Unable to monitor newer nest cameras on a desktop computer?

The newer Nest cameras cannot be monitored on the Nest app or a desktop computer. Why take away something good? I understand that Google is transitioning from the Nest app to the Google Home app. Are there any plans to have a Google Home app for the desktop computer? A lot of people (including myself) monitor Nest cameras from a desktop.

Hey folks,

 

Thank you for your feedback on this issue, I fully understand the frustrations of not having your new Nest Cams in the Nest App or available on https://bit.ly/3HtBgJC web app. I can imagine having to use two different apps at the moment is quite daunting, and could lead to frustration. 

 

However, the new Nest cameras and doorbell are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays. A Nest Aware subscription applies to all of your cameras, speakers, and displays in the same home structure. Thank you for your continued patience, and support. I am more than happy to assist you further with this inquiry if you wish. Please let me know.

 

Best Regards,

Brad.

OK Brad you just answered everyone's question. Subscription. Another way for Google to take money from the consumer. Break what already works and redesign another app that works - only if you pay for it. Genius. I'm switching to another brand. BTW, great sales tactics.
