4-Step Process for Nest Cam/Nest Cam IQ (New Units)
4-Step Process for Nest Cam/Nest Cam IQ (New Units)
1. Share your camera publicly, and find the link to share it. It’ll look like this… (this isn't my actual UID of course)
https://video.nest.com/live/ueuUueADjK.
2. Open MICROSOFT EDGE and paste that URL in the Address Bar. Right click anywhere on the video screen and select Inspect Element.
3. Find the line that looks like this (search for “playlist.m3u8” without the quotes)…
<source src="https://stream-us1-alfa.dropcam.com:443/…/062…/playlist.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL">
4. Copy everything between the quotes (https://str.....playlist.m3u8), but DO NOT copy the quotes. Paste that line into the MPEG4 option in Fusion.
Updated to reflect new HTTPS protocol on Nest Cams.
And yes, I know this is already buried in the forums, but 4-steps is easier to filter through than 45 posts.

Nest cam on Media Tiles only work with Microsoft Edge Browser
First of all thanks for the 4 step instruction. It really is straight forward and simply. i tried it and it didn't worked for me at first. And now it worked partially. Here is my experience:
1) Share video publicly - Checked
2) Retrieve the URL via Inspect Elements on Microsoft EDGE - Checked
3) Paste the URL into the Apex Fusion Media setup - Checked
So after i have done all these steps, it didn't worked. I have tried to paste the URL on my browser and a working stream came out so i am sure the problem doesn't come from the link. After many trial and error i realize that although i retrieve the URL via Microsoft EDGE, I do everything else via Chrome and the video is just now showing up. So i tried to load apex.local via microsoft edge and the video show up on my apex fusion. However when i open apex.local on chrome or tried on my ios app. The video did not show up. I am still stucked at this stage now. Any advice?
Note: I have attached a screen capture of my apex fusion page load on Microsoft EDGE browser & a screen from my IOS App. :)Attachment 9490Attachment 9491
