OH. So not just for motion? The sound, smoke alarm, and CO alarm toggles all go to the cloud as well. I'll share your request for universal button with the team. Sorry for my confusion!

I just want to make sure the footage isn't uploaded anywhere. None of these explanations give me much confidence 😆 A button to specifically disable cloud recording would be great.

Not competing with at all. It’s the anti-VidCon. This is a place for YouTubers to learn.

that said, I'm very curious about Vidsummit, it looks interesting! I feel like Vidcon was a good crash course in Youtube for me, but I'm not sure I can justify two conferences in the same year tho.

Vidcon has the whole creator and industry tracks which have zero to do with fans. It's sessions about making videos. The expo hall was all tracks combined, so it was a little funny to have the Sennheiser booth next to the M&M booth.

Curious how many of my twitter friends are going to @vidsummit this year… (if you ARE going, also comment below so I know who to look for!)

I'd never heard of it before. They're clearly competing with Vidcon with their home page copy! 😂 "VidSummit is NOT a place where influencers connect with their fans."

Amazing! Did you get any funny questions from the crew or was it pretty straightforward?

Thanks for your feedback! Do you have a specific link that I can send the team to look at?

To turn off cloud recording, turn off the motion detection. That's the only toggle for that particular aspect. You can still use continuous recording to a microSD card afterward.

Thanks! That's much simpler than it apparently used to be!

We're releasing Wyze Cam v2 4.9.4.108 and Wyze Cam Pan 4.10.3.108 firmware upgrades today! These add support for a Wyze Sense status light toggle on the Bridge, fix a couple Bridge bugs, and fix time lapse downloading.

Find out more in our release notes:

https://support.wyzecam.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024852172-Release-Notes

Can we get a toggle that completely disables cloud uploading/recording?

The references for how to disable cloud recording by turning off a bunch of switches don't match up with the latest version of the app!

US-based international travelers! What phone carrier do you use for data abroad and how do you like it? With the merger of @Sprint & @TMobile I am considering other options like @googlefi or other major US carriers. Has it been seemless, is it possible to get data unthrottled?

I use GigSky with my iPhone's virtual SIM! It's so nice that I don't have to swap SIM cards, and their rates are not the cheapest but totally reasonable, and it's just so so easy. I never think about it anymore.

Now the real struggle begins. Hitting one whole month. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I’ve made it 30 days without buying a camera 🤣

Days since last camera purchase: 11

but the RX100 VII comes out next week! How are you not gonna buy it!

@aaronpk I'm guessing you use that Live thing and then select the frame you want. Not something I generally do when I'm snapping, but I might try and remember in future.

Even simpler, I just recorded a video until I saw a flash, then stop the video and find the frame! Then I use a video editing app to export the single frame from the video.

Out of curiosity, what airline had them? I've never seen one in the wild!

Delta this morning, pretty sure I've seen them on Alaska as well! They're only in first/business or the bulkhead seats.

Ikea Dimpa...perfect size, $4.99. Getting one tonight and taking a chance. Worst that happens my bike gets squashed, falls off the plane, destroys a small town.

Nice let me know how it goes!

Dang. I think I may try the ikea bag method and bring it as a carry-on. It's supposed to fit in the overhead bins.

Like in a giant blue bag? That's a thought! My only worry is some planes have the super small overhead and it won't fit, and then they'll want to gate check it.

I haven't actually done that myself yet, but I was thinking about bringing it to Redlands next week!

Might as well throw in the GH5 too and also Fuji XT3 and call it THE ULTIMATE COLOR SCIENCE TEST hurry before someone steals our idea.

I would watch that in a heartbeat :-)
