New Nest Cam Battery can't be viewed on Chromecast with Google TV

I've spent a ton of cash on these new products at very high prices both doorbell and cameras, have the cameras wired for better response all is working ok and I ask my Google TV remote to stream the backyard only to find out that it can't be done. I can't stream any of these new very expensive Devices. Doing some quick digging found a product page that says it's not supported, what!? Why!? I can Stream a 25$ Wyze cam but not two Google products together! Guys, cmonnn who is testing this stuff!?  Could not find any mention of it ever going to implemented either... hopefully this gets seen and something gets done soon, this is an essential feature for a security camera and btw all your competitors support this....for example all of rings cameras work with their fire sticks, I'm willing to give google another chance but I have to see some commitment, because from a technology standpoint some of these things don't make sense guys.

Correct, they only stream to a Google Home Hub. I too installed 6 Nest Cam Floodlights and was disappointed to find all the missing features like scheduling, etc. however, I believe enhancements are coming as well as the Google Home web interface, but it may be 2022.

BG is correct that, currently, Nest Cam (battery) and Nest Doorbell (battery) can only stream to a smart display screen. This would include devices such as the Google Nest Hub Max and the Google Nest Hub. At the moment, the battery variations of the Nest Cam and Nest Doorbell cannot stream to any model of Chromecast. If this is functionality you'd like to see in the future, I'd highly recommend you submit feedback via the Google Home app to let Google know.

 

Best regards,

I guess not, I've submitted feedback via the Google home app as well, was looking for an official response from the nest team to see if this is on the roadmap at all

Thank you for doing that! I know I've seen a good share of folks who would like to see this feature implemented for the Nest Cam Battery and Nest Doorbell Battery. If Google gets enough feedback, I'm sure they'll take notice! Keep an eye on the forums for any updates. For now, I'm going to lock this thread. Feel free to make a new thread if you have any more questions or concerns.

Thank you for your help, BG!

Best regards,
Jeran
