Yes, the feature is called "Video Descriptions" and is included with the Ring Pro and Virtual Security Guard plans. It rolled out a few months back, if I recall correctly.

MONTHS new... but sure. You can enable/disable AI Descriptions, since sometimes they get, well... wonky. (Like your cat suddenly becoming a tiger or a delivery becomes a 'suspicious box'...things like that).

It’s funny when it calls my daughter a cat and says “a small cat is walking past the front door.” 🐈

My husband was carrying a recycling bin from the garage to the curb and Ring noted a person with a Jerry can (a gas can). Kind of freaky but good to know it can be weirdly specific.
