As you now know, Google Home calling is beginning to roll out and, if it hasn’t already, should be available on your devices within a week. Even though making Google Home calls to friends, family, and strange businesses after a night of drinking may sound like fun, I’m sure you also have some questions. We’ll attempt to address as many in this post, with a little assistance from Google.

It’s very much a private Assistant session that ends when Google provides the information you want.
Not all Google Assistant functionalities are available while on a call. The following items won’t function when on a Google Home call:
Listen to podcasts, music, or the news.
