    Hi @rawadm

     

    Timers are screen specific.

     

    What might be possible is to use context variables to move remaining timer value to the next screen and use this as a timer amount in the next screen.

    Hi @rawadm,

     

    I have reproduced this, in the documentation, there is an explaination about AutoPause property:

    AutoPause – Whether an audio or video clip automatically pauses if the user navigates to a different screen.

     

    Setting this property to false doesn't prevent the autopause. I think it is like @Anonymous said, timer is screen specific. I will right a feedback about the documentation. This quite confusing.

     

    Regards,

    Mona
