Live feed issues

Bjsbostons

We used to always be able to continuously stream our nest cam thru the Google home but the last few months we've been having problems. Itll stream when we tell it to, but then after a few minutes it goes to a grey screen and says camera feed unavailable. But it still has the word live  up in the corner. If I check on my phone, the camera is working fine. I then have to unplug the home and plug it back in. Once I do that, it'll stream again and then repeat the same problem. We never had this problem before  Why is this happening? It's so frustrating.

There have been a bunch of reports about "live video unavailable" problems posted in this forum in the last couple of months. One thread is below. It's not happening to everyone, and I haven't seen anything posted indicating the circumstances of who is afflicted.  (We are not, for example. located in Minnesota, USA.)

Hi Bjsbostons,

 

I know how it feels when something isn’t working the way it should. I want to know a couple of things.
 

  1. What type of Google Nest display are you using?
  2. Are you using Nest camera for streaming or a third party camera?

Let's go ahead and perform a complete reset to your Google Nest display and make sure that when you set it up, the distance between your Nest display and camera is closer to the router for better connection.

 

Lastly, can you attach a photo or screenshot showing the exact display that you're getting?

 

Keep me in the loop.

 

Best,

Juni
