Google Home will soon juggle three queries at once
The Google Home's multitasking feature will soon support an extra command.
The Google Home, Google Home Max and Google Home Mini.
The Google Home is getting a little better at multitasking. Google's smart speaker will soon perform three queries at once. So you'll be able to say, "OK Google, dim the lights and play Marvin Gaye and turn the volume down," and create instant ambience.
Google announced the update on the Made by Google Twitter page, though the tweet was later deleted, perhaps indicating the feature is not quite ready. We couldn't get it to work on a Google Home. Google didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
You’re not the only one who can multitask. Now Google Home can perform up to three queries at a time, so you can get more done. pic.twitter.com/7jTd97Evus

This expands on the Home's earlier multitasking feature, which could handle two things at once. Adding a third request could save time for people who have a lot of smart home appliances controlled by their Google Home.
The feature will likely work in English-speaking countries like the US, UK, Australia and Canada. To use the feature you'll just link different queries by saying "and" between commands. You can read more about multitasking in this Google support page.
