Disable Video Recording Settings

Disable Continued Conversation
If you did not know about this feature then you are not at fault. This Disable Continued Conversation allows Google to listen to the question without us having to say “Hello Google”. Disabling this feature helps in maintaining privacy when you do not ask questions from Google but from another person.
-
Disable “Hey Google” Sensitivity
“Hey Google” is the opening statement which allows the virtual assistant to be active for use. If you activate your Google Home speakers or devices by default then you need to lower the sensitivity level so that it does not take every word as “wake word” and do not respond to active use every time you utter a word.

Disable Camera Settings
When you are not making any video call through your Google powered devices then you need or wish to disable camera settings. An indicator light shows off the status of camera but there’s still an option to disable it. So you need not remember to switch it on and off manually.
So all in all these selective features are no good for you today and as an active user you should say goodbye them from Google Assistant for good
