Setup google workspace user for google home

[Bastenkate]

Hello 

is there a way to set up a google works space user account for google home services, currently it seems impossible.

Reason mainly is, in our house all rooms have google home devices. Eg 2 bedrooms. 

I would like to use different spotify accounts on those google home devices, since of they both play, and someone is saying stop, or a different song, they will stop the service on the other device. 

So i would like to add extra users to the google home app, to the specific home, and then connect a different spotify account. 

It would be fairly feasible if google didnt block the home app for its workspace users, which seems kind of odd that google stops services for there own accounts/services, and that there isnt an option to enable it.

Hey @Bastenkate, 

You can find the manual on how to set a Google Workspace account to work with the Home App in this HC article. Some features are not available for Google Workspace, or might have limited functionality. You might be interested in turning on Search and Assistant to the account that you plan to use with Google Home.

If the features that you would like to use are limited, you can consider creating a new personal Gmail account for the second device.

Hope this helps,
Best,
Marcin

At https://admin.google.com/ac/appslist/additional there is no "Web & app activity" as stated in the this HC article.

I have done the  turning on Search and Assistant to the account that you plan to use with Google Home.

This recently came up as lists are supposedly now stored in Keep and When I asked to add something to my shopping list, I was told to contact My administrator (which is me).

Workspace users are constantly being treated as second class Google Citizens even though we are paying money to Google.
As a long term user, from when it was called "Google for Domains" it is very depressing.

Any ideas?

I have exactly the same issue, seems business users have been forgotten even though being able to schedule view a home device would be really useful. Come on google - sort it out!

And even if a Google Workspace User logs into Google Home, they can not invite other Google Workspace Users to join.

O mais interessante é que a minha Alexa me fala a agenda de compromissos da conta do workspace e o meu assistente do google não.

Vai entender .....
