Bring back 'Captured on Wyze' 🎥

[peepeep]

The way it IS:

It's Back...Captured on Wyze

 
The way it WAS:

What's the best way to share/upload/link videos here?

@persephone092470… Please head over to the #captured-on-wyze category and post your clips there. You can use the Upload button [image] during post entry to do this. If you have trouble, let us know and we’ll try to resolve. Another option is to upload your clip to YouTube and post the YouTube link in the #captured-on-wyze area.

When it CHANGED:

Forum Redesign - 8/12/21

I agree. Even though I am not a particular fan of seeing them, having a dedicated place for customer videos always seemed like one of the few things that DID merit its own forum. After all, soliciting customer videos of Wyze cameras was part of all the original Wyze advertising.

Forum Redesign - 8/12/21

I also agree. I’m not a big fan of it but , I voiced my opinion about this , that captured on wyze , should be a separate category not videos all scattered in some other section. After all the reason for the redesign is so that people can find things easier They say it wasn’t used that much by that many people , but I don’t know what the big deal is to make another section for it, why not ?

CURRENT DEBATE:

Forum Feedback Thread!

I’d like Wyze to reconsider the advantages of a Captured on Wyze category.

It's Back ... Captured on Wyze

We have heard you ask for the return of the #captured-on-wyze category. Well I am glad to announce its return. You now have that place to share those awesome #captured-on-wyze bird videos and any other ones you would like to share … within Community Guidelines of course. It will take us a little time to migrate over the current videos to #captured-on-wyze but rest assured it will soon be full of all those videos you love to share. In the meantime, why not be the first to post new content and…

Bring back  Captured on Wyze! 

• Yes
• No

[IEatBeans]

I agree, makes it easier to organize, I don’t want notifications for random clips (unless they are kitties ofc) but I do want them for support threads.

[Antonius]

Yeah!!! I need a place to put all my possum and raccoon videos besides with Pepé Le Pew.

[Customer]

Ye, and the existing “system” seems a failure - perhaps I’m searching wrong since I’m allergic to hashtags, but it looks as if effectively no one has used the “new” way.

[Antonius]

I guess we are supposed to do it this way

[peepeep]

Just do what it says at the top of the OP, ya mugs…

@peepeep

The way it IS:

A few months ago when the forum was reorganized, the Captured on Wyze category was removed. Content from that category was moved to Cameras and tagged “video”. Here’s a handy link to pull up those videos: Captured on Wyze Videos Moving forward, if you have a new video that was captured on Wyze you’d like to share, please create a new topic in Cameras and tag it “video”. After you’ve already clicked the link above, clicking the New Topic button will automatically apply the tag.

(OP=Original Post)

[Customer]

Umm, except that using “video” as a tag that is supposed to mean somehow “video recordings captured by users” is very, very stupid. No one would use it that way. Few ARE using it that way. I clicked your link. Few of the hits are “captured” videos shared by users.

Also, I read it wrong above and now understand that “captured-by-wyze” is the OLD way. Both suck.

I edited the OP for clarity in the interim, maybe it helped.

@Customer

Few of the hits are “captured” videos shared by users.

And you changed ‘none’ to ‘few’. Which is more accurate.

@Customer

Both suck.

Disagree. @IEatBeans & @Antonius are fine fellows.

[peepeep]

Was Discover on the home page of the old app a gateway to view/upload videos direct from the app?

Never clicked it.

Personally, I miss the little segment in the app for quick viewing. It was almost like a closed circuit version of YouTube operated by Wyze we could browse on the fly.

Future incarnation could be dubbed “WyzeTube”. And I do claim the rights to this brand name as marca registrada IP. Willing to forego same for a modest settlement…

It was! I enjoyed a whole lot of stuff there several years back. Curious that it has been replaced with the Monitoring icon. Hopefully they don’t bring “DISCOVER” back as a feed subscription…

Ah, so it sounds like the the app-tube was discrete from the forum’s captured-on-wyze, eh?

All the platforms discrete with respect to user videos uploaded, maybe?

And if this is any indication:

https://www.wyze.com/pages/community

…maybe Facebook Core was the most active video-wyze so app-tube was removed and the others were allowed to ‘wither’ in that respect?

Or ‘users were encouraged to migrate,’ to put it in corp-speak.

[secondary_2g]

I reckon so on all counts. Morning brain won’t process too deeply… Lol. Also not on Facebook or other social media. I kind of felt like participating in the wyze forums would offer the most access to wyze related things. Guess they’d prefer not to reinvent the wheel.

A long as they don’t start charging us to view our own (or others’) user-submitted content…

Good campaign @peepeep

Although, there weren’t any contenders that I know of so you seem to have won unanimously.

See peeps, Wyze loves you.

[Customer]

I have a feeling @nixhome2020 is turning his head sideways and giving the hardest glare…

[nixhome2020]

Yes, if only Landscape View For Tablets could get the same Fast Track to happiness like Bring back “Captured” did…

Where’s the Equity in it all!

What’s not to love?

[Loki]

Unfortunately, some things are easier than others. Over here on the forum side, I was able to push this pretty quickly and it wasn’t a big deal to add the category back (although we have some work to do yet to move the older topics back over). Landscape view is a different animal since full implementation is going to take a major app rewrite.

[Customer]

Of course.
