If you're a TL;DR person, questions* are below.

Just purchased the Arlo Wire-Free system about a week ago. Got it all set up on geofencing mode to work during certian hours of the day while home and armed 100% when away. Works well 95% of the time. I just found out Arlo supports Chromecast streaming. Added my Arlo account to my Google assistant in hopes I can watch it live on my TV so I could pull the trigger on getting Google home mini's. But no. After some digging, the streaming service doesn't support the original Arlo system.

*This leaves me with my questions:
1) Are there plans for the original Arlo Wire-Free system to support Chromecast playback/ streaming?
a) If so, when would it be implemented?
b) If no, why and is there an unofficial way I can make this so?

Lunchbox0419,

 

I do not have an ETA on when google assistant integration will be available for Arlo Wire Free cameras. For more information on google assistant, take a look here: How do I connect my Arlo cameras to the Google Assistant app?

I too have the original wireless system and would very much like to have chromecast support.

 

btw - would the Arlo Pro camera with the original base (from the arlo wireless) work with chromecast?

Using the Google Home app you can already cast Arlo to Chromecast-enabled devices. It's just not built into the Arlo app by itself.

This is a user help forum, not an engineering one. As far as we know, the answer would be no but we don't have insight as to what engineering is doing.

I guess to be more specific - I would like google home to work with Arlo (orginal) wireless system.  Yes, I have been sucessful to chromecast to a chromecast enabled device through google assistant.  Just not via  a voice command.
