"Ok google" function not working on my s8?

[Android Central Question]

I own a galaxy S8 and i'm on Nova launcher.
I'm trying to get the "ok google" function to work on my phone but i'm having difficulty. I have the google assistant and it works when I click the button... but how do i get it to respond to my voice?

Settings > Google > search > voice > voice match> toggle on "say ok Google anytime"

If you are using Nova launcher, beyond what Mary Beth said, I believe there is also a specific setting for it in the Nova settings as well.
