Nest Doorbell (Battery) can't pinch to zoom?

Am I missing something here?  My new Nest Doorbell (battery) in the GOOGLE HOME app has alerted me that someone is walking past the end of my walkway.  But they are a bit far away and I can't really see them.  So as I'm watching the video I tried zoom in and it appears that there is no way to zoom while the video is playing.  Am I missing something?  Or is this another item to add to the already super long list of things the NEST app does so well and GOOGLE HOME app does do?

I hope I'm wrong on this.  Hoping some of the other users can confirm they are not able to zoom while playing either.

Thanks

It doesn’t do it natively in Google Home. If I download the clip, then I’m able to zoom in, but again that’s not within Google Home 😞

REALLY?   MrVacca, with all due respect do you think that is acceptable to your customer base?  To download clip after clip just so I can zoom in on something?  it takes you out of the app to do something security cams have done for the last 8 years.   

Wow. 😥
