Web view for new Nest cameras

[paulschreiber]

Last October, you announced that support for new cameras in a web browser would be coming in 2022:

A new home on the web. This has been an important feature request, so we’re developing a new Google Home on Web for the new Nest cameras and doorbell allowing users to view their cameras on the Web. This will be coming in 2022.

Lots of people are interested: thread 1, thread 2, thread 3, thread 4, thread 5.

Google:

• please express to your product management team the strong demand for this feature
• please provide an updated ETA
• please provide an opportunity to beta test the web UI

Complete and utter failure by the Next product team.  I am so annoyed with not being able to view online.

This is ridiculous.  Google NEST camera that doesn't work with the nest ecosystem. is false advertising.  Maybe Google will start to listen if there is a lawyer and a class action lawsuit.  How many people has Google scammed out of their money selling these devices now with a false promise to fix the issues?

GOOGLE ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?

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. 

Best Regards,

Brad

@Brad aside from expressing concern, are you able to help? Can you share the current status of the work? Add us to a beta testing group? Leave comments on the internal bug tracker?

@paulschreiber

Unfortunately that is not something that Moderators assist with. I am not aware of any testing groups of any kind. I do not have an update from Google on the web app, all I can tell you is that as far as I am aware, there are no updates. Honestly, I haven't heard an update from Google on this for a while now. Until we do, I ask for your patience on the matter.

Best regards,

Brad

Please provide an updated ETA/roadmap.

@paulschreiber

That is not a possibility at this time. Google will make an announcement when they choose too. Community Specialists do not have that sort of direct access. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Brad
