After getting back to back “sponsored” ads on my echo show I started researching voice assistants and pulled the trigger on the max after watching your very informative video. This smaller version would make a nice addition to the bedroom since it has the sleep monitoring capability. I’m liking this more everyday.

The fact that he took the time to lower the volume when saying "hey Google" earned a subscription. Real thoughtfulness is appreciated.

This was the most comprehensive explanation of the Nest I've ever seen. I've learned everything it can do. Before I viewed this, I just used it to view family photos. Thanks so much! Great job.

Thank you SO MUCH for lowering the volume when you say the trigger word!! There was an ad on KZread that used the trigger word out loud and it always made my phone freak out.

Good video and very helpful! Thank you! Question: When you cast video from phone to the nest hub from KZread, not the KZread Premium, will the ads get skipped like if you cast to Chromcast or is it basically the same as viewing on KZread with the ads? Thank you!

So, I had a 50 dollar credit on my Google account and then for being a KZread plus member for a few years they just sent me an email to get the hub for 49.99. So I will be getting the hub for the 3.24 it costs to ship it. I'm pretty excited to basically be getting this device for free. Thanks for your video it's really helpful to learn all the things I will be able to do with the hub.

Thanks! I learnt that it has easy access to the lights. Also that front door video comes automatically to the display. Handy!

Hey Bret , Thanks for the great video on the Nest Hub though I’m Surprised & Bummed that it doesn’t have a camera for 2 way video calls , do any Nest display hubs have a camera ?? Also I understand that my Vivint Security sys is compatible with Google, is the Hub display compatible??

One of the best review videos I've seen on anything, great stuff! Not into tech but you got a sub from me

This is great information. I have 2 Google Nest Hub. Can the Google Nest Hub also turn off repeating commands.

Thank you so much for explaining about Google Home Hub (I got 1st gen) and the features. It helps me understand what I can do with it. Thank you for captioning the video.

Great video, simple to understand. I have the Google Nest Hub Max, sounds a lot better. Steve, can you please show, on one of your next videos, how to tag photos a favourite - from the hub. I know how to do so via voice command however the touchscreen method (tapping screen showing a photo you want to add to favorites or even delete/remove photo from displaying) is no longer functioning. Is it a setting or has Google removed this functionality? Cheers, TonyC from Down Under

You live 24 minutes from Disneyland?? Damn that’s lucky. Great video, learnt a lot thanks

Ironically, when you started the video with a fast "Hey everyone" my Google fired up asking what I wanted 😂😂😂 must be because I'm British 🤣

This video was a huge help to assist me to set up a new Nest Hub 7 that I hope will replace my Echo Show 8, despite the fact that speakers are said to be subpar on the Hub 7. I found a decent-quality Bluetooth stereo speaker in my closet that I haven't used in years and will simply have my Hub play music on the Bluetooth speaker, if/when necessary. My Echo 8 over the years has deteriorated in its responsiveness and I am phasing out Amazon products/shopping anyhow because they have become very anti-consumer in the past year or so, which goes against everything I stand for. I am confident the Hub will do all the functions I did previously on my Echo device.

Best review I have seen on this product with a lot of helpful hints. I too would like to thank you for lowering your volume when you say "Hey Google". :)

does the assistant have the ability to set time on and time off for smart home outlets like wemo?

Omg you little girls alone made this the cutest video ever 😩🙌🏾. This video was so in depth and to the point. Thank you for this quality content.

Steve, I have read a lot of buzz on Reddit on why there is no easy Smart Button for google’s smart home. It would be great if you could solve that problem in a video as to what a work around could be (Ex. Flic with IFTTT…). An example of this is a room with lamps running off of smart outlets; a guest may not know or want to say “Hey google, turn on the lamps”, so a wireless smart button could be a good option.

Great video I have so the google hub and I wanted to know what else it can do you showed me a thing or 2 that I didnt know but I also missed a couple of things like sleep tracking,the alarm can be set with light effects but also the motion sensor for pauze videos so when you are cooking the screen dont get dirty

Hi Steve nice job i have seen your eufy cameras ones as well. can we use google hub to view all 4 eufy camera on the screen at once and have them as default for viewing

Really interesting. I've just bought one yesterday. Thanks.

