Audio stops when phone goes dark/screen locks
Hello,
I have created an audiobook in storyline. The only issue is that the audio stops when the phone turns dark or the screen locks. Is there a way to continue playing the audio when the screen is locked? I'd like it to function similarly to how a podcast or other audio works.
Is this achievable with articulate?
Hi Kaitlyn, it's not something SL has a fix for, but it is a well known issue throughout the wider web development community. It requires a special script to force the phone to stay awake.
You would need a JavaScript developer to implement this in Storyline: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Wake_Lock_API
Thanks, Sam. I was afraid this might be the case. Thanks for the script link. Super helpful!
