Google Nest Cameras not casting

HS123 — Sun, 12 Sep 2021 12:39:00 GMT

I've just bought 2 new Google cameras, doorbell, and a home display. I also have a Chromecast.

I am able to view the kitchen display on Chromecast, but not the doorbell or cameras. I receive the message 'does not support streaming to remote screans'. They are on the same WiFi network, any ideas on how to fix?

Hey there HS123,

I apologize about the late response, thank you for your patience! Were you able to figure out that casting issue? If not, I'd be happy to help out, let me just ask you some questions about what's happening:

When did this issue start happening?
What type of Chromecast do you have?
Are your doorbells and cameras wired or battery powered?

According to this article on streaming your camera feed, Nest Cam (battery) and Nest Doorbell (battery) can only stream to a smart display screen, which Chromecast is not considered.

I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know!

Best regards,

Jeran

Many thanks, its brand new and will not cast. Chomecast is also the most recent version. The doorbell and outdoor camera are battery, then we have one camera indoors too. None will cast.

Many thanks

Of course! With your Nest Cam and your Nest Doorbell being the battery powered version, unfortunately those versions are currently unable to stream to Chromecast. They can only stream to a smart display screen such as a Google Nest Hub.

Thank you,

Jeran
