Nest doorbell preview not working.

I have never been able to get this feature to work even though it's turned on in my at a glance settings. I have a pixel 6 so thought it should work seamlessly! Any suggestions?

Hey there,


Thank you for bringing up the concern you're experiencing, I would love to look into this further for you. The first troubleshooting step that I'd recommend would be to restart your device. This process should keep all your settings, and reconnect it to the same Wi-Fi network. This is helpful if it ever freezes, has connection problems, or isn't working normally.


Best regards,
Brad

Hi Brad, 

Thanks for the suggestion but it made no difference. Still no video preview. Anything else I can try?

It may be exclusive to your phone model. What other troubleshooting steps have you taken thus far?

I've just turned the option on in my at a glance settings. What else is there to do?

You can reach out to support to get more help with this as we do not troubleshoot Pixel devices in the forums. Thank you for your patience.

Hi, no I still can't get it to work. I've admitted defeat now unfortunately. I should have bought a ring doorbell. 🙄

Hi Stew3448,

Were you able to reach our support team with the link I've shared above? To further isolate the issue, could you try viewing your Nest Doorbell through the https://goo.gle/2qjvVSU or https://goo.gle/2UZL8VI. Also, you may try resetting your Nest Doorbell to the factory default and add it back. Let us know how it goes.

Best,
Emerson

Hey Stew3448,

I'm dropping by to ensure that everything is covered here. How's it going with your Nest Doorbell? Were you able to read the information and check the link I've shared? We'd be glad to hear from you.

Regards,
Emerson

Thanks for that but the issue isn't with viewing the door bell, it's the video preview when someone rings the doorbell that doesn't work. I get a notification but no video preview of who's there. I've done all the factory resets and still nothing.

Hello there,
 

I’m sorry for the delay. Could you update the software version of your Google Home app? That should fix the issue. Otherwise, let us know if there’s anything else.

 

I appreciate the help here, Brad and Emerson.

 

Thanks,

JT
