Frustrated by choppy audio during live feeds on your Google Nest Doorbell (wired)? You're not alone. Many users have reported this issue since February 2024. The good news is Google has confirmed a fix is on the way!
Unlike recorded footage, live audio with the Nest Doorbell (wired) has been experiencing skips and drops. This makes two-way communication—a key feature of video doorbells—nearly impossible.
Following user reports, Google acknowledged the problem and assured users a fix is coming. While an official release date is unavailable, some users have noticed improvements in their live audio feeds.
Considering Google's recent software update addressing night vision issues on the Nest Cam, a similar software update is likely for the doorbell's audio problem.
