How do I change the LED settings on my Arlo Essential Video Doorbell?

This article applies to:

The LED (ring around the button) on your Arlo Essential Video Doorbell is set to turn on in a specific pattern when motion is detected or when you accept a doorbell call. You can use the Arlo app to change these settings, so the LED does not turn on when motion is detected or when you accept a call.
