How To Change The Spotify Account On Google Home

Check Spotify account linked to Google Home

Before changing the Spotify account on your Google Home, it’s important to check which account is currently linked. This will ensure that you have the correct information before proceeding with any changes. Here’s how you can check:

Open the Google Home app on your smartphone or tablet.
Select the device that is connected to your Google Home.
Tap on the Settings icon (represented by a gear or three vertical dots) usually located in the top right corner of the screen.
Scroll down and look for the “Services” section. Tap on “Music”.
Under the “Linked accounts” section, you will see the Spotify logo and the currently linked account information.

If you see the correct account displayed, then it means that the Spotify account linked to your Google Home is already the one you want to use. If not, it’s time to unlink the current account and link a new one.

It’s worth noting that you can also check the linked account directly from your Google Home device. Simply say “Hey Google, who am I?” or “Hey Google, what’s my name?” and it will respond with the account name associated with the device.

Unlink current Spotify account

If you’ve checked and confirmed that the current Spotify account linked to your Google Home is not the one you want to use, you can easily unlink it and follow these steps:

Open the Google Home app on your smartphone or tablet.
Select the device that is connected to your Google Home.
Tap on the Settings icon (represented by a gear or three vertical dots) usually located in the top right corner of the screen.
Scroll down and look for the “Services” section. Tap on “Music”.
Under the “Linked accounts” section, you will see the Spotify logo and the currently linked account information. Tap on the Spotify logo.
A pop-up will appear, showing the option to unlink the Spotify account. Confirm your choice by tapping on “Unlink account”.

Once you’ve completed these steps, the Spotify account will be successfully unlinked from your Google Home device, and you can proceed to link a new account.

It’s important to note that unlinking the Spotify account will not affect your actual Spotify account or its playlists. It only removes the association between your Google Home and the particular Spotify account.

Link a new Spotify account

Once you have unlinked the current Spotify account from your Google Home device, you can easily link a new one by following these simple steps:

Open the Google Home app on your smartphone or tablet.
Select the device that is connected to your Google Home.
Tap on the Settings icon (represented by a gear or three vertical dots) usually located in the top right corner of the screen.
Scroll down and look for the “Services” section. Tap on “Music”.
Under the “Linked accounts” section, you will see the Spotify logo. Tap on it.
A pop-up will appear, showing the option to link a Spotify account. Tap on “Link account”.
Enter your Spotify account credentials (username and password) and tap on “Log in”.
Once you’ve successfully logged in, a confirmation will appear indicating that your Spotify account has been linked to your Google Home device.

That’s it! You have now successfully linked a new Spotify account to your Google Home. You can now enjoy personalized music streaming using your preferred Spotify account.

It’s important to remember that you can only link one Spotify account at a time to your Google Home. If you want to switch accounts again in the future, you will need to follow these steps to unlink the current account and then link the new one.

Set new Spotify account as default on Google Home

After you have successfully linked a new Spotify account to your Google Home, you may want to set it as the default account. This ensures that when you ask Google Home to play music, it uses the newly linked Spotify account. Here’s how you can set the new Spotify account as the default:

Open the Google Home app on your smartphone or tablet.
Select the device that is connected to your Google Home.
Tap on the Settings icon (represented by a gear or three vertical dots) usually located in the top right corner of the screen.
Scroll down and look for the “Services” section. Tap on “Music”.
Under the “Music providers” section, you will see the option to choose the default music provider. Tap on it.
Select Spotify from the list of available music providers.
Save your settings and exit the app.

By setting the new Spotify account as the default music provider on your Google Home, whenever you ask Google to play music, it will use the linked Spotify account by default.

It’s important to note that if you have other music providers linked to your Google Home, such as YouTube Music or Pandora, you can also choose to switch between them as the default music provider by following the same steps outlined above.

Troubleshooting tips

If you encounter any issues while changing or linking a Spotify account to your Google Home, here are some troubleshooting tips to help you resolve the problem:

Ensure that your Google Home device and the smartphone/tablet you’re using for the Google Home app are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Make sure that you have the latest version of the Google Home app installed on your device. If not, update the app to the latest version from your device’s app store.
Double-check the Spotify account credentials you entered when linking a new account. Ensure that you have entered the correct username and password.
Restart both your Google Home device and the smartphone/tablet you’re using for the Google Home app. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.
Try unlinking and relinking the Spotify account. This can refresh the connection and resolve any temporary issues.
If you are still unable to change or link a Spotify account, try performing a factory reset on your Google Home device. Note that this will remove all settings and personalized configurations, so make sure to backup any important data beforehand.
If none of the above steps work, reach out to the Google Home support team or the Spotify support team for further assistance. They will be able to provide specific guidance based on your device and account information.

By following these troubleshooting tips, you can overcome any obstacles you encounter and successfully change or link a Spotify account to your Google Home.
