How to turn off microphone on Google Nest Mini

 

Turning Off the Microphone on Google Nest Mini

 

  • Locate your Google Nest Mini device. It is the small, round speaker with fabric covering on top.

    •  

  • Find the microphone switch. It is a small toggle switch located on the side of the device. It should be towards the bottom edge when the device is placed upright.

    •  

  • Toggle the microphone switch to turn off the microphone. Slide the switch to the off position. You will see the orange light illuminate on the top of the Nest Mini, indicating that the microphone is now off.

Reasons to Turn Off the Microphone

 

  • Privacy Concerns: You may want to ensure that the device is not listening to any background conversations.

    •  

  • Environmental Noise: If you're in a noisy area, turning off the microphone can prevent unnecessary voice activations.

    •  

  • Conserving Power: Although minimal, you might want to conserve power by disabling the microphone when not in use.

    •  

 

Turning the Microphone Back On

 

  • To enable the microphone again, simply slide the switch back to its original position. The orange light will turn off, indicating the microphone is on and ready to listen for commands.
