How to Set Up Google Home for Multiple Users

Here's how to add multiple users to your Google Home devices so that you can access all the best-customized features.

Add and Manage Users and Devices

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Google Home app.

2. In the bottom menu bar, tap the Account icon in the upper-right corner.

3. Select Settings > Voice Match. Here you can choose from:

   • Teach Your Assistant Your Voice Again to have Google re-learn your voice.
   • Invite Others Who Use Your Devices to add access for other users on your network.
   • Shared Devices with Voice Match lets you check what devices your voice is matched to.
   • Remove Voice Match from either an individual device by selecting the X next to it or from all devices with the command at the end of the list.

Why Your Kids Need Their Own Google Home User Accounts

It doesn't take long for even young kids to figure out that saying "Hey Google" makes things happen on your Google Home device. To keep your child from making purchases or accessing music or videos that may be inappropriate, have them use voice matching under their Google accounts. Google Assistant recognizes them and behaves appropriately.

Restrictions are based on the child's age. In the U.S., kids under 13 won't be able to:

• Play YouTube content (videos or music).
• Use YouTube Music without a YouTube Music family plan.
• Make purchases.
• Use non-Google applications that aren't For Families approved.

There are still plenty of fun things your kids can access on Google Home, like these Disney games designed especially for kids. But you'll know they won't make purchases or cruise YouTube without you.

With multiple users, you can get personalized content through each of your Google Home devices and protect your kids from content that you don't want them to access.
