The Apple HomePod only supports a handful of music services.

Thankfully, YouTube Music is joining the party.

you’re able to now control YouTube Music playback from your HomePod using Siri voice commands.

Previously, YouTube Music had to be beamed to the HomePod over AirPlay.

This functionality requires aYouTube PremiumorMusic Premiumsubscription, just as it does on Google Assistant speakers.

To set things up, start by installing the latest YouTube Music update on iOS.

Commands like “Hey Siri, play YouTube Music” will work as expected.

it’s possible for you to also set YouTube Music as your default music provider on HomePod.

Oddly, native YouTube Music support on HomePod was announced ina Reddit thread.

Very few music services are natively supported on the HomePod.

The shortlist includes Deezer, Tidal, Pandora, iHeart Radio, TuneIn Radio, and YouTube Music.

This update is part of a broad expansion of the YouTube Music service.

YouTube Music also gainedpodcast functionalityearlier this year.

To reiterate, YouTube Music streaming on the HomePod requires aYouTube PremiumorMusic Premiumsubscription.
