Hi, when the Tapo android app is streaming video from the camera, and then the app is sent to the background, will the mobile data usage still be as if the video is still streaming?

Hi,
For the Tapo C201, when the Tapo app is running in the phone's background, the live stream to the camera will pause.
Best Regards
