How do I create a mjpeg camera card that streams without clicking the card?

Configuration
1

Currently, the card is just a still picture until I click on it. What do I need to do for the picture to update without clicking on it? Below is what I have configured:

configuration.yaml:

camera:
  - platform: mjpeg
    name: FrontDoor
    mjpeg_url: http://mywebsite:8080/nphMotionJpeg?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Clarity

Card:

entity: camera.frontdoor
type: picture-entity

I tried the below card config, but the image still doesn’t update unless I click on it.

type: picture-glance
title: Front Door
entities: []
camera_image: camera.frontdoor
2

This option: Picture entity card - Home Assistant

camera_view
(string)(Optional)
“live” will show the live view if stream is enabled.
Default value:
auto
