How to Set Up and Use Spotify on Google Home?

Before you can enjoy Spotify music on Google Home, you need to link your Spotify account to your Google Home. This will allow you to use voice commands on your phone to control Spotify on Google Home. Here are the steps to do that:

  • Step 1. Download and open the Google Home app on your smartphone or tablet.
  • Step 2. Tap the plus sign (+) at the top left of the screen and select Music.

💡 You can also set Spotify as your default music service on Google Home, so you don’t have to say "on Spotify" at the end of your voice commands. To do that:

  • Tap Music under services and select Spotify as the default music player.

That’s it! You have successfully connected your Spotify account to a Google Home and set it as your default music service on Google Home. Now you can start playing music with voice controls or your phone.

Spotify Premium lets you play any song, album, playlist, or podcast on Google Home without ads or interruptions. Spotify Free also works on Google Home, but only in shuffle mode with ads. To play Spotify music on Google Home on demand with Spotify Free, see part 3.


How to Play Spotify Music on Google Home by Voice or Phone?

Now that you have linked your Spotify account to your Google account, you can start playing music on Google Home by voice or phone. Here are the steps:

  • Start by saying, "Hey Google" or "OK Google" to wake up your Google Home device.
  • Follow it up with a voice command like:
  • "Play [song/artist/playlist] on Spotify."
  • "Play my Discover Weekly on Spotify."
  • "Play some [genre] music on Spotify."
  • "Play my Liked Songs on Spotify."

You can also control the volume, skip tracks, repeat songs, and more with voice commands. You can check a list of voice commands for Spotify and Google Home here.

  • Open the Spotify app on your smartphone or tablet.
  • Play a song, album, or playlist of your choice from the Spotify app.
  • Tap on the devices icon (usually located at the bottom-right corner of the screen).
  • From the list of available devices, select your Google Home device.
  • The Spotify music will now start playing on your Google Home.

Additionally, you can control playback and adjust settings using the playback controls within the Spotify app or through your phone's volume buttons.

💡 Why Can't I Link Spotify to Google Home?

You can try the following methods to solve the problem:

  • Make sure your device and Google Home are on the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Check if you grant Google access to your Spotify account data and activity.
  • Set Spotify as the default music player (optional).
  • If the above steps don’t work, you can try unlinking and relinking your Spotify account.
  • You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the Google Home app or Spotify app, and then try again.
  • You can also try unplugging and plugging back in your Google Home device, and then try again.
  • If none of the above methods work, you can try resetting your Google Home device to factory settings, and then set it up and link it again. Or you can just use the method in Part 3, which doesn’t need to link Spotify to Google Home.
