Nest Hub does not display the camera when the nest hello doorbell is pressed

I'm having the same issue as below: https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Cameras-and-Doorbells/Nest-Doorbell-wired-Video-doesn-t-show-...

 

I have two nest hubs and a nest mini (which is currently unplugged), neither of the hubs show or announce a doorbell ring.  I CAN say show me the front door and it shows it, but nothing happens when someone rings the bell.  I've reset the hub, made sure announcements are turned on, made sure DO NOT DISTURB is turned off, what else could be the problem?  This is probably a 1st gen? wired Nest Hello.

Oddly, when my camera went offline the audio notifications worked, as soon as the video was back online nada...no audio or video notifications again!

Hi there, 

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this, as I can imagine it has been an inconvenience. I would love to look into this further for you. Do you have 'Visitor Announcements' turned on in your settings? That would definitely be the first thing to confirm.

Best regards, 
Brad

Yes this is turned on and there are no "Do not Disturbs" turned on.   The one thing i haven't tried was to remove my camera from my Nest app (account) and re-add it because i think have to remove the Nest from the wall and get the serial number (which i didn't know how to do until i just googled it now: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9252289?hl=en#zippy=%2Cnest-doorbell-wired)

Do you think this will help?

You could try to factory reset it first if you haven't tried that recently. You can learn how here

Hi KurganQ2,

Thanks for getting back to us. Hit this link for the steps on how to save and download a clip or you may use your mobile phone's default screen recording app. So that you can save your important recorded videos before resetting your Nest Doorbell.

 

Keep us posted here.
