Google Home is a smart wireless speaker, which functions to voice control playback of music through Google Assistant. With it, users get permission to handily stream music from Spotify, YouTube Music, etc. for voice-controlled playback. However, due to the rivalry between Google and Amazon, Google Home is not compatible with Amazon Music streaming service, which means Amazon Music users cannot directly play Amazon Music on Google Home as YouTube Music users do.

Although there is no direct way to ask Google Assistant to play Amazon Music, you can get other available methods to achieve your goal. Here we show how to successfully link Amazon Music to Google Home/Google Home Mini/Google Nest/ Google Home Hub on computer, iPhone, Android and Chrome browser.
