The multitudes of Bluetooth speakers that have been left dormant in the wake of the influx of Google Home smart speakers are about to see new life, with Google announcing you can now pair Bluetooth speakers to Google Home devices.

The ability to connect your Google Home devices to Bluetooth speakers adds a multitude of benefits including the ability to control your Bluetooth speaker with your voice. You can also now add in a few Bluetooth speakers to a multi-room audio setup for full surround sound.

To set it up, simply open your Google Home app and pair your Bluetooth speaker. Once you’ve paired a Bluetooth speaker you can choose to have Home out put audio to the speaker, or add it into an audio group for multi-room audio.

The big winner here will be Google Home Mini owners who can now get a much bigger sound from their device, but you can also do this with the full Google Home – and the Google Home Max if you have one.
