The Google Nest Hub Max is a smart assistant with a large 10” screen. Smart assistant devices are designed to answer questions and perform tasks using your voice. One of the great features of the Google Nest Hub Max is that it allows you to make video calls to your loved ones. Video calls allow you to see the person you are talking to, no matter where you are in the world! During this lesson we will take you through the steps on how to start a video call using two apps: Google Duo and Zoom.

If you would like to use touch controls to start a video call, here’s how you can do that:

Step 1: Using the touch screen, swipe from right to left to the page titled Communicate.

Step 2: Tap on the option titled Household Contacts. Once you find the person you would like to call, tap on the video camera icon next to the person’s name. The device will then start dialing.
