Controlling your Stream Ring (without looking at your phone) starts with your thumb on the touchpad. There are four gestures to learn: hold, tap, double tap and swipe.
The gestures
| Gesture | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hold | Talk to Stream. Let go when you're done. |
| Tap | Stop Stream's reply. With Media Controls on, play or pause. |
| Double tap | With Media Controls on, next track. |
| Swipe up | With Media Controls on, volume up. |
| Swipe down | With Media Controls on, volume down. |
Holds starting when you didn't mean them to? Make them a little harder to trigger with Hold Sensitivity. See How to prevent accidental touches.
Turn on Media Controls
Media Controls is off when you first set up Stream, so a stray tap can't start your music in the middle of a meeting. When you're ready for it:
- In Stream iOS, go to Settings → Media Controls.
- Turn it on.
When your Mac is connected
| Gesture | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hold | Talk to Stream, or dictate into the app you're using |
| Swipe up | Switch to Dictation |
| Swipe down | Switch to Chat |
With your Mac connected, swipes switch modes, even with Media Controls on.
See Switch between Chat and Dictation.
Pause gestures with Ring Snooze
Washing your hands, or heading into a meeting? Ring Snooze stops your Ring responding to touch until you turn it off.
- In Stream iOS, tap the ring icon at the top right.
- Tap Snooze Ring. The Ring menu shows Snoozed.
- When you're ready, tap Snoozed to turn it off.
Ring Snooze stays on until you turn it off.
