Google presents an update for Nest Cam in Google Home for Web

Most users access Google Home through their mobile or smart device, but the app is also available through a web browser. Google Home’s web interface isn’t the best way to access your smart devices, but that is gradually changing. Google adds occasional updates to the client – with the latest one adding new methods of accessing your Nest cameras.

So, what’s new?

Last weekend, Google started rolling out the update, and now, most users should get access to a better version of Google Home for the web. The main feature is access to Nest Cam history with the ability to upload clips. Before the update, you couldn’t view recorded clips through the web version, and users had to resort to the mobile version of Google Home.

Other updates include additions to the platform, like the ability to adjust clips, and access to public previews. Google states that the ability to manage videos will roll out in a few weeks and will support Nest Cam and Nest Doorbell devices.

If you can’t see the features

If you still don’t have access to the new features, you’ll have to wait a few days until your account gets the update.

If you like testing features before they are released, see Public Preview. Public Preview lets you test features before release, but you might face issues or errors. Now that the update is available for Google Home for Web, here are some features that you can get your hands on:

• Event editor for Google Home automation
• Garage door monitoring for Nest Aware subscribers
• Added support for 1st Gen Nest Cams

Remember that you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to access most of these features, priced at $8/mo. To check out the updated Google Home web platform, visit home.google.com
