Background listening mode needed
Sini
Hello,
We have several important courses which use Zenler application, but there is a severe hinder while using Zenler!
A deep wish for otherwise so great Zenler application!
Please, do allow us to listen to the courses in the background!
What do I mean?
While I am listening to my course and would like e.g. write notes in Word at the same time!, at this moment it is unfortunatelly not possible. If I open Word, Zenler shuts down.
Background listening would also allow safely to listen to the Zenler course while one is e.g preparing meal or has time to go out to walk the dog. Phone could be safely kept in a pocket, phone case closed and the screen would be safe on the go as well!
E.g. Kajabi works fine in the background and one can continue e.g. writing notes on an other application.
A half of the screen is not enough while the space for the note writing is then too small on a tiny phone screen.
Looking forward to use my Zenler courses more effectively!
Would like to read about your opinion of this enhancement!
Thank you!

Hi Sini, this appears to be specific to your device and not a Zenler thing. Please check your device and / or browser sound and video play settings. Personally, I am able to listen to a course and take notes in Word, or Google docs, even if using a different tab that completely covers the Zenler course tab. I use a Macbook Pro.

Dr. Ariele Hi Dr.Ariele, Thank you for your comment! Unfortunatelly in my Samsung Galaxy A52 phone (Android 14) Zenler application will shut down, in case I open any what so ever other application. It looks like Zenler would like to be the boss and would not allow any other application to be used at the same time.

Hi Sini. So this is about ease of use on the app itself. FYI, Most mobile applications work in the way you are describing that the Zenler app works. YouTube and high quality music apps are the exception (they have the option to shrink and continue playing). My guess is that very few people are entirely taking their Zenler hosted courses AND taking their notes all on the same mobile deivce, but hopefully the tech team sees this request and works on it as they are able if it is a priority.
