Accessing nest cam from pc

Codcat

Hello I hope someone can help me with this. I've setup my google nest cam on my android phone with the google home app. I'd like to access my camera from my PC. Google help says to go to home.nest.com and click the device.

The thing is even though I'm signed into my google account there's no devices there, it only has an option to add a new device. If I click that it then asks me to plug in my nest cam via usb to set it up as if I was doing it for the first time.

It's already setup and active and working correctly on my google home app on phone...

All the newer cameras' and doorbells only work on the Google Home app (even though they are called "Nest"). You cannot add them to the Nest App, nor the Nest website.

Yeah, I want to view these cameras on my PC and set them up correctly instead of being forced to use an app on my phone...
