Hello @NelsonM 

For ' frequently asks me to click to update the screen.' may I have  a photo of screen, and how frequent it happens? May I know the model of your phone and its Andriod or IOS version?

• Turn off VPN, and connect phone to your Home Wi-Fi network and see if you get the pop-up 
• Please confirm APP version and device firmware are both up  to date 

• If you watch Live view locally when the phone connects to Home Wi-Fi  network, you should be able to stream continuously.
• But if you stream Live view remotely when the phone is on LTE mobile data or non- local Wi-Fi network, app may ask you if you want to continue every few mins to save the mobile data  like FAQ explained here:  Why can't I view the live stream of the Tapo camera continuously?

@NelsonM Thank you,
1, Please enable Dignose mode and when  'asks me to tap the screen to update' happen again, get the log of camera: 

How to Get the Log of Tapo Camera?

This may occur when there is some unstable on your WiFi, please ensure other device has stable connection when this error occurs. 

2. May I know did  you stream locally(when phone is connected to home Wi-Fi network) or remotely (when phone is connected to outside Wi-Fi network/ mobile data)?

'asks me if I want to continue watching' this will occur when you stream remotely when phone is connected to non- local wifi/ using mobile data 

If  possible, you may share a photo of error on VLC player.
