Showing Live Camera Feed on Smart Display

mb771 — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 17:08:04 GMT

trying to get my camera feed setup so I can view on my smart display in kitchen, but its proving difficult.
Before I could just right click and copy the URL and it worked fine - but new camera that option is very hard to find.

Unfortunately, the 2nd gen Google Nest cameras and doorbells that get installed in the Google Home app do NOT have the ability to share their video stream with a public or private link:

If your smart display is a Nest Hub or Nest Hub Max that is in the same Google Nest "home/structure" on the same Google Account, you should be able to access your camera's livestream by selecting your camera.

That’s really unfortunate - I just installed 2 new floodlight cams and a camera with the intent of displaying them like the old one 😕 why remove features? Not. Happy customer right now

There are numerous other Nest app features that are missing in 2nd gen cameras and doorbells:

So we're still using the Google Nest app for all of our 1st gen cameras and doorbells.
