Microphones

Nest Hub Max uses built-in microphones so you can ask the Google Assistant for help using just your voice. Audio is only sent to Google when Nest Hub Max detects that you’re asking the Assistant for help, such as when you say, “Hey Google”, or if you use a feature that needs it (for example, Duo video calling). You’ll see a visual indicator on the front of Nest Hub Max when this happens. You can review and delete your query data whenever you like at myactivity.google.com.

Camera

Nest Hub Max also has a built-in camera for features like video calling and home monitoring. You’re in control of which camera features you turn on. Whenever your camera sends video to Google, you’ll see a green light on the front of Nest Hub Max.

As Google adds new features to make your Nest Hub Max even more helpful, you’ll be in full control. Any new features that use the camera or microphones and send audio or video to Google will be off until you choose to turn them on.

Mic + camera switch: How to turn off the mics and camera.

To physically turn off the microphones, camera, and the features that rely on input from them, slide the switch on the back of Nest Hub Max.

When the camera and mics are turned off, you’ll see an orange light on the front of Nest Hub Max. To turn everything back on, you’ll need to slide the switch back.

How to turn off the camera only.

To turn off just the camera, swipe up from the bottom of the screen on Nest Hub Max and tap the camera icon. You’ll always see an indicator on the screen when the camera is turned off. You can still talk to your Assistant, but the camera and features that rely on it will remain off.

If the promotional purchase amount is not paid in full within the applicable promotional period, interest will be charged to your account from the purchase date and your total payments will be greater than the amount of the promotional purchase amount.


* The amount of a single transaction regular purchase is determined before taxes and shipping are added to the purchase and before any discounts are applied.

No interest will be assessed on the promotional purchase balance (including shipping and taxes) if you pay the promotional purchase balance in full within the applicable 6 month promotional period.

If you do not, interest will be assessed on the promotional purchase balance from the date of the purchase.

Depending on the purchase amount and payment allocation, the required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the purchase by the end of the promotional period. Standard account terms apply to non promotional purchases and, after this promotion ends, to your promotional purchase. For new accounts: Phone purchases (any transaction that includes a phone) APR is 0.00%. All other (regular) purchases, APR is 29.99%. Minimum interest charge is $2. Existing account holders should see their credit card account agreement for their applicable terms. Subject to credit approval.
