Live view for multiple cameras
live-view
app-request

Why is it not possible to have multiple live views open at the same time? I have the OSX app and multiple screens, so I was planning on having the live views up on one of my screens, but I can only have one camera viewed at a time it seems.

    Great feedback @Justin! I'll definitely share this request with the team, as I agree this would be a useful feature to have. We are always working to improve the app, so keep an eye out for updates. If it helps at all, you can log in to your Ring account on more than one operating system, and live view 2 different devices at the same time this way. Although, keep in mind, requesting multiple live streams at once can be tough for some networks to perform as expected.

      Yes please! I am about to replace my home CCTV system which showed 9 cams on my tv. Holding off buying any more stickup cams because I need to be able to see all the cams

      I just setup my second Ring camera and thought that this function was available now but it isn't. I have 4 Nest cameras setup (doorbell, inside camera and 2 outdoor cameras) that I had planned to repalce with Ring products. I can view all 4 Nest caneras on a single screen. Now that I know that I can't view even see 2 Ring cameras simultaneously, my plan is on hold until Ring implements this basic feature. I AM VERY DISAPPONTED!

    I agree with @Justin multi view would be great. Especially since alot of other camera sytems do this, and since I got little ones that love to play outside, or even inside. Easier to monitor them, then using seperate accounts and logging in that way. Also with the invention of smart tv's an ap for viewing on them as well would be awesome. With the ability to do picture in picture so you can watch your favorite episode of "Cops" or "Ring" comercials and monitor the cams at the same time if you wish. Also I fully understand @Marley\_Ring about the network issue. However routers are getting better and bettter and can handle more and more data. I use a "gaming" router on my home network since I hav multiple smart tv's plus PC's and also do work from home for my ministry. As long as I'm on my internal network only I have no issues. Maybe add an ability to the requested feature to allow for difrent video quality from UHD to SD so network could handle the request better.

      I'm another customer that would really like to us this feature added. I'd like to be able to view the stream from multiple cameras simultaneously. The idea about the smart TV app is also great.

      Good design and ideas ...but very poor execution on the software side...I bought 8 cameras and had to return them all...after finding out that Ring is the only security camera monitoring app that doesn’t do this simple feature

      Nearly all networks are capable of handling the 2mbps per camera required if streamed LOCALLY... over the internet is a different story. if you have REALLY old network equipment it may not be but that's unlikely nowadays...

      +1 This is a really obvious feature, which is a big con for Ring. Love my system but would really like to see this feature ASAP.
