Will a Google representative please address if or when Google Cameras (not the old Nest cameras) will have the ability to be viewed on a PC?
Thank you!

Until Google comes out with this, I've been using Blue Stacks on my PC. Works perfectly.

They won't. It's an orphaned product and those of us that wasted our money on these POS cameras are just SOL.

Google Nest has publicly promised otherwise.
On Sept. 29, 2021, Google Nest VP and General Manager Rishi Chandra said:
"...we are committed to bringing the experiences and Nest devices you have come to love in the Nest app into the Home app."
"...we’ve also been working on rolling out a desktop experience for the Google Home app, so the new Nest cameras and doorbell feeds can be viewed and controlled from there. This will launch in 2022."

When in 2022? It is now May 7th, 2022...

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.

Hi Brad,
(Refence your email that I can not reply to because the e-mail address is invalid, even though you told me to contact you)
I have two points:
I have 2nd Gen Hubs and Cameras and the newest available Doorbell/Camera. I subscribe to Aware. The system does not recognize that I am “Away” and does not send me push notifications. When I manually change to “Away”, it still does not send me notifications. Your technicians appear to not have a solution for this, yet I am paying for this service.
In one string about this problem (Nest Security Camera - Presence Sensing Not Working) I have been blocked from replying with the following comment: “Sorry, you cannot reply to this comment because you have not clicked on the verification link in the email we have sent you….” That is BS because a few comments up from the last comment, is me making a comment. Is that a for of censorship?
I see a new comment has just been added to the away sensing problem. Apparently, one can roll back to the 2.49 version of Home and the system works. So my question here is: How do I roll back my app to the 2.49 version (until you get this situation under control).
Anxiously awaiting your reply,
05-10-2022 05:02 PM
Hi Brad, do you have a date for full integration? and a desktop home app? or web access?

I do not understand what you are saying. Not sure what you are saying has to do with this thread fully. I don't believe I have ever sent you an email before, but as for the date for a web app version for Google Home, I know it is coming or Google has stated it's coming, but I do not have a date to provide as I have't been provided with one.
Best regards,
Brad.

You are correct, part of my comment does not belong in this thread but in a thread titled "Nest Security Camera - Presence Sensing Not working". You are a participant in it.
After re-reading the email I see that it is an automated e-mail sent to advise me that you had posted an answer. It is copied below:

My message is a summation of the frustrations that I am feeling in dealing with these issues. Especially the one where I was blocked from responding claiming I have not verified my email address and the fact that i am paying for a service that is not being provided. And I am asking for further assistance.
My last question about rolling back to a previous version remains valid for all threads. How does one do it?
Best Regards,
John
