Play Music While Watching Videos
The Music Button allows you to listen to your personal music playlists while watching videos in the mobile app. This feature enhances your viewing experience by letting you set the mood with your own soundtrack.

Open the Mobile App:
Launch the app on your iOS or Android device.
Start a Video:
Navigate to the video you want to watch and begin playback.

You can then play a suggested playlist if we have one to recommend, or you can minimize the app (it will continue playing in the background).
Open your preferred music app (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music, etc.).
Play Your Music:
Select and play the music or playlist you wish to listen to.
Return to the Video:
Switch back to our app to continue watching the video with your chosen music playing simultaneously.
Ensure both apps are updated to their latest versions for optimal performance.
Adjusting Audio Levels
You can control the volume levels of both the video and your music independently:

Balancing the audio levels allows for a customized experience, ensuring neither the video nor the music overpowers the other.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I control music playback, such as skipping to the next song, within the video app?
A: No, music playback controls are managed within your chosen music app.
Q: Will the video, audio and music play simultaneously?
A: Yes, both audio streams will play together, allowing you to enjoy your music alongside the video.
Q: Does this feature work with all videos?
A: Yes, Background audio can be used with any video within the app, even if we don't have a suggested playlist for you.
Q: Can I use this feature without an internet connection?
A: Both the video and music apps require an internet connection unless the content has been downloaded for offline use.
Q: Does this work with Airplay or Chromecast?
A: No. With the way that Chromecast and Airplay work, you can only cast the source video and audio from one destination at a time. Since the music is coming from a separate app, it won't carry over to your TV device as well. This feature works when enjoying our content on your mobile device directly.
