1. A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
for each of a plurality of automated assistant devices in an environment that are each executing at least one automated assistant, determining, by a client device, an active capability of the automated assistant device, wherein the determining the active capability of the automated assistant device comprises determining whether or not the automated assistant device is currently performing open-ended automatic speech recognition, and wherein currently performing the open-ended automatic speech recognition comprises the automated assistant device being in a state in which speech is currently being recognized using a speech recognition model rather than only detecting one or more hotwords using a hotword detection model;
initiating, by an automated assistant executing at least in part on the client device, playback of digital media;
in response to initiating playback, the client device processing the digital media to identify, based on the active capability of at least one of the plurality of automated assistant devices in the environment comprising currently performing the open-ended automatic speech recognition, an audio segment in the digital media, wherein the audio segment is identified based on the audio segment being expected, upon playback, to trigger activation of at least one automated assistant executing on the at least one of the plurality of automated assistant devices, based on the at least one of the plurality of automated assistant devices being in the state in which speech is currently being recognized using the speech recognition model rather than only detecting the one or more hotwords using the hotword detection model; and
in response to identifying the audio segment in the digital media, the client device modifying the digital media to suppress the activation of the at least one automated assistant executing on the at least one of the plurality of automated assistant devices in the environment.
