No more Ring Desktop
Really unhappy about this. I find it convenient when I'm working to see notifications and run live views from my office computer. Why would they force us to mobiles - something sat on my desk which I'm not staring at 24/7.Bad move Amazon/Ring.https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059615351

There's a Legal term for this - CONSUMER FRAUD BAIT AND SWITCH. The RING was sold as being accessible from your desktop app. They got your money and now they want to make it extremely difficult to get what we've paid for. Maybe writing to Consumer Affairs would be a start - that could lead to a Class Action against Google.In the meantime, instead of buying the additional cameras, we can turn to the competition.

Really not happy about this. The recommended replacement only supports two browsers (neither of which I use), and even if it did work across browser types I would need to disable two factor login to make it anywhere near usable. If this change stands I will have to junk Ring and move to an alternative, as desktop live view is why I chose Ring in the first place. Poor decision Ring.

This is just ridiculous. WHY? Surely it can't be that difficult to keep the Desktop Ring operating? It's essential for monitoring cameras and surely that's the whole point?Why do we have to be forced to have our mobiles in hand continually?Ring has always been a market leader and now it seems that they are going to lose customers worldwide. Not exactly good business sense is it? :angry:
