Though nothing compared to smartphones, a few categories of consumer electronics products have caused such a surge in recent years as smart speakers. These small machines allow us to listen to music, interact with other household items or answer questions quickly.
Google is one of the most investing companies in this market, and it does this not only by updating their products, but by promoting them with functions that many are not yet familiar with.
One of them is that it is possible to make calls through speakers, using Google Duo. And we already have it in Spain.
How to make phone calls from Google Home
The first thing we must do is make sure that the phones we make will be mobile, but using a specific program, the Google Duo. Many of the edges they have are pre-installed as normal but if not, we will have to download them. The phone number will be required to receive an SMS, either phones will be free of Wifi. It is expected that soon you will not need a phone number to use Google Duo.

Once that is done on mobile we must register with our Gmail account, and configure it for our speakers. For this you must:
- Open the app Google Home.
- Click Settings.
- Let's Voice and video calls.
- Click Voice and video requests.
- Enabling the speaker with which we want to strike.
If we want to limit the loudspeaker to allow this service we must:
- Open the app Google Home.
- Click on the speaker we want to use to drive.
- Click on gear icon from the top right corner.
- Let's go to the section More and then we choose Duo's call.
- Click Unlink Duo from this device.
Required voice commands
Obviously, orders to the speakers will be by voice, so we'll have to ask to call someone.
- * OK Google, call Juan Pérez »
If we define a contact correctly, the system will give us a list and we must specify the complete name of the person we want to talk to.
To complete we will also need a command, in this case:
- OK Google, turn off the phone.
