I have a new Nest Hub Max, and I'm experiencing the same issue. I bought the unit specifically to attend Zoom meetings, but the app keeps crashing within a minute of starting; either 'hmmm...something went wrong', or the hub goes black screen and then resets. Duo/Meet calls work fine.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for bringing this up.

We're sorry to hear about what you're experiencing right now with your Google Nest Hub Max when using Zoom. Could you tell us if you're getting any prompts on the screen aside from the display that keeps on crashing? Also, have you tried performing a complete reset on your speakers? If not, you can follow the steps on this link and let's set it up again.

As soon as you're done setting it up, try using Zoom and see if this would make any difference. Keep us posted.

Best,

Princess

Hi Princess,

Thanks for the response.

Yes, I did try a 'restore factory defaults' -- at least half a dozen times in fact. And no, after the Zoom app begins to run, I did not see any screen prompts. What I saw was either:

- the unit saying 'hmmm, something went wrong' and returning to the default wallpaper OR....

- screen going black for about 2-5 seconds, then the usual sequence associated with a device reset.

For me, this was not hard to reproduce -- it misbehaved every time. And like the Pawkey stated, I was connecting to a zoom meeting with a a zoom ID number (not using a zoom account, if that matters).

I must tell you however, I will no long be able to do any testing for you. I purchased the unit principally to attend zoom meetings,and given it was not working for me for that purpose, I returned the unit. But perhaps PawKey or someone else can help with the testing -- I doubt we are the only 2 experiencing this issue.

Hi folks,

Thanks for sharing some steps. Could you please provide the cast firmware version of your Google Nest displays?

To check which firmware version you're on, follow these steps:

Open the Google Home app .
Touch and hold your device's tile.
Tap Settings Device information.
Under "Technical information," check for Cast firmware: "X.XXX.XXXXX." If the device is on Fuchsia, check for System firmware version: "X.XXXXXXXX.X.XXXXXXX"

Looking forward to your response.

Best,

Princess

As I posted above, I no longer have the unit so I can't check this for you. If it helps, it's a unit I bought new less than a month ago, and one of the first things the hub did once connected to my network, was to do a unit update.

It would be a shame if this thread were closed/locked without a resolution. I noticed there is another thread called 'Zoom crashes hub Max' that suffered that fate, and I'd bet this is the same issue.
