Will google support Nest 1st generation IQ cameras in Google Home after April 2024?

Nest IQ Outdoor and IQ Indoor cameras as well as the doorbell camera all presently show up in Google Home.  Will this continue after April 2024?

I do not have Dropcams and I know Nest Secure will go away. 

I am wanting to know if Google Home will continue to support the 1 Gen IQ cameras (Indoor and Outdoor) and the Doorbell camera just as it does today.

Google Nest has only announced discontinuance of support for Dropcams.

Google Nest currently allows TRANSFERRING 1st gen Google Nest Indoor Cameras and 1st gen Google Nest Outdoor Cameras to the beta "Public Preview" version of the Google Home app:

Currently, it is NOT possible to TRANSFER Google Nest IQ Cameras or Google Nest Hello Doorbells to the "Public Preview" version.

In the Nov. 29, 2023 post above, Google Nest says this:

Q: Will Google still support the Nest app?

A: There is no change to the Nest app today. You can continue to use the app as you do now.

Google Nest also lists the following Nest app functions that are NOT in the Google Home app:

For your Gen 1 IQ Cameras you are far better off continuing to use the NEST app. At some point (hopefully in 2024) Google will finish the improvements needed to the Google Home app and we can all move over to that app. But for now staying with NEST is my best advice.
