Recommendation cards
If you have personal results enabled, your Nest Display may show you cards with recommendations for content to watch, based on your viewing habits.
If Face Match is enabled, members of your household may find different recommendations when they approach the Nest display. Face Match doesn’t need to be on in order to get recommendation cards, but the recommendations will be more tailored to individual household members.
To watch a recommended show, tap on it.
