How to Broadcast Messages on Google Assistant Speakers and Displays

If you have a number of Google Home or Nest speakers and Smart Displays scattered around your house, why not put them to use as a broadcasting system? That’s exactly what you can do with the Google Assistant.

Google Assistant’s broadcasting feature works like a modern intercom.
