It’s an overdue update, but we aren’t complaining.

Following the recently-announced Google Home redesign, Nest Cam and Doorbell customers are gaining a new way to view their camera feeds. Google’s upgraded web viewer allows you to stream every Nest camera’s video feed from your browser—just log into the Google Home website and give it a go!

Previously, Google’s web viewer only worked with older Nest products. New Nest cameras and doorbells, specifically those made in 2021 and 2022, did not offer a web view (much to the chagrin of customers). This update resolves the problem.

That said, Google’s web view still doesn’t let you play back recordings. It only lets you stream a live feed, which is a bit odd.

Here are all of the Nest products that offer a web view, including older cameras:

  • Nest Cam (battery) and Nest Cam (wired)
  • Nest Cam with floodlight (wired)
  • Nest Doorbell (battery), Nest Doorbell (wired), and Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen)
  • Nest Cam Indoor and Nest Cam Outdoor
  • Nest Cam IQ Indoor and Nest Cam IQ Outdoor
