Hi All,

Please try to force close the Tapo app on your phone and then reopen it, or reboot your phone, and then check if you can watch the cloud video clips on your Tapo app.

Best Regards

  @ScottishSuzy I have the same issue, started yesterday and it is still happening.  
Tapo C210, using Tapo Care.
Did the resetting things etc, even reformatted SD card thinking that was the issue...and then I realised that Tapo Care is storing the images on the TP-Link cloud.

Checked and I can view the short video clips captured from the SD card, but not from the cloud.

So I assume the issue is with their Cloud. 

If they don't fix it soon it is not worth subscribing to Tapo care.

Hi All,
1. What's the model number and OS version of your phone? What's the Tapo app version?
Please update the Tapo app to the latest one and check if it helps.

 

2. Can you send us a picture of the black screen on the Tapo app when playing the cloud video clips?

 

Best Regards

Thanks.  Don't have an Android phone, so can't check. 

Firstly, my menus were not as you described there was no "Support" in the "Me" menu that I could see.  Although I could have been looking in the wrong spot! :)

But eventually got to the area to send the logs and feedback.  So Logs have been sent.  Subject is "Forum ID 710344 TT33GFC"

 

Menus were more like - me/help & feedback/Cameras/feedback/selected camera/next/

Made no difference for me.  Still won't play the clips from the cloud.
