Voice command to answer Google Doorbell Battery on Nest Hub Display (2nd generation)

[Rahulm]

What voice command can I use to activate the microphone on the Google doorbell via the Nest Hub Display (2nd generation) so the person outside can hear me, and we can have a two-way talk? I am aware of touching the microphone icon on Hub Display; however, I am physically disabled and want hands-free activation.

I have never found a way to do that.  If you find one please return here and let us know.

Hi  Rahulm,

Thanks for reaching out to the community! I understand you'd like to activate the microphone on your Google Nest Doorbell (battery) through your Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) using voice commands, for hands-free two-way talk, instead of touching the microphone icon. 

The "Talk and Listen" feature on your Google Nest Doorbell (battery) allows you to communicate with whoever is at your door through your Google Nest Hub (2nd gen)

While a fully hands free activation of the " Talk and Listen" feature is not available at this time, you can try the following steps I've found related to your request: 

• Open the Home app.
• Tap and hold your device's tile.
• Tap the microphone Talk icon. If the camera is off, tap Turn on.
• The camera will chime on the other end. This lets the person in front of the camera know you're about to say something. Now you can start conversing.
• To hang up, tap the microphone Talk icon. The camera will chime a second time on the other end, letting the other person know the conversation has concluded.

Please let me know how it goes. 

Best regards,
Juan

Thanks for your response. I understand the steps you provided, but unfortunately, I'm physically unable to use my hands, so they aren't helpful in my case.

Over two years ago, I shared my thoughts with them, assuming by now they would have implemented them. Apparently, that hasn't happened.
