Do you have a Google Home and a Spotify account, but don’t know how to make them work together? Did you know that you can turn your Google Home into a personal DJ with a few simple adjustments? We’ll take you step-by-step through how to connect Spotify to your Google Home and get the most out of your voice commands.
How do I connect Spotify to Google Home?

Open the Google Home application on your phone.
- Go to ‘Settings’.
- Select ‘Music’.
- Choose Spotify from the list of available services.
Once you’ve selected Spotify, the application will ask you to link your Spotify account. Follow the on-screen instructions. If you have more than one Spotify account, use Google Voice Match to associate each Google account with a separate Spotify account.
That’s it! You can now use voice commands to control Spotify.

Once this has been done, every time you ask Google Home to play music, it will use Spotify. Just say “OK Google, play some music” and Spotify will launch automatically.
Voice commands to control Spotify
Controlling Spotify with Google Home is child’s play. You can launch your favorite playlists, pause, skip songs or adjust the volume, all without lifting a finger. Just say “OK Google, play my Spotify playlist” or “OK Google, put some music on Spotify”.
How do I listen to my playlist on Google Home?
Make sure your mobile device and your Google Home are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Use simple voice commands like “OK Google, play my playlist [Nom de la playlist] on Spotify”.
Check that your playlist is properly named and accessible on your Spotify account. If you have more than one Spotify account, use Google Voice Match to associate each Google account with a separate Spotify account. In this way, each user can enjoy his or her own playlists and musical preferences.
You can also control playback via the Spotify application on your phone. Say “Hey Google, play this week’s Discoveries” to explore new music.
Follow these steps to easily enjoy your favorite playlists on Google Home.
Spotify Free and Premium compatible with Google Home
Spotify Free works with Google Home and Nest, but has a few limitations. Spotify Free users will inevitably have to deal with ads. There are also restrictions on the choice of songs. For example, you won’t always be able to listen to a specific song on demand. Instead, you’ll often have to make do with playlists or stations based on an artist or musical genre.
With Spotify Premium, the experience is much smoother. No ads and total control over what you listen to. You can ask Google Home to play any song, album or playlist without restriction. This is a real plus if you like to control your music.
Here are a few points to keep in mind:
- Ads: Present on Spotify Free, absent on Spotify Premium.
- Song selection: Limited on Spotify Free, unlimited on Spotify Premium.
- Audio quality: Quality is best with Spotify Premium.
Subscription sharing to cut costs
Subscription sharing to cut costs
Subscription sharing is a practical and economical way to reduce your monthly expenses. Thanks to platforms like Sharesub, you can share the cost of your subscriptions with other users in a legal and secure way. This not only maximizes the use of each subscription, but also generates considerable savings.
For example, with Spotify subscription sharing, you can offer the remaining seats of your family subscription on Sharesub. Other users can join your group and contribute to the costs, reducing the amount you pay each month. You can also join an existing group to access Spotify Premium at a reduced rate.
