How to Use Motion Snooze and Global Snooze

Learn how to use the Motion Snooze and Global Snooze features in the Ring app to disable Motion Alerts.

Motion Snooze

The Motion Snooze feature lets you silence your notifications temporarily without editing the device settings.

Additionally, the Ring app allows you to disable Motion Alerts from a Ring device for a pre-set length of time.

You can avoid excessive notifications when there is a lot of activity around your home. Cameras will continue to record and videos will appear in your Event History if you are subscribed to a Ring Protect plan. 

Motion Snooze is not available when Motion Alerts are turned off in the Ring app. The screen will look like the image below when Motion Alerts are off.

Global Snooze

Global Snooze is a feature that allows you to temporarily disable Motion Alerts for all camera-based devices at a location with one action.

Note: You'll only have this feature if you have more than one camera or doorbell at a single location. The Global Snooze icon is a crescent moon that will appear at the top right of the screen.

When Global Snooze is active, the crescent moon icon will appear on the devices that are snoozed. Global Snooze can be activated for 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, three hours or four hours.

4. Move the Motion Snooze slider to desired time for snoozing all of your cameras.
5. Tap Snooze Motion. 

Once Global Snooze is activated, all of your devices will display a crescent moon icon on the bottom right side of the camera preview images on the main dashboard. The crescent moon on the top right will turn blue.   

To disable Global Snooze:

1. Open the Ring app.
2. On the main dashboard, tap the crescent moon icon on the top right.
