Hi @user38491. You can activate Live View by tapping on the notification you get on your phone. You can also activate Live View from the Dashboard of the Ring app by selecting your device and tapping Live View. You can also find information about Live View [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/208144516-Using-Live-View). Let me know if this is helpful.

Your solution involves 4 steps: waking up the phone, swiping to get to the Ring app, hitting the Ring app, and hitting live view. I am trying to avoid those steps. I would like to know if, when a person is detected, can the Ring doorbell, automatically wake the phone and immediately show the front door without me even touching the phone? My Alexa device can do exactly that.

Hi @user38491. In my personal opinion, having your phone automatically answer and start Live View can be problematic. For one, this could cause an overage if you're on a limited internet plan and your phone is Live Viewing for every motion. Also, if you are in a situation where you don't want your p
