How to create a new speaker group with Google Home app

By default, your Belkin SOUNDFORM™ ELITE Hi-Fi Smart Speaker + Wireless Charger, G1S0001 or any Google Home™ smart speaker works as a stand-alone unit. The Google Home app allows you to combine multiple speakers together into groups to enhance the functionality of the speakers. A speaker group plays the same audio to all speakers in the group, regardless of the room they are in. This article will walk you through creating a speaker group.

Before you begin, you will need the following:

One or more Belkin SOUNDFORM ELITE devices or any Google Home-compatible smart speaker
Latest Google Home app installed on your smartphone or tablet
Make sure that your smartphone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi as your smart speaker

Creating a smart speaker group

NOTE: Although the steps are similar, the images may appear differently depending on your phone's operating system.

Step 1:
Open the Google Home app on your smartphone or tablet.

Step 2:
On the Home screen, tap the plus ( + ) sign in the top-left corner.

Step 3:
Tap Create speaker group.

Step 4:
To add a speaker to the group, tap on your speaker to highlight it. Once you have selected all the speakers you want to add to the group, tap Next.

NOTE: You need at least one speaker device to create a group.

Step 5:
Customize the name of your speaker group. Once done, tap on Save.

NOTE: This is the name that will identify your speaker group in the Google Home app as well as the name you will use when you ask your Google Assistant to play music.
