Nest Aware - Public video links

To whom it may concern,

 

I've older nest cameras (a total of 7) that I use around my home for various things. A couple of the cameras are used for the purpose of having publicly accessible video feeds. As I understand it, this is something that's not possible with newer cameras that use the Google Home app.

 

With the latest push from Nest Aware to Google Home Premium if I lose the ability to have publicly accessible video feeds I will be canceling my subscription and moving to a different platform as this is functionality that is required for me.

 

I may be in the minority and this may be of little consequence to Google, but I wanted to share this feedback in the event there are others like me who rely on this functionality so that this feedback can be considered.

I'm guessing that as long as your cameras and doorbells are in the Google Nest app (as ours still are), you will still have the option for publicly available links for your camera feeds. We've been on a Nest Aware Plus subscription (which, it seems, is going to become Google Home Premium) since 2020, and have just two 2nd gen cameras in the Google Home app, and are still using the Google Nest app for all of our older cameras and doorbells.

So far, Google Nest has still not added numerous Nest app features to the Google Home app, as noted in the mis-titled topic below, so we'll continue using the Nest app:
