How to watch YouTube on Google Nest Hub | Digital Trends Spanish

Since you can place a Nest Hub anywhere in your home, there are a couple of ways to use YouTube through the smart display. First, while preparing food in the kitchen.

Trying to remember a recipe can be tricky, and watching a video tutorial will help you nail it down, so it’s easy to say, “Hey Google, play how to cook orange chicken on Youtube.”

Another easy-to-use example involves having the Nest Hub on a nightstand, you could have YouTube play slower story-based videos to lull the kids to sleep or get everyone ready for bedtime. Here we explain how to configure it.

Step 1: To open YouTube on a Nest Hub, say the wake phrase “Ok Google.”

Step 2: Say “Open YouTube” or “Play [el nombre del título del video que quieres reproducir] in Youtube”.

Step 3: These commands will display the specified video and start playback or open the general YouTube app for viewing.

Step 4: Use the touch controls to choose which video to play.

You can use voice commands or touch controls on the Nest Hub screen to play, pause, and skip between videos.

Although the Google Assistant and Nest Hub are some of the smartest devices we have in our homes, using voice controls may not be as intuitive as we’d like.

Another way to start watching YouTube on your Nest Hub is to stream it from another device. Casting makes sure you’re playing the right video without having to constantly repeat to the Assistant what you want to see.

Nest Hub has Chromecast technology built in, so you can use the YouTube app on your phone, tablet, or website on your computer to cast any video you’re watching on your Nest Hub.

When streaming video to a Nest Hub, you have the option to control media and audio playback from the source device or through voice commands and touch controls on the Hub itself.

Step 1: Make sure your Nest Hub and your phone or tablet are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 2: Open the YouTube app.

Step 3: Press the Radio Share button at the top of the app and select your Nest Hub to open YouTube on the smart display. You can also select a video first, then press the Radio Share button to play the video on your Nest Hub immediately.

There are also content settings on the Nest Hub for when kids watch YouTube. Child accounts managed with Google Family Link that have voice match enabled will only be able to play content from YouTube Kids.

Step 1: To change YouTube parental controls on your Nest Hub, first open the Google Home app on your phone.

Step 2: Choose your specific Nest Hub screen from the main list.

Step 3: Tap the gear icon settings menu at the top of the app.

Step 4: select category Notifications and Digital Wellbeing.

step 5: Select YouTube settings.

step 6: Here, you can enable or disable Youtube restricted mode, Youtube TV content filter or both.

You can also stream YouTube TV to your Nest Hub with a similar setup and control process. Remember, YouTube TV is a separate paid subscription.

Step 1: To open YouTube on a Nest Hub, say the wake phrase “Ok Google.”

Step 2: Say “Play TV,” “Go to YouTube TV,” or “Watch YouTube TV.”

Step 3: These commands will open the YouTube TV app and automatically play the last channel you played.

Step 4: Then you can use voice commands or further interact with the app or touch the screen.

Having access to YouTube available on the Nest Hub is a huge plus, and it’s also not hard to get up and running. Although you don’t need to have a YouTube Premium account, it will give you more features that (at least some) are applicable when viewed on Nest Hub.
