 - Stream selection using the `live -> streams` configuration option (see _Setting Streams For Live UI_ above)
 - Streaming type:
   - _No streaming_: Camera images will only update once per minute and no live streaming will occur.
-  - _Smart Streaming_ (default, recommended setting): Smart streaming will update your camera image once per minute when no detectable activity is occurring to conserve bandwidth and resources. When motion or objects are detected, the image seamlessly switches to a live stream.
+  - _Smart Streaming_ (default, recommended setting): Smart streaming will update your camera image once per minute when no detectable activity is occurring to conserve bandwidth and resources, since a static picture is the same as a streaming image with no motion or objects. When motion or objects are detected, the image seamlessly switches to a live stream.
   - _Continuous Streaming_: Camera image will always be a live stream when visible on the dashboard, even if no activity is being detected. Continuous streaming may cause high bandwidth usage and performance issues. **Use with caution.**
-- Compatibility mode: Enable this option only if your camera's live stream is displaying color artifacts and has a diagonal line on the right side of the image. Before enabling this, try setting your camera's `detect` width and height to a standard aspect ratio (for example: 640x352 becomes 640x360, and 800x443 becomes 800x450, 2688x1520 becomes 2688x1512, etc). Browsers may not be able to support more than a few cameras in compatibility mode, so only use this option if changing your config fails to resolve the color artifacting and diagonal line.
