Nest Cam with floodlight will not stream to Chromecast ultra

How LAME is this. My Doorbell streams! My Indoor camera Streams! Why the hell did I buy this if it DOESNT work as other devices? Shouldn't this be in BIG BOLD letters on the product page? How LAME, what a waste of money.

i'm in the same boat.  if you are in the return window, i would 10000% return it.  here is my experience:

sharing my feedback to save ANYONE the frustration we've all had with these @Google products.

re: cameras (doorbells, nest cams, etc)

1. the 2way voice does not work if you have a samsung device.  @Google has known about this for over a year but hasn't fixed it.  Isn't it great that when someone rings your doorbell, you cannot even talk to them?  Great product.

2.live video streaming is not available from any of the cameras to chromecast. It is advertised all over, including the on the box and during the @Google home app setup - but it isn't an option.

So, you can't talk over them, or see the feeds - what is the point.

I've called google support, the google store, and ALL of the reps are worthless.  They have done nothing to help or make this right.

If you are considering a home security camera, or doorbell, I would STRONGLY recommend you look elsewhere.  @Google service is trash, just like their devices.

Feel free to reply if you have any questions or if I can provide more details.  I hope no one has to go through this and be out nearly $500 for products that are useless.
