Hello everyone, is there a way to make phone calls remotely to Google Nest so that the conversation is activated automatically without the interlocutor giving consent to receive the call? I would need this function as the elderly person who has to receive the phone call is unable to move.

Hi CODICEZERO,

No you can not enable speakers or displays to auto answer calls.

If you own the Google Nest Hub Max or a Nest camera then you can use your phone to view the live video and also communicate through the speakers and microphones without any other input.

Have a look at the Google Nest help center link below.

so using the Nest Hub Max, if for example I call my father, who unfortunately cannot move his arms and hands, does the call start automatically? Without him moving a finger?

The Nest Hub Max has a built-in camera and microphone. When set up with the Google home app on your phone you would be able to view the live video and also talk and listen through the Nest Hub Max without the need for your father to do anything.

Voice and video calls would require either touch input or a voice command "answer call" to answer.
