Google reduces Nest Cam ‘Video not available’ error with Home app 4.8

Version 4.8 of the Google Home app widely rolled out today with a “foundational fix” for the “Video not available” error with Nest Cams. 

Google is addressing how you might get a “Video not available” error when launching the Home app from a notification or recent event.

What the company calls a “foundational fix” for this long-standing error should let you “play back events recently captured by your cameras.” 

This update rolled out with version 4.8 of the Google Home app, which became widely available on iOS last week and Android today. It follows the December update that lets you simultaneously transfer all cameras and other devices from the Nest app to Google Home.

Besides “Camera close-to-live playback improvements,” this release also offers “More automation starters, conditions, and actions.”

Meanwhile, as made clear by the last four release notes, Google is no longer explicitly tying changelog entries to particular app version numbers.
