I have some older NestCams and some newer Google Home cams. The newer cams are accessible on the Google Home app. But I cannot see how to view the camera online (like how I can view my nestcams on home.nest.com). How do I view my cameras when I do not have my phone with me?
Thanks,
Josh

The newer Google Nest cameras released starting in the fall of 2021 can ONLY be viewed in the Google Home app and NOT in the Google Nest app on your phone, or on the home.nest.com website on your computer.
This is a design decision by Google Nest. Google Nest's Vice President promised improvements back in Sept. 2021 in this blog post, but there have been no updates since:

I hope they come out with the desktop version soon. For those who use these as security cameras, the app on a phone is too small to see the type of detail that would really be helpful.
