2 Ways to Play Tidal on Google Home/Nest

Google Home and Google Nest are two different product lines of smart speakers and displays made by Google.

Google Home was the original name for Google's line of smart speakers, which included the Google Home Mini, Google Home Max, and the original Google Home. However, in 2019, Google rebranded its smart home products and merged them with its Nest product line. Now, all smart speakers and displays made by Google are marketed under the Google Nest brand.

The current lineup of Google Nest devices includes the Nest Mini (previously known as the Google Home Mini), Nest Audio (successor to the original Google Home), Nest Hub (a smart display), Nest Hub Max (a larger smart display), and Nest Wifi (a mesh network system with built-in Google Assistant).

Despite the name change, Google Home and Google Nest devices function similarly and can be controlled using the Google Home app and Google Assistant voice commands. 

Google Nest or Home speaker or display allows you to enjoy music from popular music services by artist, song, genre, album, playlist, mood or activity. You can link your music services and pick a music service as your default on your Google Nest or Home speaker or display. Music services supported includes Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora and Deezer. However, if you are Tidal user, you may feel disappointed as Tidal is not supported. Luckily there are still 2 ways to play your Google Nest or Home speaker or display.
