Essential Outdoor 2k (second generation)

I am getting conflicting info from the chat support. Does second generation 2k live stream through google home app? My original essential cameras live stream through the google home app when viewed on an iphone and ipad, but the 2nd generation 2k are not.

Yes, Arlo 2nd generation devices work with Google Home. You can find more information on what partner integrations are available for Arlo 2nd Generation cameras here: https://www.arlo.com/en-us/cameras/essential/arlo-essential-v2.html

To connect your cameras to Google Home, see here: https://kb.arlo.com/000055108/How-do-I-connect-my-Arlo-cameras-to-Google-Home

Thank you. But I am still unable to connect my 2nd generation 2k essential outdoor camera (VMC3050) to Google Home and see in the Live View section. The regular HD (VMC2030) works with no issue. I've unlinked/relinked the my Arlo account and reboot the modem multiple times with no success. I either get an unable to connect error message or just a solid dark screen.

I am have the same issue with my 2k arlo camera. I see it in google home. Just cannot get the feed to appear. Arlo is linked to google home.

I have two Essential XL Outdoor cameras and they don't work with Google Home and they don't work with my Arlo hub. Still waiting for Arlo to provide firmware upgrade to enable conection to hub. Wiil Arlo address the Google Home issue?

I also cannot see any videos from any of our arlo essential 2nd gen cameras, doorbells essential 1080p indoor camera, on my google home devices.. i can see /stream from my google home app on my phone but not my google home screens. it just says couldn't connect or camera feed not available after showing a black screen that says "live" on the top left corner. i can see that it triggers the camera in the arlo app to turn on as it will refresh to "just now" but errors out saying camera not available.