Very informative video Thank you ! I'm wondering what brand of security camera can i use with it?

I have the Google Nest Hub Max and I really like it. You showed the video call option so I looked further into the Google home app and it showed that I can "Call Home " from my cell phone straight to my Google Nest Hub. Many folks would say that we can already do that with our cell phones, but my mother while in the kitchen, didn't have to pick up her phone to talk and see me when I was at my desk at work when I made the Call Home feature to my hub and showed her how I fluff up eggs and heavy cream with my wrist motion. Plus she can see the new mask that she brought me and I can see that she's wearing the new pajamas i got for her. Google has truly changed our home and it's totally going to get bigger, fast!

Would like to see how the nest hub handles home security tasks. Arming the system, notifications if someone trips the alarm (assume that I have no cameras, just door/window sensors and motion sensors), smoke/CO alarms, etc.

It does excellent with everything. I've got the whole home set with Nest products from thermostat to door locks and bells ect. It'll let you know when anything is left unlocked. It also intelligently listens to possible problems in your home...breaking glass, smoke alarms...ect. The Google home ecosystem is pretty amazing.

I just picked up a Nest Hub and in the first 5 minutes learned a bunch of neat tricks, thanks!

Very well explain and wonderful pace explanations. Thank you. I moved one of my displays to another room and just can't find how to rename it in my android phone.

Thanks, I just got myself one here in The Neterlands. We found out (well, my wife accidentaly) that when you wave your hand in front of the Nest, like about 1 meter distance of it, it pauses the music or radio station you're playing, waving again will resume it. Is a nice feature, like when you're getting a phone call. What I also noted that connected a bluetooth speaker, is a difference in time, could be a tenth of a second, in playing the music. I had a speaker on the other side of the room and heard the difference. Did you noted that too?

Great video but one question. I would like to use in my office. Can it be set up for full 30-day calendar display instead of just current date?

Thank you. Explained so clearly everything i need to know about it and I will be buying one now 😊..

Wondering if you could do a video update on everything that Google has changed and removed from this platform. Specifically, these three features, primarily the first two. 01: In their most recent update, Google has removed visual responses on Google Nest Hubs and other home products with screens. For example, if you ask it to spell a word like "dyslexia" after the update, you will only receive a minor title response for three seconds, without a visual large format response lasting for more than 30 seconds. This means you won't see the word "dyslexia" spelled out on the screen anymore. Many dyslexics, including myself, relied on this feature, and it was a significant reason for purchasing this tool, which offered a desktop spelling system with a picture frame and other features. 02: Another change in the recent update is the removal of ethernet support for the 7 and 10-inch models. Previously, there was a micro USB on the white cover of the 7-inch model that allowed you to connect a USB to ethernet adapter. This feature provided a reliable IP address with fast response and eliminated the need to reacquire an IP address. Unfortunately, this capability has been disabled in the latest update. 03: Additionally, Google has removed good quality synchronized audio in their recent update. Previously, if you used ethernet, you could synchronize all your devices, including the Mini and standard Home speakers, without signal drops or random reacquisition issues. However, with the removal of micro USB ethernet support for the 10 and 7-inch models, achieving reliable synchronization has become challenging. Now, you are limited to using Wi-Fi for all devices, which is less secure. As a result, latency has increased, affecting the quality of audio responses. The unit's response is no longer accurate, even when I am in close proximity to the device, while other units further away respond instead, causing confusion. 04: To summarize, Google has removed support for dyslexics, eliminated secure network access via ethernet, and made it difficult or impossible to achieve perfect audio synchronization with zero milliseconds delay. There may be more changes that I haven't discovered yet. 05: So, for me, my 7-inch Google Nest Hub with a screen has now become primarily a picture frame, timer, and a minor home automation visual unit. In fact, since I have a computer in front of me that can perform all of these functions, except for visual spelling and audio synchronization, the practicality of the Nest Hub has significantly diminished. Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with these changes in the comments.

The same thing we wanted to know about the recipe book - is a little difficult to add, but scared that all those recipes will get lost and can't be archived or stored anyplace.
