How to Stream Your Nest Camera to a Google Chromecast?

A few years back, Nest joined Google's hardware unit, and today; the two are completely integrated. Once everything is set up, all it takes to view live video on your TV (or any other Chromecast-compatible devices you may have) is a simple spoken or typed instruction.

You can also move among numerous cameras very easily, so it's a terrific means of monitoring your home from the convenience of your sofa or bed. You receive the same stream in the Nest app, albeit on a much bigger monitor.

Get Your Nest Camera Functioning Using Google Assistant

  • You only need a system that can support Google Assistant to stream your Nest feed to the Chromecast.
  • You can utilise your Android TV using a built-in Chromecast. There have been a lot of different options here, and they all take the same level of setup.
  • You will have to head to a Google Home app, ensuring that your camera or Google Assistant device is all on the same Wi-Fi connection.

The Next Step is to Ensure Everything is in Harmony.

  • Tap +
  • Tap set up the device.
  • Tap set up new devices.
  • To enter a home, tap it.
  • Just choose the device you're connecting to.
  • Click done.

You'll have to connect your Chromecast or TV if you've not already done so. Open the Nest app on your phone, hit the gear symbol in the top right, and afterward select Google Assistant from the menu that appears to do this. The only thing left to do is link Google Assistant from that.

Begin Video Casting on Your TV

You can broadcast in various ways now that you're completely prepared to do so. Similarly to how each Chromecast is called differently, so are all your cameras. If you have one of each, this won't be an issue, but if you have a larger home with several gadgets, you'll need to remember names.

You can start by saying "Hey Google" or "Ok Google" and afterwards ", Show [camera name]," "what's on [camera name]," or even "[camera name] on [Chromecast name]." Don't be scared to add a "play" and "show" in front of those if that doesn't sound very natural.

It may all function properly on the first try. If something goes wrong, the simplest problems—like a gadget that doesn't have a strong Wi-Fi connection or has entered standby mode—are typically to blame.

Verify that your Nest camera is linked to Google Assistant, and then go through each step again to ensure you didn't miss something. And, of course, make sure you both have devices on the same Wi-Fi network. You can then inquire as to whether the Chromecast is operating properly. Can you beam stuff from those other apps to it? If not, you may first need to have the dongle reset.

Reinstalling the Nest and Google Home applications can also help with shaky connections because it resets them to their default configurations and, in theory, removes any corrupted data or improperly configured settings that crept in when you were using your Nest camera and Chromecast.

Although this can take a bit of time, only start from scratch as a last resort. Rebooting your phone, router, and Chromecast, and streaming your Nest camera to a Google Chromecast may also help. You'll start from scratch to restore the connections and ensure that all your devices can see one another.
