The company announced in October that users with Google Assistant will soon broadcast messages via Google Home devices.
“And if you’re just leaving the office, you can let your family know you’re coming with a simple ‘Ok Google, broadcast I’m on my way home!’ to the Assistant on your phone, and it will broadcast to your Google Homes,” the blog read.
To get the feature work, sign in with the same Google Account for all devices.
The feature is currently available in the US, Australia, Canada and the UK.
