@myTapo_

Hi,
Thank you for the case report, and please help confirm the following information about the problem.
1. Are you logging in to the Tapo app on your smartphone and tablet with the same TP-Link ID?

2. Please send me a screenshot of the black screen on your tablet.

3. Please go to your tablet>>Tapo app>>Camera Settings page of the Tapo C100>>Advanced Settings>Display Settings, select the Compatible Mode, and check if the problem is solved.
Please try to press and hold the black screen on the Tapo app for 5s, and then check if the image will display.

Best Regards
