Zoom backing out when progressing through timeline

Android App: 3.1.5.569
Cameras: V3 Pro, Cam Unlimited.

Hope that I can explain this properly.
I have certain “areas” that I monitor, that don’t always show the moment something changes, so I like to zoom in and go through the timeline.

Since updating to 3.0 whenever I zoom in on something and then progress through the timeline OR just proceed in 30 second increments the screen goes back to “default” (whole camera area) backing out of the zoomed object.

super duper frustrating! Would love to have it stayed zoomed in while progressing through the timeline again, as it used to, prior to App, version 3 (latest).

That does seem frustrating, and I don’t even recall ever using the feature as you described it (and I think you did explain it well enough, if I understand you correctly).

I don’t have any idea how or why that part of the playback experience changed (or if it was intentional), but if it was there before then it seems like Wyze should be able to restore that at some point. A couple of Wishlist topics come to mind:

In this second one, I’ve just skimmed it and don’t see your specific request, but I imagine a “maintain zoom while scrubbing” ask would fit:

I just tested this on my iPad for my V3 PRO. If I start playback from the SD and zoom in to one area then move up or down the timeline it does stay zoomed in through the entire time line.
iOS app 3.1.6.1

I too spend a lot of time searching through videos that require me to zoom in to see detail. I have also found it unable to retain the zoom when trying in “full screen” mode to advance or go back 30 secs. It always backs out of zoom. Along those same lines, I wish that we still had the sliding timeline overlaying the video. It enabled you to easily move through the video while zoomed in. I know I still have this capability on my V3 cameras. This is obviously camera specific but again, very difficult to scan the video when you have to bounce out of the full screen to move the timeline more than keep hitting the +/- 30 sec buttons. Just lost some flexibilty in both the move to the new cameras and the the new app update.
