Floodlight Cam Pro andRing Floodlight Cam Pro not showing in Ring App on macOS

mac

My new Ring Floodlight Cam Pro does not show up on the Ring app on macOS. I was told by support this is the case for all 2021 released products. When do you expect this to addressed? With many still working from home it would be an important feature as most are looking at their computer screen during work hours.

    Hello, @CucamongaRed! Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding the Ring Windows app. The reason you are not seeing your new Floodlight Camera Wired Pro in the Windows app is because it no longer receives device or feature updates, though they will continue to receive critical security and bug updates. We suggest using [Ring.com](http://ring.com/) to view your devices on a desktop computer. The team here is continuously working to add features to improve your [Ring.com](http://ring.com/) experience. Thank you for being a great neighbor, please let us know if you have any additional questions.

      But the website doesn't allow for live view. Is that not available? I'm within the return period and have 6 cameras going back if that won't be a feature.

      Absolutely, completely useless. I wish I'd not bought my Ring cameras. There's no way of accessing 'live view' on my Mac since the web browser doesn't show live view and the Mac app isn't compatible with Flood Light. I wish I'd gone with Nest.

    If you are not going to allow for the floodlight cams to be viewable then why not do away with the MacOs/ Windows app completely because at this point it is useless.

      The Ring Desktop app no longer receives device or feature updates due to the planned deprecation. Newer Ring devices will not show up in the Ring Desktop app for this reason. You can read more information [here](https://community.ring.com/t/ring-desktop-app-discontinuation/81123). We recommend using Ring.com from a compatible browser to view your Ring devices on a desktop. Thank you for your continued feedback and for being a part of the Ring Community! :)
