Can the app show the live-feed directly instead of going through the app notification?

Hi, I recently purchased a Ring Video Doorbell. I have set up the app on my devices and everything works fine.My question is this. I have a dedicated Android tablet that I keep in my living room. This tab is connected to my other smart devices in the house (security cameras, plugs, switches, etc). I've got the Ring app also running in this tab and it shows the alerts on motion and ring.However, is it possible to get the app to straight-away show the video when the Ring bell is rung, instead of showing the normal notification? I want the tab to directly show the video from the bell whenever it is rung, without having to go to notifications and manually having to select it. The idea is that whenever the bell is rung, the tab will show the live feed from the bell so that I can easily see who's at the door.Is this possible either with the Ring app itself or with a third-party service such as IFTTT?Thanks,

    Hi GehanR,have you managed to figure this out ?I am also trying to find a solution to get the live feed automatically opened up on ring or motion detection on my echo Show but so far I haven't found a solution. I just learned about tasker but haven't figured it out yet. Will look into this and share if I found anything.If you have found a way I would be more than interested as this is really a basic functionnality that every standard video doorbell has. Like my wife is saying, you paid a lot of money for this, you are paying every month and it doesn't even do the basic of it's purpose.CheersSeb
