Zoom and enhance on Google Home

[TBCuthbert]

I’m in the process of looking to migrate to Google Home.
From what I see it appears the zoom & enhance is currently not available in Google Home.

Can anyone from Google? Please explain why this function is taken away since you have the code to do it.

Did you decide that us as customers no longer need this?

I’ve been using Zoom. And enhance on all of my cameras for about 10 years and it is invaluable in using cam for yard security.

Hi TBCuthbert,
 

Thanks for reaching out. When you’re watching Google Nest camera or doorbell video with the Google Home app. See the steps below on how to do it:
 

1. Open the Home app.
2. Tap and hold your device's tile.
3. In your camera’s Live or History view, you can:
   • Spread or pinch two fingers to zoom in or out.
   • Double-tap to zoom in. Do it again to zoom in further.
   • Drag one finger to pan around.

Check out this helpful link to know more about it.

As your link points out, it's possible to temporarily zoom, but the "Enhance" feature to set and maintain a zoom setting while recording is only available in the Google Nest app.  With two of our entrance doors recessed, this is an essential feature for us.

Is there any way for us all to request (vote for) this feature "Zoom & Enhance".
Google has the programming code for it. How do we get it added back in for the cams?

[TBCuthbert]

Agreed. This is essential. And Google has the code to do it.

Hi folks,

Thanks Juni.  I have been providing feedback on the Google Home App for the past couple of months.  There has been no response. It would really help if somewhere we could see the status of our feedback such as this.

Hey TBCuthbert,

I understand. We don't have anything else to share right now, but stay tuned for more news and updates.

Cheers,

Juni

thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your reply.

What I am looking for is the Zoom & Enhance that we currently have on the Nest app

Google has the coding, please add it to the new Google Home app for our nest cams

I have been using this function for over 10 years. Without it, the cameras are zoomed out too far to use in a practical manner. 
please provide an update on getting the zoom and enhanced feature on the Google Home app. Thank you

having to zoom in every single time I use the camera is a bit ridiculous when we had the functionality previously. Don’t you think?

I am trying to stay constructive here. Regards.
