video playback

Please remove that dark background for the play controls when reviewing ring recordings. It covers most of the footage and doesn’t disappear if pressed/clicked.

Unless your phone app is different than mine, the dark Play-control bar should only be displayed for a second or two, and then disappear. But whenever you press/click anywhere on the screen, the Play-control bar should return for another second or two.

I like how the PC & tablet versions of the Ring app have a transparent Play-control bar. And downloaded videos, that you wish to save, do not have the Play-control bar at all. :slight_smile:

The control bar doesn’t disappear in a timely fashion. The motion that triggers the camera will still be on screen the first few seconds and then go off screen. The first few seconds of motion-triggered footage is super important.

@potatobread , Ahhhhh, I see now what your intent is. Here is a link that you may want to add your Kudo vote to then, submitted by @pjpace awhile ago on the Feature Request board. :slight_smile:
