I am incorporating a timer into an app and would like to keep the screen on even if the user has auto lock enabled. I know this is possible with extensions in Classic, but is it possible in cross platform version? Thanks.

Of course if you have sleep mode at 30 mins, the screen will stay on for 30 mins, right? How do we expect the users of our app to adjust their screen timeout to 30 miutes as well? I believe we can serve our people better than that.

Have you considered using an alert or similar to prompt your users to watch in full screen? What sort of app are creating and how are you using video as part of it?

Of course if you have sleep mode at 30 mins, the screen will stay on for 30 mins, right? Yes. I agree with you. Many users are only able to dial a number on your phone. I should service be better? It is a question of Philosophy. I know how to use 1% of the phones features, but if I need something that I can not be lazy and learn it. The user does not wish to think and wants to service has always been on the 100%? This can never be. The user can buy the iPhone 11, but if the user really does not think that such a phone and it will seem unfriendly.

I figured it out guys! Acetech, you gave me the solution except it wasn’t in this message thread, but another thread. It was a really simple straight forward method involving the webviewer and looping with video asset. So thank you for your generosity in sharing on here. Domhall, I’m making an app that reads God’s words randomly. The video is to keep the screen on and the app running.

Hello! Could you please also give us the link of the post with the solution? Thank you!

[image] Media Files (audio and video) Questions about Thunkable I created a list with URLs and I used web view to play the video on the screen. It is not perfect but it is working fine. The veb view gets random URLs from my list. [image] How to make video player which play video in loop Questions about Thunkable I’m trying to do the same - where can I input the hmtl5 code? In blocks somewhere? In blocks under “Control” there is a “repeat 10 times” command but I can’t figure out how to make it wait until the video has played and then start it again. I’m using a short video clip inside the app.

You’re welcome! I went with this method instead for my app… check it out: Keep the screen active

Just amazing! :grinning: Exactly what I was looking for! Can you give me also a clue on how to get a trigger for this on a screen? Thank you!

I’ll share it in: Keep the screen active
