Issue moving a YouTube videos between Nest Hubs: got confused with Nest Mini

[111001010101111]

I was casting a YouTube video to a Next Hub 2nd gen in Room A. 

I say to it, "Hey Google, move to <name of a Next Hub 2nd gen in Room B>."

A nearby Nest Mini heard me, and gave search results. 

Google Home seemed to think that since I was playing a video on the display I was directly in front of and speaking to, it would use a nearby Nest Mini.

But the Mini was further away, so it's possible it didn't hear all of the command. 

I had to repeat:

"Hey Google, move to <name of a Next Hub 2nd gen in Room B>."

Then the Nest Hub understood, and replied:

Okay, I'll play it on <name of Next Hub 2nd gen in Room B>

This is one of many examples I have every day where, in trying to be smart, it does stupid things.

I wish it would listen to me, instead of trying to be smart all the time. Because it sucks at being smart in most situations.

Also, while issuing a command to Assistant while a YouTube video is playing, videos play in the background instead of pausing. They should pause when interacting with Assistant, like music does.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. You can adjust the Google assistant sensitivity for your speakers and displays and observe if this will make a difference. Check out the steps below for guidance: 

1. Open the Google Home app .
2. At the bottom, tap Home .
3. Touch and hold your speaker or Smart Display.
4. At the top right, tap Device settings Audio “Hey Google” sensitivity.
5. Choose how sensitive you want Google Assistant to be when it responds to you.
   • To change this setting on another device, tap Adjust more devices.

About the video that keeps playing in the background when Google Assistant is engaged, this is working as intended. We're always looking for ways to improve and add more features. Keep an eye out for news and updates.

Regards,

Juni
