I have done all the recommended steps. Will we ever be able to manually take pictures and videos with out doorbell? 

Will we be notified? 

Is anyone working to resolve this issue?

I have restarted the camera Uninstalled the app restarted my phone. Everything else I read in the post about this topic.  

When you press the camera button to take a still picture, the app says go to settings to allow. Everything about roku is allowed and the function works on all my other cameras fine.

@EdBone,

Thanks for your response,

To take a photo of your Wire-Free Video Doorbell SE using the Roku Smart Home App, follow these steps: 

1. Open the app and select your doorbell. 
2. On the lower right side, you will see a 3-dot option. Click on it. 
3. From the options that appear, select the "Camera" button located on the left side. 
4. Use the camera feature to take a photo of your doorbell.

Please keep us updated on your progress so we can continue assisting you.

Thanks,
Arjiemar

Re: Roku Doorbell manually taking pictures and videos?

That's exactly what I am talking about that does not work. When I click on the camera button it says go to settings or no thanks. I have allowed the roku app to do to everything,  all permissions are given.  This feature works fine on my other camera. I've read a bunch of other topics in here where it is just an android issue with the doorbell taking still pictures and video.
