IMPORTANT: Please make sure you are on the latest Dream App and iPhone/Android versions for the best background audio experience.
Background audio allows you to look at other apps or lock your phone and still hear audio from your baby’s room in the background.
Simply go to the “Home” tab, click the up arrow next to your connected Cam to show the dropdown menu options (if it’s not already shown). Then, click on the little arrow next to "Cam Audio" and you'll see the options on, off or background audio.
Here’s a breakdown of your Cam audio features:
Cam Audio: On
- Your Owlet Cam’s audio will play through your mobile device while you’re in the Owlet app.
Cam Audio: Background
- You Owlet Cam’s audio will play through your mobile device, even outside of the Owlet app.
- When background audio is enabled, your camera status light will be red. Reference our status lights article for more information
Cam Audio: Off
- Your Owlet Cam’s audio is muted on your mobile device
