Make Calls to Speakers and Displays
With the Google Duo now linked to your account, it is very easy now to call speakers and the smart displays in your home.
When making use of a Google Assistant speaker or a smart display, just say:
“Hey Google, call living room speaker.”
Or “Hey Google, video call kitchen display.”
These same commands can work from an iPhone, iPad, or an Android phone or even a tablet. Simply launch your Google Assistant and then you say the same commands.
“Hey Google, call playroom speaker.”
Or “Hey Google, call office display.”
If you are calling a smart display from your smart phone, it will automatically default to a video call. You can put off the video when the call starts or, alternatively, you can just make use of the command, “Hey Google, audio call office display,” to specify simply from the start.
When the call starts ringing in the speaker or the smart display, someone on the other end region will need to say, “Hey Google, answer the call.” You now will be having a two way conversation!
