Turning On or Off Audio Recording in the Ring App

You can turn on or off Audio Recording for Ring Cameras and Doorbells.

For example, if you have a camera inside your home or business and you don't want audio captured in your video, you can update your audio setting in the Ring app.

1. Open the

   Ring app

   .
2. Tap the

   menu

   (≡)

   on the left side of your

   Dashboard

   .
3. Tap

   Devices

   and select your device.
4. Tap

   Device Settings

   .
5. Tap

   Privacy Settings.
6. Tap the

   Audio Streaming and Recording

   toggle to disable or enable audio.

For devices with a built-in shield like Indoor Cam (2nd Gen), you can manually close the shield to block video for another layer of privacy.

With Audio Streaming and Recording turned off, you can override the setting to speak with visitors and record your conversations if you have one of these devices:

• Video Doorbell (2nd Generation)
• Ring Battery Doorbell Plus
• Stick Up Cam (2nd Gen)
• Spotlight Cam Plus
• Floodlight Cam Wired Plus

When you answer a doorbell ring or tap the speaker icon in Live View to launch Two-Way Talk, you can tap Activate Once to turn audio recording on just for the duration of your conversation. Once you end the session, audio recording will turn off again automatically for your device.
