Google does work…well, it’s temporarily down at the moment (stalling out trying) because Wyze is in the middle of upgrading the Wowza servers and they aren’t done yet…but they did figure out what the problem was. Here is the Wyze announcement about it: > [@Wyze Finally Works With Google Assistant!](https://forums.wyze.com/t/wyze-finally-works-with-google-assistant/36328/724): > > Dear Google Home Streamers, As you know, we have been experiencing some difficulty in streaming your Wyze Cam feed to Google Nest Hubs, Chromecasts, and other compatible devices. We need your point of view on the next step. We have identified that the problem is linked to cold start and the audio part of the stream. For some reason, still unknown, the length of an audio segment is marked as being 24 hours long instead of a few seconds causing the players to think they have enough to render wh… Until the very recent server upgrades in last week or 2, basically, if you called the stream within the last few minutes, then do it a second time, it was streaming well (called a hot start). It was always failing on the first call (cold start) because it was trying to push 24 hours of audio and stalling out. As soon as they upgrade their Wowza servers they’re going to remove the audio track temporarily, and it will load the first time you call it every time. Then they’ll fix the issue and release it again with Audio loading the first time too. But it should be working again soon…as soon as the Wowza server is stable hot start will keep working until they remove the audio, then 1 st calls will work fine too. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.wyze.com/t/alexa-integration-tips-and-tricks/147474)._
