How to share my Tapo Smart Devices with family

With the Device Sharing feature, you can invite your families to manage the smart devices together.

Please Note:

• Tapo Cameras, Doorbells, and Robot Vacuums may be shared with up to five (5) TP-Link Accounts, and Other Smart Home Devices may be shared with up to eight (8) other accounts.
• These accounts can access the Live View, Talk, Voice Call, Pan/Tilt Control, and the SD Card Video features of the camera, but they cannot access the Tapo Care cloud storage or change other settings on the camera.
• Shared Doorbells will also provide quick response and Ring/Call Features
• Please ensure that the firmware of your Tapo device and your Tapo App is up to date.
• Some devices may not currently support the device-sharing feature, but the Tapo app will inform you that the sharing feature is not supported by the device.

Step 1.

Let the invitees launch the Tapo app, and choose “Sign up” to create their own TP-Link ID first.

Step 2.

Here we take the Tapo P110 as an example.

On your own home page, long-press the device you want to share, then tap Share. Or on the Me page, tap Device Sharing and select the device you want to share.

Step 3.

Enter the invitee’s TP-Link ID, then tap SHARE.

*Note: For Tapo cameras, invitees have limited permissions to control the cameras.

Step 4.

Let the invitee log in to the Tapo app, go to Me>Device Sharing to check the invitation under Devices From Others, and tap ACCEPT. After that, the invitee can manage this shared device now.
