Live View for your Ring doorbell or security camera is a feature available through your Ring App to see what’s happening outside your door and around your home. To access Live View, you can open your Ring App and tap on an image from one of your Ring devices.
New navigation features for Live View are being released to improve the Live View experience, such as having views in both vertical and landscape orientations. In addition, you'll be able to expand the viewing area size to watch videos (if you have a Ring Protect plan) or drag the video to see other parts of the video is not in expanded mode.
If you do not see updated features for Live View, you may need to update your Ring App.
