Nest Cam doesn't live stream when phone on WiFi network at Home

Hi, Our best cam doesn't live stream at all when we are at home and phones connected to. WiFi network. To view live stream we have to disable wifi and go on cellular network.

Is this normal? Can't be right...

That's not normal. What happens when you try? Did this just start happening? Is your phone using the same Wi-Fi network at home as your Google Nest Outdoor Camera?

Hi.. Comes with blank scren with error Live video unavailable..

I have tried using same WiFi as nest is on, different one. Just doesn't work.

Take it on cellular network and its back on..

That is bizarre. You could try contacting Google Nest Support starting with this link:

https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp?hl=en

By the way, there are several posts in this forum about "Live video unavailable". On the first thread below, Google Nest said 4 weeks ago: "Our teams are aware of this behavior and are investigating."

Hello EyeOfRa,
 

We appreciate your patience with this. 
 

To better understand what’s going on, I’d like to ask some questions.
 

  • Does your Nest camera record the events? 
  • How many Nest camera/s do you have? 
  • Are you having the same issue with your other camera?

Give these steps a try:
 

  1. Try restarting your camera and router to refresh the connection.
  2. Uninstall and re-install your Nest App and Google Home App. 
  3. If the issue persists, remove your camera from the App then factory reset the actual camera and re-add to the App.

Thanks for the response @MplsCustomer.
 

Thanks,

Emerson
