Logitech's Circle cameras have a few new tricks today, but they're tricks we've seen before. Alphabet subsidiary Nest took the stage at the recent Google hardware event to show off some new features that plug into the Google ecosystem. It demoed the ability to stream camera feeds to a Chromecast device, and now Logitech can do the same with Circle. That certainly didn't take long.

You'll need to link your Circle account in the Assistant (or Google Home) settings before Assistant will work. Logitech says you can refer to cameras by name, but I suspect you'll actually need to place them in rooms via Assistant for the commands to work. That's the case with Nest, at least.

Once you're set up, you can ask Assistant to stream your cameras to any Chromecast-enabled device. This feature works with all Logitech's Circle cameras including the original Circle and the new Circle 2 wired/wireless cams. Assistant integration goes live today in the US and will come to other regions "soon."
