What Is a Google Family Bell?
Family Bell is a recurring, highly customizable reminder that your Google Home speaker or smart display can broadcast on a schedule. It can be set up at a specific time on recurring days like an alarm, but there’s no snooze function. Plus Google can speak a customized message at the designated time and announce anything you want. When a Family Bell rings, there is a chime, followed by the custom message, followed by another chime. Family Bells play on all of your connected Google Home speakers so that everyone in your home gets the message. It’s meant to keep you on a schedule like during a school day, but it can also be used to signal dinner time, snack time, or when it’s time for a break. You can set up a Family Bell for any recurring activity throughout the week. Family Bells can help bring some structure to your daily home life which can be important for any family. Whether the bells are school-related, or just reminders for the whole family, they can be a handy way to keep you moving throughout the day.
