Simple question about Media tab

nnjjoe50 — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 21:48:59 GMT

So, real simple, but I can't find the answer. If I have music playing on my system (a speaker group), but my hub has gone to ambient mode, how can I get it to display what's currently playing. I initiated the music from the hub by saying play music on speaker group, but it went to ambient (slide show). If I go to the media tab, it shows what's playing as a tile, but I'd like to maximize it to full screen. I tap, nothing. I even saw that if I long tap, i get a menu with Open and Dismiss. Open does nothing. Dismiss closes the tile. Is Open supposed to maximize it or is there another way to do it, or is it just not possible?

Thanks.

Hi nnjjoe50,

Thanks for reaching out.

Have you already tried to access and turn off "Screen Timeout"? Here's how:

Open the Home app.
Select your device.
Select "Display Settings" and turn off "Screen Timeout".

Let us know how it goes.

Best,

Princess
