Hi,

 

I have many devices shared to me.

 

Would be nice to be able to create folders or tabs for these devices that are shared so it's easier to monitor.

 

I tried searching, but could not find a similar thread. Hopefully this is not a duplicate thread.

 

Thank you.

Hi,
On the Tapo app > Me > Device Sharing > Device From Others page, you can find all the cameras shared by others. If you click on a camera, you can go to its live view page to manage it.
Best Regards

Hi Solla-Topee, I don't mean managing devices. I have 20 devices shared from multiple different accounts from different shops and locations. I would like to be able to group these devices according to the shops and locations. Currently this is not doable. Meaning that I have to scroll through devices and check one by one to find a Shared Device that I am looking for. If I am able to organize it via location like folders or groupings that can be done if it's a normal (not a shared) device, then I feel that will be very very helpful. Thank you. Regards

I agree this would be a good feature. I can't organize all of my shared devices on my phone. Drives me crazy.

  It's incredible frustrating to not be able to create a group from shared devices, lights in my instance. Says I don't have permission to create a group from shared light bulbs. So instead of four groups I have 22 individual lights. 
 

How do you give permission to someone to create a group from shared light bulbs?

  @LastArms @Solla-topee Another upvote from me. I also have several devices shared with me by family members and it is incredibly frustrating scrolling through a list of devices searching for one you need to find. Particulrly where speed is a factor in the interest of security! My familiy members share the same frustration regarding all of the devices that I and others have shared with them!

 

Is there any update regarding whether or not this feature will be added?! There would be no administrative rights required... just the ability to create groups locally within the app for 'shared' devices to be categorised i.e. Mothers House, Grandmas House etc.
