iPad app interferes with background music

[NicAU]

The camera doesn't have a mic, so why does it stop background music (specifically the tunein radio app) on my iPad when I open the Arlo app and view the live stream?  This usually happens when I open another app that uses sound.  Is it something to do with the amount of data used?

Arlo doesn't, but the major reason for the sw upgrade is the new Q cam to be released.

The new Q cam has 2way audio.

Thanks TomMac.  Sorry but what's sw..?  

I'm running arlo, not Q, so there's no reason for the app to interfere with sound on the iPad, is there?

Should have been more clear  SW = software.

The browser, ios, and android apps were all recently updated to merge in the new coming Q CAM with ARLO to work together...

Q cam does have audio and needs the mic & speaker

I would assume it shouldn't effect the music, but due to the possible audio channel ( talk-listen ) it may be working sort of like when you use a external mic/earpiece

and taking over the use of same.

that makes sense thanks for that 😄
