Nest Cameras not working in MacOS app, but works perfectly on iOS, Android and browser (on same Macbook Pro)

Configuration
1

The title basically says it all, but here are a few details. On MacOS, I can see my Nest Doorbell camera, but can’t see my newer generation battery cameras (which are plugged in). The battery cameras just show a black screen (the same screen you get if you select “auto” instead of “live” view). All cameras work perfectly on iOS, Android, and even through the browser on the same laptop (Macbook Pro) that I’m using the MacOS app on. Anyone else run into this? Any fixes?

Hi, I’m having a little trouble following what’s working and what’s not in your description given your bug report and the number of scenarios.

The integration instructions describe.how to use the picture glance card live with battery cameras to start a webrtc connection in the browser. I can’t tell if you’re using that or not based on what you said so maybe spell put the Lovelace details.

Does it work if you click on the camera to show the stream?

Sorry for the confusion. Here is the Lovelace code:

views:
  - title: Home
    cards:
      - type: picture-entity
        entity: camera.front_camera
        camera_view: live
      - type: picture-entity
        entity: camera.rear_camera
        camera_view: live
      - type: picture-entity
        entity: camera.doorbell

To simplify what I was saying - all cameras work perfectly on all platforms other than the MacOS app (and to clarify, the cameras work perfectly on MacOS when accessing HA via browser, but they do not work when accessing HA via the MacOS app). When accessing via the MacOS app, the Nest Doorbell camera works, but the newer battery cameras just display a blank black space.

Can you try the recommendation in the integration instructions? Picture glance card with live view

Same thing unfortunately - it works on all platforms other than the MacOS app. Here is the code:

views:
      - type: picture-glance
        title: Rear
        image: https://demo.home-assistant.io/stub_config/kitchen.png
        entities:
          - binary_sensor.updater
          - binary_sensor.rpi_power_status
        camera_image: camera.rear_camera
        camera_view: live

Thanks, maybe worth reporting an issue under the iOS component in Help - Home Assistant
