Let us know! Do you use the live photo feature for your Nest Hub?

[@rdr_thebest4918]

I didn’t even buy anything but the videos are really good

[@jan5327]

My favorite feature is definitely the picture frame and the ability to control music without having to pull out my phone.

[@kingleo_95]

Damn what an amazing video. I'm a tech head and just picked up one of these at Best Buy on sale. I had no idea where to start despite knowing tech really well and you explained all off my questions perfectly!

[@Keninoz1]

Just received one of these as a gift & not very tech savvy. This video was very helpful :)

[@TyCwn-obsrv]

I really appreciate the detailed content. You answer all the questions. But the same time I shouldn’t have to skip five minutes to get to the actual user guide. Regardless appreciate your work.

[@arod7404]

For me, the superior audio quality of the max makes it the winner for me

[@fiifiacquah-cobbold9295]

I'll be honest it just depends on what eco system you prefer but I like the nest hub 2 for my bedroom. The sleep sensing is incredible giving me a good idea of how I sleep.

[@yaimaracruz7835]

Excellent video!! I loved it!!!

[@abilashvb6653]

Very nice & Usefull comprehensive presentation ...

[@thetruth5117]

Hi, what camera is that in the background on the far right with the red dot?

[@MdWahidurRahmanOvi]

Can't wait to see this channel grow! Amazing. Subscribed !!

[@kingkobra1956]

I'm totally immersed in the Echo eco system, but I bought this device just for something to do and it was a total nightmare to set up. I've had it for about a year I guess and all it does is soak up my wifi because I don't use it. Maybe one day when I'm not feeling lazy I'll play with it. All of my automations go through my Echo devices so I'm good.

[@Oxyon84]

I keep hearing nesttop instead of nest hub, and honestly that would have been a perfect name for it.

[@voongmc3929]

I cannot hear the volume on my Nest Hub. Can you help me? I received the Nest hub as a goft for Mothers Day and I am truly overwhelmed. Appreciate your help!

[@WoWGuideMore101]

is the sleep tracking still free at the moment?

[@RayZorJ3lade1]

How have you got apps on the swipe up menu????

[@ramli1111]

would this or the new echo show 5 (gen 3) would be better?

[@us9807]

I got this as a gift in USA. Used it for a while there with WiFi at home. Now I have brought it to India. Even with my newly installed WiFi at home, I am unable to set up with my android phone. I have also factory reset the nest hub, but in vein. Looking forward to right direction/guidance. Thanks.

[@one4320]

Vain

[@jams_obseoyo]

I just got mine today and I'm struggling a bit. I don't have the app drawer like you do, and can't figure out how to get my tasks, lists or notes to display on the nest hub. I also don't know how to see my calendar without verbally asking. Also, when I ask to see my calendar, it shows me my events but not tasks

[@youjustboughta]

Try the steps here under: "set up personalization." support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7029002?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid#zippy=%2Cone-person-using-a-speaker-or-display Let me know if you still have trouble. The app drawer can take a sec to populate sometimes. But you should see it soon.

[@mr.no_name5777]

Can i sync the nest hub with the nest audio!

[@JPTheron88]

You are an excelent presenter, Awesome video thank you!

[@bobbythurman4456]

Is it the same as Nest Hub Max?

[@pr0sper0]

Hello, amaizing video, can I have my Google calendar on screen if I have one for my personal office?

[@youjustboughta]

Doesn't seem like you can keep the calendar on the display screen, but you can readily access the info with voice commands. www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Speakers-and-Displays/Calendar-display-on-Hub-Max/m-p/4936

[@davidhutchings9260]

great!

[@patrickcarignan2618]

Can you add a youtube music alarm? Thanks for the vid. Well done.

[@youjustboughta]

Yep! Check out this support page. support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7071598?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid#zippy= You need to make YT Music your default, and then you can set up your alarm.

