Google Home’s latest fix solves a major headache for Tapo camera owners

Credit: Joe Maring / Android Authority 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.
