Nest Live Stream share doesn't work on iphone

Update browser message displayed in chrome, safari and Firefox instead of live stream. In all cases the browser is updated to the latest version. This only impacts iphone, android phones work fine.  I need this so I can share only one of my cameras without sharing all cameras.

Hey there,


Thank you for bringing up the concern you're experiencing, I would love to look into this further for you. The first troubleshooting step that I'd recommend would be to restart your device. This process should keep all your settings, and reconnect it to the same Wi-Fi network. This is helpful if it ever freezes, has connection problems, or isn't working normally.


Best regards,
Brad

Hi folks,

 

@RedBaron85 checking in — have you tried restarting your Nest camera? If so, how did it go? Let me know if you need more help.

 

I appreciate the help, Brad.

Hello RedBaron85,

 

Thanks for getting back to us and we appreciate you sharing with us your feedback. You may share your specific Nest camera with your family member by sending them an invite. Here's how.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks,
Emerson

I know how to do this and Ibwant to share one camera only. I get you can also create another account for that one camera to but, that is a hassle. The web sharing works on android can you fix it for apple products. The message reads the browser version is out of date however, the latest and supported version is used.

Hi RedBaron85,

To confirm, are you using your iPhone's web browser to share your Nest camera? Try using your Nest app or Google Home app to share it. Also if possible, can you use a different iPhone and check if it will work.

Keep us posted.

Thanks,
Emerson

Correct, using the iphone web browser. The nest app requires you to share the entire house which includes other things that I don't want to provide access to.

Did this option on that link:

Share your video stream with a public or private link (Nest app only)

The link will not play video on an iphone. Only an android device.

Hi RedBaron85,

That certainly hasn’t been easy for you. I would suggest you reinstall your Nest app from your iPhone and reinstall your web browsers and try it again. You might want to try downloading a different web browser and check if it works.

Keep us posted.

Emerson

Hey there,

 

I'm sorry for the delay. Let's further check this — do you have a computer (Windows or Mac) to try camera sharing? 

 

Thanks,

The only way to help is to confirm web camera sharing works for apple products. It works on all other platforms however, apple is one of the largest and nest/google should fix it.

Hello RedBaron85,

 

Thanks for sharing that with us. Could you try camera sharing without a password first, see if it works?
