In this segment of the video, the presenter showcases three different products designed to mount a Google Home Mini onto a wall, all produced by a company called Mount Genie. The focus is primarily on the “Google Home Mini Backpack,” which is highlighted for its practicality and simplicity. This mount consists of three parts: a wall outlet plug, a holder for the Google Home Mini, and a small cable connecting the device to power. The Google Home Mini is inserted and secured into the holder, plugged into the wall outlet, and ready to use. The presenter mentions that this model is the most practical and popular, emphasizing its ease of use and availability in different colors (white and black). Additionally, the presenter notes that while this mount is highly functional, there might be slight fitting issues with larger chargers if used in the same outlet.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses using outlet faceplates with built-in USB ports to mount a Google Home Mini. The process involves replacing the existing faceplate and using provided screws and a right-angle microUSB to USB connector for a clean installation. This setup keeps regular outlets free and is recommended for those with outlets that include USB ports.
The speaker then introduces another mounting option that is more impractical but, in their opinion, cooler. This method involves drilling a hole in the wall to insert the Google Home Mini, similar to old intercom systems in houses. The idea is to create a built-in smart speaker in every room, offering a futuristic look, although it requires significant wall modification and thus may not be for everyone. The package includes a drywall template for precise hole placement and a 6-foot micro USB extension cable, allowing for ample reach when connecting to power sources.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the impracticality of micro USB cables not being reversible and the challenges of providing power through a 10-foot cord that needs to be concealed behind a wall.

The speaker also introduces a contest where viewers can win one of the Google Home Mini mounts by subscribing to the channel, liking the video, and commenting which mount they prefer and why. Additionally, they mention that similar mounts for the Echo Dot are available. Finally, the speaker gives a shoutout to Mount Genie, providing links to the products and the company’s website in the video description.
