I stand corrected! I was doing everything from my Android cell phone. If I view the videos from Windows, the timestamp does show.
Holy crap; you are absolutely right!!!
I didn’t even check until I read your feature request. Actually, NONE of my downloaded videos (live view and motion triggered) have time and date stamps. Totally useless as a security video, as it could not serve as evidence…

Hey neighbors, the timestamp should be displayed in the Ring app when activating the Live View or viewing a video from the Event History. It should look similar to the screenshots below.
If this isn’t the case, can you please share a screenshot of what you’re seeing on your end? Additionally, let me know if you’re utilizing Ring.com or the Ring app.

time date stamp should be displayed overlaid on the actual video. i do have the same as what you have below the video but we need stamped on the video.
i had ip cameras before ring and the date and time was displayed overlaid on the actual video . while watching live view on pc i could look at seconds to see if it was moving then i knew the camera had not froze or crashed . while watching ring camera ive seen me watching though it was live but it had froze . if it had the time displayed overlaid on video i would have noticed the seconds not counting up and realised the camera had froze.

We are referring to the downloaded videos. In order to save a video, it has to be downloaded. And there are no date and time stamps on the downloaded videos.
Of particular concern for a security video is that it might needed to be used as evidence of a crime. In order to serve as evidence, it needs a date and time stamp on the video.
I edited my posts above to correct my understanding. When I view videos from Windows, the timestamp shows up. I had been only viewing it on my Android phone.
If you view your videos on Windows (or Apple?), do the timestamps show up?

The time is below the playback video and below live video on the android app. and when i view a downloaded video on windows pc yes the time date stamp is there at bottom of the video overlaid on it . That’s how it should look on live video on windows pc . i would like the time and date stamped on the live video i am watching on the pc i have 4 small windows open on desktop 4 cameras but no date time overlay on these .

The other problem is that the time shown is linked to the time zone of the computer I am using and not the time of the camera. I use the cameras for remote monitoring from a different country from where the cameras are placed.

More importantly, I’ve heard of courts not accepting videos without timestamps, as not matching a person to a particular event.
I believe there should be an option to embed the detailed timestamp in all videos as well as live view.