[@patrickcarignan2618]

@@youjustboughta I found why it was not working on my side. It is only available in the USA. Thanks

[@josemanuellastra2488]

Everything innovative of the Google Home is available just in USA, including the voice reminders and the continued conversation, they prioritize USA in a frustrating level of being a limitation; OMG! Google, What about Mexico? And Latin america? We also deserve it, not just USA

[@curthoffman1935]

Our unit inconsistently shuts down 2 or 3 minutes before the hour, and has to be started up again. This is annoying, especially when it interrupts music or discussion in the middle. How do we fix this?

[@voongmc3929]

I have no Idea. My son set it for photos to scroll the entire day. I have no idea how to make changes of any sort.

[@beastbooster4279]

How do i turn off the nest hub? Just got it and don’t want it to let it on all night

[@josemanuellastra2488]

I don’t like at all how Google Assistant works on my Sonos Roam speaker; Often Disconnects saying there was a glitch or can’t reach the internet right now, responds pretty slow, doesn’t play the news in my Good morning routine, and the music requests almost never work. How do I fix it? I’ve factory reset it several times to no avail, issues remain. Now, it’s my first Google Assistant built-in speaker but I didn’t like it at all and I want to get rid of it, and buy a first party Google Nest speaker. Does the Nest Mini or the Nest audio work reliably and entirely errors free or all of them have similar issues? Google Assistant on my Android tablet worked fine

[@youjustboughta]

First party Google products are definitely smoother. I don't think anything in the smart home is entirely glitch free. But you'd almost certainly have a better experience than it sounds like you're having now.

[@josemanuellastra2488]

@@youjustboughta Google will release the Pixel Tablet, I’m thinking to buy it on the future, seems to be replacing the Nest Hub, but I used a lot Google Assistant Conversational actions, and they will not be available anymore

[@pious7211]

Can we add new apps

[@arnikens22]

can you play youtube remotely? I have an uncle in a nursing home and bought this so i can remotely play KZbin videos everyday after dinner for him

[@mikevandebunt811]

You cannot borrow some sugar, I need to feed it to Fluffy.

[@gibson7654]

Ok how do you add a Google photo album to this thing? The albums do not populate in Google home.

[@youjustboughta]

It's possible you're experiencing a glitch. If you're using Google Photos to create albums, they should show up for you in the Google Home app as an option for your photo frame. Here are the first party instructions: support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9136992?hl=en

[@voongmc3929]

I will check back for your answers after making dinner.

[@techgets08]

I cant see motion sense on my nest hub settings

[@josemanuellastra2488]

Factory reset it

[@lucy-me-lucy]

The background music is too loud

[@naveedkanji1]

how much RAM and storage does this device have? can you download apps on it?

[@youjustboughta]

You can't download apps, unfortunately. It's not a full tablet. Just a device specialized for your countertop.

[@pradiptapamungkas531]

So, do you think it is still worth having a google nest hub in 2023?

[@robinleequinones]

Show us how it works.

[@TheSixoul]

Unfortunately, this video has aged poorly. Google axed many of the most useful features and now it's just an overpriced paperweight in the Kitchen. Your phone is likely much easier to use as the hub's alternative for most of the features removed is just bring up a google search page which is not that great at navigating.

[@emamenram12]

This product is trash, it was good in 2020 but now is just trash. Never connect, asking for updates and then never connect. Also google home app is no longer doing set up it needs another external app to do it. Trash

[@josemanuellastra2488]

Agree, I have a Sonos Roam speaker with both Alexa and Google built-in, I found out that Google Assistant in Mexico currently is very frustrating too, often doesn’t get the commands or play the routines the way it should, often disconnects and the voice reminders are not working at all and nobody talks about it, in 2020 Google Assistant was so, much, better, right now just doesn’t work as it should

[@robertdowner2328]

but yet it cannot show you your Gmail messages lol. Useless.

[@stopwithdahandle]

Bro called a whole product useless because of Gmail 💀

[@meshulamgill8900]

You talk too much

[@jcmar209]

It's called informative.

[@Spiritdove64]

Stop with the stupid comedy routine and tell me what it does.

[@mr.sharkey]

Why are the jokes u make so cringe I almost clicked off the video
