Ring has launched a new Ring Verify tool that the company says can โverify that Ring videos you receive havenโt been edited or changed.โ But since Ring wonโt verify videos that have been altered in any way, it probably wonโt be able to verify those videos you see on TikTok that look like theyโre from security camera footage but are actually made with AI.
All videos downloaded from Ringโs cloud now include a โdigital security seal,โ Ring says. To check and to see if a video is authentic, go to the Ring Verify website and select a video from your device to upload it. When Ring Verify says a video is โverified,โ that means โthe video hasnโt been changed in any way since it was downloaded from Ring.โ (Ring Verify is built on C2PA standards, according to spokesperson Kaleigh Bueckert-Orme.)
Any change to the video, including something small like tweaking the brightness, will make a video fail the test. Ring cannot verify videos that โwere 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)โ or โvideos uploaded to video sharing sites which compress the video.โ Videos recorded with end-to-end encryption turned on canโt be verified, either.
If Ring canโt verify the video as authentic, it also canโt tell you exactly what was changed about it. โRingโs verification only confirms that a video has not been modified at all since download,โ Ring says. If you want an original version of a video, Ring suggests asking the person who shared it with you to share a link from the Ring app.
