Hello,
My Google Nest doorbell does not play back any recorded videos. I will get a push notification that says person, or motion, and then when I go to the app to watch the recorded clip nothing plays. It is just a still image. The recorded clip shows the time and for video length, but it does not play.
How do I get the video to play to show me exactly what the person was doing in front of my door besides just a still picture of them?
Thank you

I have this same issue and have for quite some time. It completely defeats the purpose of having a camera in the first place. If it detects somebody live…. I click on it and get the black screen with endless spinning and then when they leave, it starts working correctly. Completely the opposite of what you want. It works fine until it sees something or somebody.

Same issue for me - we had an attempted break-in this morning, doorbell alerted me to motion and showed me a still image of the person trying to open my front door - even just 15 minutes after the everything was over and Police had him in custody the app would not allow me to show video to the responding officers and it was less than 30 minutes after the initial notification
ALl of these issues started once my Nest Aware 30 day trial expired. Does this doorbell "require" a subscription to provide video? I thought we had up to 3 hours before the video would be erased ?

Hi there,
I understand how upsetting this may be, and I'm happy to assist you. It doesn't sound like you have an active Nest Aware subscription. Here is a great link on how Nest Aware works and how to subscribe. In addition, here is a link on how to manage your subscription. Please let me know.
Best regards,
Brad
