I think we need a big ol’ general ‘glossary’ of all Wyze terms - pinned to the top of Topics list if it’s good enough.
You should do this and get it pinned. Pronto. 
- Official Wyze terms?
- Colloquial terms? Including unofficial abbreviations that users made up and use but which Wyze doesn’t actually use?
- Non-Wyze-exclusive but technical terms also used by Wyze or only Wyze specific terms?
- Legacy terms or only current terms?

Start with official Wyze terms. Facilitates communication and builds confidence when everyone uses terms consistently, imo.
Then, maybe pop-up most common colloquial equiv(s) when mouse-over official term.
Or nest, as best organized, to allow ‘drilling-down?’

So the official name for this new feature is:
Multi-Camera Timeline View
I want to call it:
Multi-Cam Timeline
Down the road in Forum posts it will be referred to as:
MCTV
or more likely:
MCT

The online support documentation writers MUST have a glossary they’ve compiled to keep terms consistent, no?
You psychic trendsetter, you.
They’ll now have to add that to the colloquial terms Wyze needs to create.

Always a firm grasp of the obvious.

Us volunteers are often very guilty of starting to use weird acronyms for some Wyze Products and it just becoming a normal thing everyone uses after that. We often do it out of convenience. If we can type something shorter and everyone still know what it is, then all the better:
FLPro vs the official Wyze Floodlight Pro
FLv2 vs the official Wyze Floodlight v2
BCPro vs the official Wyze Battery Cam Pro
CPLite vs the official Cam Plus Lite
Most of the above are obvious what they stand for in context in here, so we save the effort.
I would be more likely to type your MultiCam Timeline View as something like MCTimeline to help make it slightly more obvious to new observers But I could really see something MCT or MCTV being popular too, maybe especially if you type it out once then use an abbreviation the rest of the time in the same post/thread.

I often use v2 to mean Cam v2, because it was the first v2, I think. Now there are several v2 products, and some folks call those simply v2 in comments, so…
Leading with ‘Cam’ (a convention I first noticed @seapup using)
and a lower case letter plus number (Wyze convention, I think)
Cam v2
Cam v3
Cam v4
Cam Pan v1
Cam Pan v2
Cam Pan v3
etc…
Seems good.
BTW, what is the formal description for a cam with no subscription?
‘Basic’ plan versus ‘Cam Plus Lite’ ‘Cam Plus’ ‘Cam Unlimited’
I once saw an official comparison chart where it was specified, but now can’t recall.
Anyway, it would be good to standardize that description, I think.

It was named “Basic”. It’s now apparently “Without a plan”. 
I like “Cam Nekkid”.

You ain’t kidding! 
Guess it’s Cam Nekkid until they come up with a better one.

Sounds like a camera that was blindly installed for no reason or planning.

Based on the Captured on Wyze shared videos, I imagine that @AnnWithAPlan does not install cameras blindly at all!

There’s an ‘American Indian name’ topic just waiting to happen.
Who will step forth and dignify this dumb idea?
(Don’t scoff, it could be you! )
Which tribe?

Ok, I kinda mocked this one up, but it did actually appear onsite recently, so still valid!
