Show Nest Doorbell on TV?

by SumNuguy

I just installed the newest Chromecast with google TV. Is there a way to have my Doorbell image show up on the TV when the bell rung? I can stream to the TV so I know there is a connection.

What I've done is push the assistant button and say "show <camera name>". I don't think it shows when the door bell rings though.

On my TV, it pauses whatever is playing when the doorbell rings. I don't think theres a way to automatically switch, but you can use the google assistant to switch.

If you find out let me know.

That would be fantastic! Are you referring to a Nest/Google Hello doorbell? If so, I've downloaded the Nest app on mine and can pop in to view all my cams, but no other alerting I've noticed for doorbell (other than verbal).

I just tell mine to "show me the front door". As long as your Google account is linked to the accounts you should be good to go. It works the same for the 3 Nest Outdoor cams.
