You currently can't unfortunately. When someone becomes a member of your home, they have the same level of access as you do as the owner.

Blows my mind that they wouldn’t allow these settings to be made. I would like to have my kids review the cameras but not mess with the settings. Would be great for them to be able to see whose at the door without opening it first.

Hey eericksen,

 

Other members of your household can still view your camera even if they're not a home member. They can simply ask your Google Nest Hub to show your camera. No settings will be changed on your Google Home app. Check this guide for more information.

 

Best,

Say “Hey Google, add [name] to household contacts.” Or, add household contacts from the Google Home app or on your display.

Google Home app

  1. Open the Google Home app.
  2. At the top right, tap your name or initials > Assistant settings > You > Your people.
  3. Tap the person you want to add to your household contacts.
  4. If the person isn’t listed, tap Add Person and follow the on-screen instructions.
  5. Turn on Household contact.
  6. Tap Save.

On your display

  1. On the “Household contacts” card, tap Add household contacts. If you don’t find this option, at the top of the card, tap More > Select the people you want to add to your household contacts.
  2. Tap Done.
