Doorbell notifications

Hi everyone! 
I’m wondering if & how I can change my doorbell notifications to turn my phone on immediately with the live feed as opposed to just sending me a note that a person was seen. 

If this isn’t possible on a phone, can it be done on another device? Like the Hub?

Thanks

@CC2023 

Google Nest gives us the ability to receive standard notifications on our phone when a person is seen, but there's no ability to turn on the phone and initiate a live feed.

We can receive "Visitor announcements" on Nest Hubs, Nest Minis, and Nest speakers when the doorbell button is pressed (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7672451?hl=en), and that opens a live feed to the doorbell, but there is no ability to send notifications to our Nest Hubs for person or motion events.

@MplsCustomer  Thank you for the information, much appreciated.

I appreciate the help here, MplsCustomer.

@janthadeus  Hi!

No I did not try them as it’s not what I was looking for.  
Thanks!
