Abstract
In one aspect, a network microphone device includes a plurality of microphones and is configured to capture a voice input via the one or more microphones, detect a wake word in the voice input, transmit data associated with the voice input to one or more remote computing devices associated with a voice assistant service, and receive a response from the one or more remote computing devices, the response comprising a playback command based on the voice input. The network microphone device may be configured to obtain verification information characterizing the voice input and, based on the verification information indicating that the voice input was spoken by an unverified user, functionally disable the NMD from performing the playback command.
