Issues switching the account of a Nest Camera

I have nest Camera. I want to change the Google account it is connected to. I removed the device it from one account and then proceeded to add it to my other google account. I have tried everything, resetting the camera, deleted the google home app and reinstalling it etc but it always comes up at the end of the installation process that there was an error.

@Anna368 

Was your reset a "factory reset", and not just a "restart"?

"Press and hold the button:

* At 10 seconds, the status light will blink yellow four times, and you’ll hear a countdown tone.
* At 12 seconds, the status light will be steady, solid yellow while the camera starts the factory reset, and you’ll hear a confirmation tone.

Release the button. Your camera will restore to its factory settings."

What error are you getting?
