SPEAKER 1: Google Assistant Accessibility videos.
Make calls on Google home.
KIRAN KAJA: I am Kiran Kaja, and I am the Accessibility
Lead for Search and Assistant.
With hands-free calling on Google Home,
you can call friends, family, and businesses
all by using your voice.
This functionality is available in the US, Canada, and UK,
excluding the territories, and it's
available in English and French.
This is a quick and easy way for everyone,
including users with disabilities,
to keep in touch with friends and family or call businesses.
I'm blind myself, and I find this feature very useful.
I don't have to fiddle with the touchscreen on my mobile phone
to make a phone call.
It's as simple as, OK, Google.
[BEEP] Call Jamie.
GOOGLE HOME: Calling Jamie.
JAMIE: Hi, this is Jamie.
KIRAN KAJA: Hi, Jamie.
This is Kiran.
How are you?
JAMIE: Hey, Kiran.
I'm great.
How are you?
KIRAN KAJA: I'm great, too.
I'm calling you from my Google Home today.
JAMIE: Oh, that's neat.
KIRAN KAJA: Yeah, it works great.
I guess I'll let you get back to work now.
JAMIE: OK.
I'll talk to you soon.
KIRAN KAJA: OK.
Bye.
JAMIE: Bye.
KIRAN KAJA: OK, Google, [BEEP] hangup.
As you've noticed, I used my voice to hang up the call.
But you can also tap the top of the Google Home
to hang up as well.
You can also dial numbers directly as well as
call numbers that require you to go through a menu.
Let me show you how it works.
OK, Google, [BEEP] call Googleplex.
GOOGLE HOME: Calling Googleplex.
[PHONE RINGING]
SPEAKER: Hi.
Welcome to the Googleplex.
To help you get to the right area of Google,
first, if you're calling about Google services
for your business, press 1.
Otherwise, press 2.
KIRAN KAJA: Hey, Google, [BEEP] press 2.
[BEEP]
SPEAKER: Google.
First, thanks.
Now, if you're calling because you can't get into your Gmail
account, press 1.
KIRAN KAJA: OK, Google, hang up.
