My nest hub keeps showing "camera feed not available" after a few minutes no matter what I do. I have reset my router, unplugged the hub, force stop the app, synchronized all devices. This has been happening for over a year. The camera will stay on a little longer by using the voice command but then goes back to "camera feed not available". My internet connection is good and my hub is close to my router.

I have this problem as well, it started a couple of weeks ago, it's on all of my hubs and with all of my cameras.

I have tried everything to resolve it but I can't.

Same. Something has happened Google side to cause this. We use nest cams as baby monitors and stream them all night to two hubs. They been perfect for 18 months, now for last two weeks they are dropping the feed every 30 mins making them redundant for the purpose we use them for.

Same here, I monitor my cameras at my desk with the Hub, but just recently it keeps disconnecting. 😞

Exact same problem here. We’ve had 5 Nest cameras up and running for over a year, one being used as a baby monitor. We’d occasionally run into the “camera feed is not available”, “camera is not turned on”, “camera is offline” error messages but for the most part they worked pretty well. But as of a few weeks ago they’ve become totally unreliable. My wife goes nuts each time she logs in and can’t see the baby. The indoor camera in the nursery is by far the least reliable now. No changes had been made to our home networking set up before this started happening. Resetting the router, uninstalling/reinstalling the cameras , downgrading video quality doesn’t fix it. The issue might have coincided with the latest Nest/Google Home app update but not sure. What gives?

same issue to us. both with a nest camera, an imou ranger and an ezviz camera.
Sometimes it happens that only audio shows up (even thought nest hub says that the streaming is live); most of the times it just gives error.

Is there a Google moderator out there that can respond to this? I’ve noticed some of the graphics have changed recently when loading, it says Live in the top-left corner now etc. Seems like my connection issues (which have been really bad for over a month now) coincided with these updates

I'm having the same issue. Worked fine for months, then recently the feed from my Nest camera, displayed on the Nest Hub, drops for good, and displays "Camera feed is not available." But it is, as verified on my phone's Nest app, or by manually asking the hub to display the same camera feed again.

Same issue here with a Cubo baby monitor - “camera feed is not available” but works if requested again. Sad as makes this very unreliable solution as a baby monitor. Works fine with Alexa Show

Google, please fix this issue! I am also using as a baby monitor and the camera feed on the nest hub constantly disconnects making it useless. It works fine on my android phones so it is a problem with the nest hub. It is ridiculous that this is not being addressed as it has been months!

Anyone find a solve? This is a real problem for those of us trying to stream camera feeds for use as a baby monitor.

Still no fix. Is it possible that it's an internet issue? I have 200/200 mbps with 4 hubs, 3 minis, 4 cameras and a lot of other devices (~60) connected to a netgear R7800. Can someone with gigabit internet confirm whether they also have this issue?

I gave up on Google Nest Hub. BAD. PRODUCT.PERIOD. With no after sale support from google. I ended up using one of my older phone as a camera. It works flawlessly. Not buying any google more products ever. BTW all support is from India these days. Good luck with that too.

Re: Why does Google nest hub keep showing "camera feed not available"?

modoggs11 — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 21:15:22 GMT

I tried lowering the resolution on all of my cameras a couple times before and it didn't make a difference.
