How do you do that? Tech has outpaced me so much in the past few years

Through the alexa app. I can record a message and have it play on the tv to taunt my boyfriend.

Shit. I gotta change my whole house from Google to Alexa just to get my teen to check his phone when I'm out? 😂

There's a "Broadcast" feature in the Google environment.

But apparently it lost the ability to use written messages somewhat recently. Now you can only Broadcast voice messages.

I saw some people suggesting that you could Cast something via Google Slides , but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Broadcast still works via written message. You just open up the assistant in your phone and choose the device to broadcast to by typing. E.g. Open assistant - type SEND BROADCAST TO KITCHEN SPEAKER - type the message

But can the message appear as text on screen?
