This should be added feature. maybe toggle if you want to share with family or not

BTW eufy have this feature why Tapo cant?

Come on Tapo this is such an obvious feature. What's the point of paying for the service and  sharing the camera with family if they can't see the videos?

This must be an added feature. Every other camera ecosystem allows shared members to see recordings.

The only limitation that shared accounts should have, is to not be able to change camera/account settings. Everything they do should be read-only, with the exception of settings that are personal only to their own TP-Link/Tapo account. This is what every other company does.

I can't believe this is a request from 2023...

Well just came here to confirm that there were no issues with sharing the reocrded footage and .... damn.

What a stupid design decision, as discussed elsewhere in this thread, the point of people wanting these cameras and the cloud backups is often to protect elderly family members or keep an eye on the kids, and Tapo have decided that only one person per camera should have that ability.

I got them used to the idea of the one camera in the front window, I got them up to speed using the software and now because Tapo have made this dumb decision we may have to look elsewhere for future cameras and start the onboarding all over again, or use the cr-ppy 'sharing account details' workaround.  (which sounds like you will probbaly find is technically not allowed based of some part of the T&Cs)

While we are at is, let me access cloud data via a webpage using a computer, rather than downloading to a phone and then re-uploading to the cloud (Google Drive) and then downloading to a computer, what an insane route.
