Nest Cam 2nd Gen stream to Vizio Smartcast

[Adamjbollinger]

I just installed a Nest Cam 2nd Gen wired and am trying to cast it to my Vizio SmartCast TV (Chromecast built in) with Google Assistant, but it says, ""Name of Room" camera doesn't support streaming to remote screens." I have two older cameras (indoor wired and doorbell wired) that have no issue casting to the TV when saying the command, "stream "name of room" on "name of TV"". The two older cameras are able to be on the Nest App. The new camera can only be on the Home App. Is there any reason why the new camera I just installed (nest Cam gen 2) would not be able to cast when the two older ones I have are able to?

Hello Adamjbollinger,

Thanks for visiting the Community.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with this. Let’s check it out.

The new Nest cameras and doorbell are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays. To view live video feeds from your Nest cameras, doorbells, or other compatible security cameras using just your voice, here’s what you need:

• Compatible security camera
• Google Nest or Home speaker, or display
• Chromecast or TV with Chromecast built-in

Follow the steps here on how to stream your Nest Camera video feed to a TV using a speaker or display.

I hope that helps.

Best,

Lance
