The feature is called Face Match, that Google says the device processes facial data locally and does not upload it to the cloud." "You can also use the Nest Hub Max to make video calls, like other smart displays with Amazon Alexa. (Google's device uses Duo for those calls.) Google says you'll always know when the camera is on when the light is lit in green. " "To stop the Nest Hub Max from playing audio, video, or from speaking, you can also just raise your hand to end whatever it's doing."
