In this guide, we will show you various methods to fix the issue of the Pixel Tablet in Hub Mode being missing from Google Home. The Silicon Valley giant once again decided to step into the tablet domain after previous two failed attempts [Pixel C and Pixel Slate]. This time around, it did manage to pass the litmus test, and one major reason for the same was its Dock functionality. Unfortunately though, that very same feature has currently hit a roadblock.
Numerous users have voiced their concern that the Pixel Tablet in Hub Mode is missing from the Google Home speaker group. Even though it appears in the Google Home app, but you cannot add it to speaker groups. It’s like Google Home doesn’t recognize it as a speaker. For many, the option for the tablet and dock simply does not show on the list of available devices. If you are also facing any of these issues, then this guide will help you out. Follow along for the fixes.
