    I use it as a clock that I can watch YouTube on, would probably go for the bigger one if I were to do it over. Feels a little slower than my smart speaker.

    It’s a google product which means they are collecting data on you, aside from that it’s ok. Very little customization, I wanted to use this for work where I could have my agenda on it but you only have the option to put a picture screensaver or the time… meh

    It's a little smaller than I thought and UI seems laggy. I honestly don't use the touchscreen and even for viewing but for the on sale price, I can't complain. I hate the large white bezel. I would recommend but only if its on sale.

    Please be aware that this does not have a camera so no video call. Anytime we tapped an app like Netflix it would say it didn’t know where I wanted it to play it. Geek squad came and they couldn’t figure it out either. We had 2 and they both did that.

      Hi Joeg2112, we really appreciate your feedback on Nest Hub (2nd gen), and we’re sorry to hear your experience is less than ideal.

      Your Nest display could be having trouble connecting to Google, and you can try these simple steps below that might help:
      - Check your Wi-Fi network for possible congestion. Relieving some of your connected devices may help free up some bandwidth space.
      - Check the distance between the Nest display and your router. Ensure that it is within a line of sight from your router.
      - Check for wireless interference with other Wi-Fi hotspots or appliances and devices nearby.
      - Restart Nest display and router to refresh the connection.
      - Reset your Nest display. On the back of Nest Hub, press and hold both volume buttons together for about 10 seconds. Your Nest Hub will let you know that it's resetting.

      Retraining your Nest Mini, to better recognize your voice, and adjusting the Hotword sensitivity may be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps on these help articles:
      - Check which devices are using Voice Match: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7588195
      - Adjust how sensitive Google Assistant is to “Hey Google: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9712065

      Also, you can play music that's stored on your mobile device (phone or tablet) or computer on your Google Nest or Home speaker or display using Bluetooth. This includes music downloaded from iTunes, Audible, Apple Music, and personal playlists. You can even stream music that plays on your Google Nest or Home speaker or display to your favorite Bluetooth speakers or headphones.

      Play music on your speaker or display using Bluetooth: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7381505
      Play music on Bluetooth speakers or headphones: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7672356

      We’d be happy to share your feedback, about having a jack to hook an external speaker, with the right team for future improvements. And for questions or concerns, visit us anytime at: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
