Yes, Google Home Assistant can work with Zoom calls, but only through compatible smart displays like the Google Nest Hub Max or by integrating third-party devices that support Zoom.

While Google Assistant doesn’t natively host Zoom, these integrations make joining and managing calls easier.

Here’s how to set up and use Google Home Assistant with Zoom calls.

To use Zoom with Google Home Assistant, you’ll need a smart display or device that supports both Google Assistant and Zoom.

Compatible Devices:

   • Natively supports video calling, including Zoom (requires setup).
2. Chromecast-Enabled TV
   • Cast Zoom meetings from your phone or laptop to a TV with Chromecast.
3. Third-Party Smart Displays
   • Some Lenovo and JBL smart displays that work with Google Assistant also support Zoom.

Step 2: Set Up Zoom on a Smart Display

For Google Nest Hub Max:

1. Update Your Device
   • Ensure your Nest Hub Max is running the latest firmware version.
2. Link Zoom to Your Google Account
   • Open the Google Home app.

2. Start a Zoom Call
   • Launch Zoom on your phone or laptop and join a meeting.
