TL;DR
- TP-Link Tapo smart cameras are now showing live video feeds directly on camera tiles in the Google Home app.
- The update resolves a bug introduced during Google’s 2025 Public Preview rollout that broke in-app third-party live streams.
- User reports confirm feeds on the Tapo C210, C220, C500, TC82, and TD-25 Doorbell, though a few models remain pending.
For years, Google Home has promised to become the center of your smart home, but the experience hasn’t always matched that vision. While Google continues expanding support for third-party devices, one frustrating gap has lingered: many Tapo cameras could be added to the Google Home app but wouldn’t actually display a live feed. That finally appears to be changing, with users now reporting that live streams are once again working for a growing list of Tapo cameras.
