Google’s original Nest Doorbell is broken for many right now
An issue with Google’s original Nest Doorbell has left live view of the video feed broken for many owners, and there’s no word on a fix just yet. more…
Google's original Nest Doorbell, also known as "Nest Hello" and referred to as "Nest Doorbell (wired, 1st gen)," is currently experiencing an issue that has rendered its live view of the video feed inoperable for numerous users. This problem has been reported in the past few days, with users across several Reddit threads and Google support threads expressing their experiences.
While reports of similar issues with first-gen Nest cameras have been noted, they are less prevalent compared to the doorbell concerns. It's worth mentioning that Google did roll out an update to older Nest hardware at the end of October, which may have contributed to the issue. However, users have observed that Nest Doorbell notifications on Nest Hub displays are still functioning correctly.
Some speculate that the switch to WebRTC could be the root cause of the problem, but it remains unclear whether this theory holds true, as workarounds based on this assumption have not proven reliable. Despite the multitude of reports, Google has not yet commented on a potential solution or confirmed the existence of the issue. With numerous users affected, it is evident that there is a problem on Google's end.
