Hi,
Our Tapo cam support to be viewed with the Tapo app continuously if your phone connects to the same Wi-Fi network as the camera, and to ensure effective management and allocation of cloud service resources and provide a stable monitoring experience for all users, a time limitation is implemented for live streaming remotely now, but you are free to access the Live View again after tapping 'Yes/Continues'.

I totally understand your frustration and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Our team is committed to continuously improving our products to ensure the best performance possible. I moved this conversation into the ‘Feature Request (Tapo)' area for better visibility, and I'll keep logging the feature request and pass it along to the team to evaluate.

If other users have the same request, please vote on this thread.

Best Regards
