Google Home speeds up camera feeds by adding images from Wear OS

[ad_1]

As the public preview of Google Home continues, the company is rolling out a trio of features with a focus today on improving the camera experience.

Citing “camera speed and performance feedback,” the Google Home preview is “rolling out improvements to the speed of live view for cameras and how quickly you can access camera recordings.” No other metrics were provided, but hopefully that’s a notable update.

This addition goes hand-in-hand with the inclusion of images on the Nest camera and doorbell notifications received on Wear OS “so you can know what’s happening at a glance.” This is available starting today with the public preview of the Google Home app for Wear OS.

Finally, as noted earlier, Google Home finally lets you rearrange the device tiles displayed in your Favorites. At the bottom of the main tab, look for the “Reorder” button next to “Edit.”

Easily rearrange everything you’ve added to the Favorites tab so you can manage your devices and automations with just a few taps. Is the front door locked? What is the temperature in the living room? Need to turn up the volume on your kitchen speaker while cooking? Prioritize the devices you use the most in the Favorites tab for easy access whenever you need them.

Google concludes by saying that “more exciting news is coming soon,” with the implication that more features will come in the public preview and that the program will continue.

At the same time, Google says that “there will be ‘big news in the coming weeks’, which may hint at a stable rollout of the app redesign with an initial feature set.
