We will now discuss the steps that are required to change the owner of the Nest camera. So, if you will follow these steps, you can then change the owner of the Nest Camera.
- Step 1: The first and the foremost step is to log in to your Nest account. If you manage more than one household, then you can select the house for which you need to change the owner of the Nest Camera. When you select the house, you can then remove the previous account from that house.

Note: One important note that you need to remember is that you should not unplug your Nest camera till the light ring is pulsing blue. This will prevent you from removing the owner and you will have to reset the device to use it again.
Things to Remember Before Removing Nest Camera
We will now look at few important things that we need to keep in mind before removing the Nest Camera. When we remove the Nest camera from our device, it automatically deletes all the history that is related to that account. So, if you have anything important in those videos then you should keep that video before removing the Nest Camera from the device.
More so, if you have at least one Nest Camera that is associated with that device and is still active, then you can watch your videos online where it gets saved. So, either you will be needed to save the videos first before removing the camera from the device or you will be needed to keep at least one camera is in the active state.
Though you cannot keep more than one owner of the Nest Camera, you can surely give the control of the Nest Camera to more than one person. Yes, you have heard it right. We can share the control of the Nest Camera with other members of the house but anything related to the Nest camera account can be done only by the owner.
If you need to cancel the subscription to the Nest Account, then you can do so by navigating the nest account. This can be done either before or after removing your account from the Nest camera-associated device.
So, if you have removed your account first then you do not need to panic about how will you cancel the subscription because you can do that even after removing the account.
User Account for Google Nest Devices
One most important thing to keep in mind is that while you remove the account from the Nest camera device with a recent Google update, many of the shared users have almost similar permissions to that of the owner.
So, before removing your account you need to cancel those permissions that you do not want to share with the other users.
Users who have full access to the device can do almost everything that the owner of the camera can do. He can add or remove the devices, use and change the device settings, control the camera according to their usage, and add any other member without your permission.
However, he cannot manage the billing part because that is something associated only with the device owner.
