How to join meetings

Use voice commands or the Nest Hub Max interface to join a meeting.

To join a Zoom meeting via the interface:

1. Swipe from the right of the home screen until you reach the Communicate screen.
2. Tap Start a Zoom Meeting and then choose one of the options.

To join a Zoom meeting using verbal commands:

1. Say "Ok Google, join my next Meeting". 
2. This will join the next zoom meeting on your calendar
3. Alternatively, say "Ok Google, join a meeting".
4. This will prompt you to select which service to start. Select Zoom. 

Closing the Zoom App:

1. If you choose to join a meeting but change your mind before joining, swipe from the right to close the join screen. 
2. If you join a meeting and enter a waiting room, the meeting host will need to let you in. If you wait and this does not happen, say "Hey Google, exit Zoom" to leave.

Google Assistant app

If you have the Google Assistant app, it will gather the meeting information of Zoom Meetings you start. You can ask the app to send this information to others if you want to invite them to join.
