Watch face complications and the KeyUp chip
Put your room, KeyUp Talk, What was said, KeyUp Sound or Remind me on the watch face, and hide the KeyUp mark if you want.
KeyUp adds a room complication, four one-tap complications (KeyUp Sound, KeyUp Talk, What was said and Remind me) and an ongoing chip, all in your theme and accent.
Complication and chip
KeyUp offers four complication types: short text, long text, small image and monochrome image. Short text shows the room (a name of up to 9 letters shows whole, a longer one is shortened at a word end), “No room”, or “Off” with the time you are back. Long text shows the whole room name with what is live: On air while you talk, who is talking, or how many are unread. The image types change their picture the same way. While KeyUp is in a room, an ongoing chip on the watch face opens KeyUp when tapped.
Watch
- Choose KeyUp as a complication in the watch face editor, and pick the type your face’s slot offers.
- The live part updates while KeyUp is open on the watch, so it can be a little behind.
KeyUp Sound, KeyUp Talk, What was said and Remind me complications
Besides the room complication, KeyUp has four one-tap complications for your watch face. When you are signed out, a slot shows Sign in, and when you are in no room it shows No room. A tap then opens KeyUp. KeyUp Talk, What was said and KeyUp Sound come in three types: short text, small image (a red KeyUp circle) and monochrome image (the watch face colors it); Remind me is short text. Your watch face decides which types each slot takes. Screen readers say what a tap does.
Watch
- KeyUp Talk: a tap starts a talk in your room, the same as the KeyUp Talk shortcut. The Talking screen opens with Stop; tap Stop (or the complication again) to end it. Everything the shortcut checks applies, the same as any talk you start: you must be signed in and in a room that is connected, KeyUp must be allowed to use the microphone, and a call or another talk keeps it from starting. If it can’t start, KeyUp tells you why and opens. The slot shows Talk with your room name (in short text, a microphone with a word). If Let the watch button start a talk is off (on the watch, Raise › Advanced), KeyUp Talk shows Open and only opens KeyUp, like the button.
- What was said: a tap opens What was said for the room you are in. The slot shows your room name (in short text, a speech bubble with a word). If your plan has no transcripts, the screen says so.
- KeyUp Sound: shows whether KeyUp plays talks on this watch, and a tap switches it without opening KeyUp. See KeyUp Sound complication below.
- Remind me (short text): a tap opens the reminder recorder, so you can say “remind me in 20 minutes to …” from the watch face. See Say it to KeyUp.
Add a complication on a Pixel Watch
Watch
- Touch and hold the watch face, then tap Customize (or the edit button under the face).
- Swipe to the complications screen and tap the slot you want.
- Pick KeyUp Sound, KeyUp Talk, What was said or Remind me (listed with KeyUp’s apps), then press the crown to save.
- You can also do it in the Pixel Watch app on your phone: Watch faces, tap your face, then Complications.
Add a complication on a Galaxy watch
Watch
- Touch and hold the watch face, then tap Customize.
- Swipe to the complications screen, tap a slot, and pick KeyUp Sound, KeyUp Talk, What was said or Remind me.
- Press the Home key to save.
- You can also do it in the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone: Watch faces, Customize, then Complications. Not every Samsung face takes complications from other apps; if KeyUp is not in a slot’s list, try another slot or another face.
KeyUp Sound complication
KeyUp Sound shows whether KeyUp plays talks on this watch, and a tap switches it without opening KeyUp. It is the same switch as the Mute and read icon on the talk screen.
Watch
- Sound (a speaker): talks play on this watch as usual (your Sound on this watch setting is Auto or On).
- Muted (a speaker with a cross): Mute and read is on. The watch stays silent and new talks show as words on the talk screen when the room has transcripts, or as “Sam talked” without them. While your phone plays the room, the words stay on the screen and the watch does not buzz.
- A tap on Sound turns Mute and read on; a tap on Muted puts your previous Sound setting back (Auto or On). The watch buzzes once when sound is on and twice when it is muted, in your Buzz style.
- If the change can’t be saved, for example with no connection, the slot goes back to what it was and the watch gives one long buzz. Connecting headphones to the watch also turns sound back on. A change made on the talk screen, in the watch’s Settings or on your phone shows on the watch face too.
- When you are signed out, the slot shows Sign in, and when you are in no room it shows No room; on a guest pass it shows Open. A tap then opens KeyUp.
- It comes in the same three types: short text (a speaker with Sound or Muted), small image (a red KeyUp circle with a speaker) and monochrome image (the watch face colors it). Screen readers say whether sound is on and what a tap does.
- For a watch face with a speaker button and a big Talk button: put KeyUp Sound in a slot on the left, KeyUp Talk in a big slot in the middle and What was said on the right. Pick KeyUp Sound in a slot’s list, the same as the other two.
Hide the KeyUp mark on the watch face
While you are in a room, KeyUp shows a small mark on the watch face (the pill on a Galaxy face). You can hide it. The ongoing notification stays.
Watch
- Swipe up, tap Settings › Notifications and rooms.
- Turn off Show KeyUp on the watch face. Turn it back on any time.
- While Double tap the dimmed screen or Double pinch uses the dim screen, the switch shows On and says why: the watch keeps KeyUp on the dim screen only with the mark. Your choice comes back afterwards.
