Your Ring Videos, Verified

By Ring on January 22, 2026

We're excited to introduce Ring Verify—a new content authenticity feature that allows you to verify that Ring videos you receive haven't been edited or changed.

What This Means for You

When someone shares a Ring video with you—whether it’s a neighbor showing you what happened on their porch or a clip explaining an incident—you want confidence the video hasn’t been altered. Now, every Ring video that's downloaded or shared comes with built-in verification to give you that peace of mind.

How It Works

It's simple. Every video downloaded from Ring now includes a digital security seal. Think of it like the tamper-evident seal on a medicine bottle—if anyone changes the video in any way, even something small like trimming a few seconds or adjusting the brightness, the seal breaks. Want to check if a video someone shared with you is authentic? Just:

  • Go to ring.com/verify
  • Submit the video link —it stays on your browser and never gets sent anywhere
  • Get instant results—you'll see right away if it's verified Ring footage
  • Available Now

    Ring Verify works for all Ring videos, no matter which Ring device recorded them. There's nothing to set up—it's automatically included with every video that was downloaded from December 2025 moving forward. Whether you're receiving footage from a neighbor, reviewing a video for a claim, or checking that a shared video is the real deal, you can now verify it's authentic Ring footage that hasn't been tampered with.

    Additional FAQ

    1. What does it mean when my Ring content is "verified"?
    When your Ring video shows as "verified," it means the video hasn't been changed in any way since it was downloaded from Ring. Think of it like a security seal on a package—if anyone edits the video in any way (even trimming a second, adjusting brightness, or cropping), the seal breaks.

    2. What does it mean if my video is "not verified"?
    Videos that were downloaded before this feature launched in December 2025, or videos that have been edited, cropped, filtered, or altered in any way after download (even trimming a second, adjusting brightness, or cropping) cannot be verified. This includes videos uploaded to video sharing sites which compress the video. Even minor changes—like adjusting brightness or trimming a few seconds—will cause verification to fail.

    3. What should I do if my Ring video shows as "not verified"?
    If a video you received shows as "not verified," it means Ring cannot confirm the video’s origin. This means the video may have been edited or altered in some way (even trimming a second, adjusting brightness, or cropping), or that the video was downloaded before this feature launched in December 2025. If you need the original, unedited version, ask the person who shared it with you to share a link from their Ring app instead. Videos downloaded directly from the Ring app will be verified and include the security seal.

    4. Can Ring tell me how a video might have been edited?
    Ring's verification only confirms that a video has not been modified at all since download - it does not specify what has been edited.

    5. Which Ring devices support content verification?
    Content verification is available for all videos downloaded or shared from Ring's cloud, regardless of which Ring device captured them. Every video that leaves Ring's cloud automatically includes embedded content credentials for verification. Content verification is not compatible for videos recorded with end-to-end encryption. It will always return 'not verified'.
