Absolutely ridiculous you can't run all cameras in one account through the Nest App. What a ###### design! In the Nest App for any other camera I have you can see the thumbnails live. But no, add the expensive floodlight camera and you'll be stuck using the boring Google Home Interface and flipping back and forth. Fix this Google!!!!

We found out the same thing when we bought a battery camera in Sept. 2021. We've been using 2 apps ever since.

I don't think Google Nest is going to fix it. They are instead gradually allowing us to "transfer" our 1st gen cameras from the Google Nest app to the beta "Public Preview" version of the Google Home app (https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Blog/Nest-Cam-Outdoor-1st-gen-expanded-support-rolling-out-into-Public-Preview/ba-p/550636). We haven't done so because we're not using the "Public Preview" version, our Google Nest Hello Doorbells cannot be transferred (nor can the IQ cameras), and the Google Home app lacks so many Nest app functions (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/13038234#zippy=%2Cnest-app-only-features; the list does not include all the missing functions).
