cannot stream my nest camera to my vizio tv

[pcirwin]

 I have nest outdoor wired cameras, 1 nest camera with motion lights, 1 nest doorbell with camera. I have the nest app on my Iphone, I also have the google home app on my Iphone. I have a chromecast device 3rd gen or older connected to my vizio tv. For a month and a half now I cannot stream my nest camera to my tv. I read somewhere to migrate my nest cameras to my google home app. I have tried to do that, but I do not have a transfer tab in my Nest app nor my Google home app. I also have the Google Assistant app. When I tell the assistant to stream Front yard to Living room tv. It tells me Sorry I don't understand. Can someone please contact me with a solution?

Hi pcirwin,

Thanks for reaching out to our community.

I’m sorry to hear that for a month and a half you cannot stream your Nest cameras to your Vizio TV. No worries, help is here. 

Before I start further troubleshooting, let me ask you a few questions:

• Is your Google Home app updated?
• Did you factory reset the Chromecast?
• Are you getting any error messages after performing the factory reset or during the setup process?
• How far from the router is the failing Chromecast device?
• Is the chromecast 3rd gen firmware updated?
• Are your cameras visible on the Google Home app or Nest app?
• Are you using the Nest app to control your cameras?
• What have you done to resolve the inconvenience?
• Are your cameras added to your Google account?

Regarding your inquiry about migrating your Nest cameras to your Google Home app, I can inform you that if you migrate your Nest account to a Google account, your experience of your Nest home and products will change. Migration is optional, and once completed, isn't reversible, so it's important to understand the changes migration will bring before you start.

Here are some key things that'll happen when you migrate:

• You'll no longer be able to use the Nest app on Apple TV or Android TV.
• Home members might lose access and need to be reinvited.
• After migration, home membership is managed with the Google Home app.
• Your data will be handled according to Google's Privacy Policy.
• You'll be subject to the Google Terms of Service and these Nest Terms of Service.

We recommend you read all the information in Important changes when you migrate and Privacy and Terms of Service sections to help decide if migration is right for you at this time.

If you decided to migrate your Nest account to a Google account, here you have the instructions on how to do it:

You can only link one Google account to one Nest account.

1. On your mobile device, download the latest version of the Nest app from Google Play.
2. Check you have an eligible Google Account.
• If you don't have one, you'll need to create a new Google Account.
3. Open the Nest app, then if asked, sign in.
4. Tap on “Settings,” then tap “Account,” and then verify you're signed in with the account you want to migrate.
• To migrate a different Nest account, tap Sign out, then sign in with the account you want to migrate.
5. Tap Migrate to a Google Account.
6. Follow the in-app instructions.

For more detailed information, please refer to this article: Migrate your Nest account to a Google Account

Thanks for your kind attention; I will be looking forward to your response.

Best regards,

Virna
