Hi Arfanvlk,

Chiming in to ensure everything is covered here. Please note that you can only activate or communicate with your Nest Mini by saying, "Hey Google" or "Okay Google." followed by the question or command that you want to say. 

Here's a link that will be helpful to you: 

• Google Nest speakers and displays
• Features

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Muddi
