I am not asking for changing anything. I of course do know I can use Okay Google - this dumb answer from Insignia is ridiculous - I don't need the replacement for a feature but want to ask about that feature and nothing else. Hold Circle for Hot Word is the term introduced in manual. Call it TAP TO SPEAK if you wish. So, WHY it needs 5 sec instead of e.g. 2 ? WHY don't lights go on (after pressing for 5 sec) to tell me it's listening ?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi! You can always talk to your speaker as long as it's not on Mute. Holding the + and - icons for a couple seconds can enable/disable this function. You can always call us at 877-467-4289 for additional support. Alexander - Insignia Support
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The "hot word" for this device is "Hey Google". There is no way to change the hot word on any Google Assistant driven device. There was a new feature released by Google called "Continued Conversations" where after saying "Hey Google" you can follow up later with "Also, dim the lights in the house" or whatever you want. To stop the speaker from listening for repeated or follow up conversations or commands you can say "thank you" or "stop" and it will quit listening. According to the user manual holding the circle button itself for 4 seconds activates the Google Assistant it doesn't change anything. It just starts listening for you to say something.
