How do I restrict user access to a camera

[Rbabkoff]

I have a new roommate I’m adding to my google home. How do I restrict his access to the camera in my bedroom?

Google Nest does not provide any ability to grant access just to specific devices in the Google Home app. When you invite someone to join your Google Nest "household", they get full access to everything.

Is the work around to set up multiple households?

@Rbabkoff 

You could, I suppose, set up separate Google Nest "homes", but then you'd need a separate Nest Aware subscription for each "home".  And judging from other posts in this forum, it seems people on the same Wi-Fi network still have some access to any Google Nest devices on that network.
