The traditional switch-off device will make the camera and microphones on the Nest Hub Max completely disconnected. In addition, users can disable the camera entirely if you want absolute privacy.

The renaming of the original Home Hub into Nest Hub is part of the brand merging process of Nest and Google Home. Products launched since later will be named as Google Nest Hub.
