Nest cameras and doorbells shared users or family members cannot control it

The checks in more detail

Once the invitee accepts, they see all the cameras and connected devices in the home, so invite only people you trust at that level. Google also has a Family Accounts article for the older Nest app and a separate article on sharing a Nest camera's live video with anyone through a link. To share live video, use the camera's sharing option, which creates a link that others can watch without an account, and stop sharing when finished.

If someone cannot see the cameras, check they accepted the invitation, that they are signed into the right Google account and that their role allows viewing. Removing a person removes their access at once. If a camera was set up on another account, it is not visible to people in your home until it is moved. A factory reset of the camera does not remove household members. Review who has access regularly. Keep a list of who has access and review it when someone moves out.

A person who cannot be added may already use another Google account, so ask which address they use. Ask new members to open the app once to confirm they can see the camera. A household with children may want Members only, and a landlord or tenant arrangement may want limited live-link sharing instead of full membership. If you use a shared live link for a package delivery or a house-sitter, set a reminder to switch it off, since an old link left on is a privacy gap you would not otherwise notice.
