Google will finally now allow Nest users to watch footage from their doorbells and cameras on Chromecast. Starting this week, the company will roll out a new update to Chromecast with Google TV, allowing the streaming stick to display footage from all nest cameras and doorbell devices, including the models Google updated last year.
Once you have access to the feature, you can use your Chromecast voice remote or any other assistant-enabled device to see what’s occurring outside your home, and you could just like say something like, “Hey Google, show me the front door camera on my TV”
Google has been very slow in adding support for Chromecast compared to competing products, as the company has allowed you to stream security footage to your nest branded smart displays for a while now. Although Google still introduced an Alexa skill that brought the same functionality to an Echo Show, Fire TV, and fire tablet devices, it’s also worth mentioning that Amazon and Ring have also offered a similar integration before Google.
