well until now.

The fact that Google Home only supports one Google account is particularly annoying at home since it is evident that each member of the family has specific interests and tastes that ask, or not, to coincide with those of other family members . A clear example is that each user wants to add certain items, and not others, to their shopping list. Luckily, this situation is now a thing of the past because officially, Google Home now supports the use of multiple accounts simultaneously.

From this moment, Google Home supports up to six different user accounts, and will even be able to differentiate the voices of its different users.

To set up multiple accounts on Google Home, the first step will be to update the Google Home app to its latest version. Then simply click on the icon in the upper right to see all connected devices, and select the option to link your account. After doing so, from there you can train your assistant to understand your voice.

Each new user must pronounce and repeat phrases such as "Ok Google" and "Hey Google". After the configuration process is complete, the neural network of Google Home will compare the sound of your voice with your previous analysis to identify who is speaking, something that, apparently, occurs in a matter of milliseconds.

As already has reported The company, multi-user support is already being rolled out for Google Home users in the United States, and will expand to the United Kingdom in the coming months.
