How to join meetings

To join a meeting, use the Nest Hub Max interface or voice commands.
Note:

Nest Hub Max displays the calendar associated with the Google account linked to your Nest Hub Max, not the one associated with the Zoom account linked.

Using the Zoom interface, you can join a meeting:

1. From the home screen, swipe to the right until you reach the Communicate screen.
2. Choose one of the meeting options and tap Start Zoom Meeting.

Use the following commands to join a Zoom meeting:

1. I want you to join my next meeting, Google.
2. I will add you to my next Zoom meeting.
3. You can also say “Ok Google, join the meeting”.
4. This will prompt you to choose which service you wish to use. Choose Zoom.

Closing the Zoom App:

1. You can close the join screen from the right if you change your mind before joining a meeting.
2. The meeting host will need to let you in if you enter a waiting room while joining a meeting. You can leave by saying “Hey Google, exit Zoom” if this does not happen.

Google Assistant app

It will gather meeting information from Zoom Meetings you start if you have the Google Assistant app. If you want to invite others, you can ask the app to send them this information.
