Posted on by 2

I have a tool like LMS. In that videos will be playing my requirement is when user switched to different tab or screen other than that power apps video screen, the video should automatically pause. After the user come to the power apps video screen, the video should start play again.

    Hi @Sareka 

     

    Identify the screen that contains the video player. Let's assume it's called "VideoScreen".

     

    Select the "VideoScreen" and go to the Properties pane.

     

    In the Properties pane, locate the OnVisible property and add the following formula:

    Set(VideoPlaying, true)

    This formula sets a variable called "VideoPlaying" to true when the screen becomes visible.

     

    Locate the OnHidden property of the "VideoScreen" and add the following formula:

    Set(VideoPlaying, false)

    This formula sets the "VideoPlaying" variable to false when the screen becomes hidden.

     

    Now, select the video player control on the "VideoScreen".

     

    In the Properties pane, locate the Start property of the video player control and add the following variable:

    VideoPlaying

     

     

    Thanks!

    I tried this before its not working. It will work inside the power apps. but my requirement is when user switched to different tab in google chrome or microsoft edge the video should pause because the power itself will open in tab in google chrome or microsoft edge
