Describe the issue you are experiencing

While using the area card option that should show the camera streaming as background instead of a fixed image, the video stream is not working while If i use an image entity card and I set it to “live”, I can correctly see the rstp stream of motioneye camera (but if i set it to “auto” I get the same behaviour of the area card: no stream).

Describe the behavior you expected

See the camera stream instead of the image as card background

1. add lovelace area card
2. select show camera instead of image

State of relevant entities

The camera is an rstp stream provided by motion eye. The stream works properly on image cards if the stream is set to "live" while with "auto" is not working.

In the area card is not possible to set it to live so I suppose is behaving like the "auto" setting is configured for it.

Problem-relevant frontend configuration

type: area
area: frontdoor

Still present in 2023.06.2

Is the lack of response an indicator of it being by design? If so, then it seems like the documentation should be updated to reflect that. https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/area/#show_camera

show_camera boolean (optional, default: false)
Changes the area picture to a live feed of the camera set for the area.

Or if "live feed" means update every 10 seconds, then would be accurate.

Either way, I really wish the area cards were live feeds as it'd be far more useful.

I'm using the default settings for the card.

This still does not work as I believe it should.

#18643 proposes for area card to support the camera_view: live similar to how other picture cards can do.
