Smart Pause is a feature that can be found on certain smartphones and tablets, including Samsung devices. It utilizes the front-facing camera of the device to detect whether the user is looking at the screen or not. When enabled, Smart Pause automatically pauses video playback when you look away from the screen, and resumes when you look back.
To activate Smart Pause on a Samsung device, you need to go to the Settings menu. From the Home screen, locate the Menu icon (usually represented by three vertical dots) and tap on it. Then, navigate to the Settings option and tap on it. In the Settings menu, you will find various categories, and one of them is called “My device.” Tap on that category, and you should see an option called “Smart screen.” Tap on it to access the Smart screen settings.
Inside the Smart screen settings, you will find the option to enable or disable Smart Pause. It might be labeled as “Smart Pause” or something similar, depending on the specific device and its software version. Once you locate the Smart Pause option, simply toggle the switch to enable it.
Now, whenever you are watching a video on your device and you look away from the screen, the Smart Pause feature will detect this through the front camera and automatically pause the video playback. This can be useful when you need to temporarily divert your attention from the screen without manually pausing the video.
Smart Pause is particularly handy in situations where you may get interrupted frequently or need to multitask while watching videos. For example, if you are watching a cooking tutorial and need to glance at a recipe or answer a phone call, Smart Pause can automatically pause the video for you, ensuring that you don’t miss any important information.
It’s important to note that Smart Pause relies on the front-facing camera to detect your gaze, so it may not be as effective in low-light conditions or if the camera is obstructed. Additionally, not all devices have this feature, so it’s worth checking if your specific device supports Smart Pause.
Smart Pause is a convenient feature that utilizes the front camera of your device to automatically pause video playback when you look away from the screen. It can be activated in the Smart screen settings of your device and provides a hands-free way of managing video playback, allowing you to focus on other tasks without manually pausing the video.
