  • QuestionCan it be used as an e reader?

    Asked by Cindy.

    • Answer I believe so, but with the Nest Hub having to be connected to power all the time you have to read your ebooks where it's plugged in. The Nest Hub doesn't have a rechargeable battery or a battery in it that I know of and it's bulky too. That being said it would be hard to carry it around like a phone and or tablet. Hope this helps, sorry so late for the response.

  • Questioncan it be used as the same way as the facebook portal?

    Asked by help.

    • Answer The one limitation that this would have compared to a Facebook Portal would be that it does not have a camera, so you can talk to others, and you can see them, but they cannot see you. The next level up- the Google Hub Max- it would have a camera.

  • QuestionHi, Is google nest compatible with the Ring Doorbell?

    Asked by SuzieQ.

    • Answer Kind off. Google can talk to the Ring but you cannot stream the video to your Google home hub. Here is an answer that was posted July 2019 on Google support site. Its a shame that it does not work. Amazon wants you to buy their hub to stream the video. I'll stick with viewing it on my phone. May see if I can add the app to my Android TV. Stay tuned. Hey folks, I wanted to provide some clarification here. Ring is currently supported by asking the Assistant to talk to Ring. Take a look at this link for the different queries that are currently supported. For users interested in streaming video, this is currently not a supported feature. I apologize for any confusion here and I'll also make a note of the feedback on this thread. Thanks, Rachel

  • QuestionCan you watch netflix on this?

    Asked by steph.

    • Answer Yes. I like watching a movie on this hub. Its a little small but bigger than my cell phone. To watch Netflix on the Google Home Hub, all you need to do is add the app and set it up. The process is very straightforward and will obviously need a Netflix subscription to work. Launch the Google Home app on your phone. Select Menu and Google Assistant. Select More Settings and Services. Select Videos and Photos. Select the Netflix app and select Link. Enter your Netflix account details where prompted and select Link again. You should now be able to watch your movies and TV shows on the Google Home Hub. You can set it up to use voice commands too if you like. For example, ‘OK Google, play Stranger Things’ on TV’ or ‘OK Google, play next episode’. There are a bunch of voice commands you can use depending on what you want to achieve.
