Set an alarm

You can choose traditional sounds to be your alarm.

Important: For now, you must use the Google Assistant in English in the US to set media alarms. You must use English in the US or Canada to set character voice alarms.

To set an alarm, say what kind of alarm you want. For example:

• "Set alarm for 6.00 a.m. tomorrow."
• "Wake me up at 7.00 a.m. tomorrow."
• "Set an alarm for 8.00 a.m. every day of the week."

When you set a media alarm, the alarm will ring while your media plays in the background.

Stop an alarm

You can pause the alarm or turn it off completely.

Snooze an alarm

Say a command. For example:

• "Hey Google, snooze."
