Sound outside the game

Tracking game pause and resume

To make the game sound stop when the game loses focus, use the game_api_pause and game_api_resume events from the Yandex Games SDK. The platform sends these events when the gameplay needs to be paused or resumed.

Subscribe to the game_api_pause and game_api_resume events in the game code:

1. When game_api_pause is received, turn off the game sound and pause the gameplay.
2. Wait for the game_api_resume event and resume the sound playback and the game.

Verification method

Moderation checks if the game sound stops:

• When minimizing the browser window on a computer or an app on a phone.
• After switching to another tab in the same browser window.
• In the browser in the tab selection menu.

If the sound stops in all three cases, the game will be approved. It is not considered a violation if:

• The sound does not stop immediately, but within 2 seconds after leaving the game tab.

• The game sound does not stop after clicking on an ad banner and moving to the offer tab.

• On iOS, in the tab selection menu, the game sound continues to play.
