Nest cameras can now, finally, stream live to Chromecast with Google TV
Google is finally allowing Nest users to watch footage from their doorbells and cameras on Chromecast. Starting this week, the company is rolling out an update to Chromecast with Google TV that allows the streaming stick to display images from all Nest Cam and Doorbell devices, including Google-updated models. last year.
Once you have access to the feature, you can use your Chromecast voice remote or other Assistant-enabled device to see what's happening outside your home. Just say something like "Ok Google, show me the front door camera on my TV".
Google has been exceptionally slow to add Chromecast support compared to competing products. As 9to5Google points out, the company has allowed you to stream security footage to your Nest-branded smart displays for some time. In May, Google even introduced an Alexa skill that brought the same functionality to Echo Show, Fire TV, and Fire tablets. It's also worth mentioning that Amazon and Ring offered a similar integration before Google.
