Screen timeout whilst using media

Help Fairphone 4

Hello

I am new-ish to fairphone 4 and I have had a repetitive issue of the screen timing out whilst I am using media, e.g whilst a video is playing (this has occured on Chrome, YouTube and Instagram apps) and also whilst trying to make audio recordings (using the voice recorder it came with leading to recording failure). When the screen times out, the audio also stops playback/stops recording. I don’t really want to change the general screen timeout because I am happy with that when I am not using media, but I can’t find any other setting to change this so it doesn’t time out and so stop playback/recording which doesn’t require me to touch the screen but I am still actively trying to use the phone. This has never been an issue on any other device.

Is it possible?

Thanks!

Sophie

On my Fairphone 5 you go to the app Settings,
tab on Display
tab on Screen timeout and choose there the timeout you want.

When watching YT it should not timeout at all. I have set it to 1 Min and can easily watch YT videos for longer, so this should be something else.

Edit: @Sophie_DnB do you use battery saver mode? Else check battery optamization for those apps
