Nanit to Chromecast or work with Google Nest Hub

Has anyone found a work around to get the Nanit to Chromecast or to work with a Google Nest Hub? (Nanit Support said it is "something we are considering, but nothing concrete in the works as of yet.")
I'm shocked that this functionality isn't available and wasn't early on the roadmap. There is a skill for Alexa, but similar functionality doesn't seem to exist in the Google ecosystem.
Using a Google Nest Hub is perfect for a baby monitor, so one doesn't have to livestream on a phone or iPad. Then you can actually use your mobile device for other forms of communication.

Thanks, @Melanie and @Tali . Would really love this to be a feature of the system.
I think the product story should be relatively easy to write. It's relatively straight forward to program the Chromecast functionality, as you can do it right within the Nanit app and don't need to mess with a separate published program, such as with Alexa skills. I think it should be doable in a sprint or two, particularly for the Android app.
Even if it's only audio and video transmitted via the Chromecast, thank would be an amazing MVP and conveys much of the value prop.

Logged in here especially to support this suggestion - we would love to use the nest hub displays as monitors in a similar way to the existing echo skill (albeit hopefully more reliably and less prone to timing out!)

Please make this feature happen. There's no reason an excellent device like nanit does not have "Works with Google" ecosystem qualification. Wyze camera is fully supported. Even my old automatic garage door works with Google Home.
Having it displayed in one of Google Home ecosystem's screen brings much more value prop (and safety!) than having to turn on audio mode on my cell phone and putting it under my pillow -- while being charged all night!

I just installed our Nanit pro and consequently just now learning it does not work with Google home. This is a total bummer and might be a deal breaker if I can find another camera that does.
