Voice command to answer Google Doorbell Battery on Hub Max

What is the voice command on Hub Max  to answer the Google doorbell when somebody pushes the bell button? 

I say, “Hey Google, stream/show me front door”,  and it shows me the front door and I can hear the other person speak.  But the person  cannot hear me.

How do I activate the microphone on the doorbell via the Hub Max  so that they can hear me, and we can have a two way talk? 
I can do this on the phone, Google home app, but I want to be able to do it using the hub Max device please.
thanks

I'm not aware of any voice command to answer a Nest doorbell. However, when someone rings our Nest Hello doorbells, our Nest Hubs announce someone's at the door, display the video stream, and display a microphone that allows us to talk to the person at the door.  (We have "Visitor announcements" enabled on each doorbell.) The same thing happens if we say "Hey Google, show me the front door".

Hi, thanks for the reply. I understand the microphone is displayed on the screen, but you have to literally go to the screen and touch it to activate it. I want hands-free activation. As I am blind, so, I want to be able to ask Google hub Max to activate the microphone so I can speak to the other person wherever I am in the house. The hub Max is not easily reachable as it’s behind the couch. If there is no voice command, than that it is really disappointing  😞 thanks for your response I appreciate it

Hey folks,

 

Talking to the Google Nest Hub Max when someone rings your Nest doorbell isn't supported. You can only show or stream your camera to the Nest Hub Max. We're always looking for ways to improve and we appreciate your feedback. Should you still need our help please let me know, otherwise I'll be locking this thread after 24 hours. 

 

Kind Regards, 

Alex
