How to add family member to Google Nest (2022)

• Adding a Family member to Google Nest (Google Home) can be done from the Google Home app.
• You can add up to 19 people with varying access permissions including up to 9 people with Full Access and up to 10 people with Home Entry Only access (supported only with certain Nest devices).
• What added members can do depends on the access level they have. They still won’t be able to access your personal notifications or change subscriptions.

If you have a lot of smart devices around the house, you’ll probably want other members of your household to use them. For some devices, you don’t need to add other users, but there are many Nest devices that won’t offer all features unless the Owner (you) is not using them. So, make sure to add your family members or roommates by following the instructions provided below.
