Use Video Calling Feature on Smart Displays

Google Nest Hub or Other Assistant-enabled Smart Displays

One can make and receive calls on Google Assistant-powered Smart Displays if both the parties have Duo video calling. So, download the Google Duo app on your phone and register your phone number. Thereafter, follow the steps below to set up video calling. 1] Download and install the Google Home app on your device if not already. 2] Open the app and tap Home at the bottom. 3] Select your Smart Display from the list of available devices. 4] Click on Settings on the top right corner to open device settings. 5] Scroll down to the More section and tap the Duo Calling option. 6] Click on Continue and follow the on-screen instructions to setup Duo video calling on your device. Within a few minutes, your smart display will be ready to make video calls through Duo. To make a video call, simply ask “Hey Google, video call ” or “Call on Duo,” for example- “Hey Google, call Mom.” Just make sure that the person you’d call is present in the contact list. To disconnect, you can either command “End the call” or manually tap the hang-up button on the screen. 1] Open the Alexa app on your smartphone. 2] Click on the chat bubble icon given at the bottom left corner, besides the Home button. It will take you to the Calling & Messaging section. 3] Here, grant permission to access your contacts and verify your phone number for calls. That’s it. You can now make calls through Alexa by simply asking it to call one of your contacts; for example- “Alexa, call Dad.” If the other party doesn’t have an Echo device, then it will either connect through the Alexa app or dial the contact’s phone number. You can also make calls directly from within the Alexa app.
