How do I stream Nest Cam 2nd Generation?

I was able to embed the Nest Cam stream in a web page - but am so far unable to find a way to do that with the Nest Cam 2nd Gen.  Am I just missing something somewhere?

Yes, that's true, but you can't embed a link to a camera's feed in a web page--or share that link--as you can with 1st gen cameras.  And 1st gen cameras that are "transferred" to the beta "Public Preview" version of the Google Home app will lose that capability.  It's truly unfortunate that Google Nest does not seem to be addressing the missing Nest app functions.

Unfortunately, since the 2nd gen Google Nest cameras and doorbells work only in the Google Home app, "public livestream sharing" and "password protected livestream sharing" are two of numerous Nest app functions that are missing:

Have you tried home.google.com for viewing your cameras with a web browser on a computer?
