Hey everyone, 

 

Keeping an eye on the activity around your home just got even easier– so easy that you don’t have to take your eyes off your TV. Starting this week, you will be able to watch the video feed from all of your Nest Cams and Nest Doorbells using Chromecast with Google TV!

 

If you’re ready to make home security part of your normal channel rotation, check out all the details below:

 

Which cameras can you stream on Chromecast with Google TV?

Starting soon, all Nest Cams and Nest Doorbells will be supported, including our latest devices that were released in 2021:  the Nest Cam (outdoor or indoor, battery), Nest Cam (indoor, wired), Nest Cam with floodlight and Nest Doorbell (battery).

 

How does it work?

  • Chromecast Voice Remote: Simply use your voice remote to say which device you want to stream the live feed from. For example, just say “show me the front door camera” to see your doorbell feed. 
  • Other Google Assistant-enabled devices: Use your Nest speaker or display and say, “Hey Google, show me the front door camera on my TV”

 

We hope this feature makes viewing your camera feed a breeze! Let us know your favorite way to view your camera feed in the comments below.

"Camera feed is not available"
WHY!? Why does Googles own cameras have this issue but I can stream every other camera I own with no issues. My Brand new Doorbell Battery comes up with this error, as does my Indoor Nest cam. Brand new Chromecast 4k with Google TV just arrived today. It is crazy that there are so many comments with so many problems with regards to googles cameras working with googles chromecast. So frustrated.

Does not work with a brand new Sony X90K and brand new Nest cameras and doorbells. All are on the same network and signed into the same Google Account. Can only view cams on Google Home App (iOS preview) and on the web. Please fix this. A nice feature would also be able to ask Assistant, “Who is in the living room?” and have it answer you if the face is recognized. Also, per face notifications would be nice.

For those replying that it doesn't work on their TVs... Google pulled a money grab and wants people to use their Chromecasts only... So it doesn't work with Android/Google TVs... Which is really lazy and anti-consumer once again...

Well then why does Google advertise this as a currently working feature if they are just trying a money grab with chromecasts? I don’t think that’s the issue. It’s the software. And if it isn’t, Google, please send me some kind of home hub so that I can test the UX with cameras on screen. That’d be great.

Still doesn't work for our solar powered outdoor cameras. Just says "doesn't support streaming to remote screens". This is Google Assistant trying to show cameraX on Chromecast. Absolutely ridiculous, and all IoT devices on same network.
