I did an Everyplay video recording with the face camera and the background music and sound effects are distorted, what’s going on?

Everyplay uses your microphone with the face camera. What you are hearing is echoing audio from your speaker going into the recording. When using Everyplay with the face camera, the overall volume is automatically lowered by the game. If your device’s speaker is still on a very loud volume, trying turning it down, so that it doesn’t echo into the recording.

Why does the sound go quiet when I play Scream Mode or start an Everyplay recording with the Face Camera?

The master volume is intentionally lowered during Scream Mode so that it doesn’t interfere with the microphone and make your avatar move.

 

During an Everyplay recording with the Face Camera, the volume is automatically lowered so that it doesn’t create echoing in the recording, due to the microphone picking up audio from the game.

Why doesn’t Scream Mode work? My avatar doesn’t move at all when I scream into the microphone.

Scream Mode requires access to the microphone, which requires your permission. If you previously denied this permission request popup from within the game, you will need to enable it manually. To enable it manually, you will need to open your device’s OS (operating system) settings. Navigate to the entry the application Oopstacles, then enable its permission to use the microphone.

I am hearing echoing and distortion in Scream Mode, what’s going on?

What you are hearing is echoing audio from your speaker going into the recording. On most mobile phones, the microphone and speaker are on separate sides of the device. However, on some tablets, they might be close to each other. Try lowering your speaker volume and adjusting the sensitivity slider.

 

For best results, it’s recommended to use headphones with Scream Mode.

What game data is saved to the cloud?
