My PC can play a bunch of audios at once, like multiple youtube videos, Spotify, a DVD etc. But why can’t my phone play, for example, Spotify at the same time as I’m watching a video. I understand why multiple tabs can’t play music at the same time but what about different apps?
Thanks yall

Phones can. The OS just allows apps to request dedicated audio access that pauses other app audio. And most developers choose this, because they want you to hear their content uninterrupted and assume this helps the users. And I would agree in most cases. The redreader reddit app I’m using does not do this. And I must admit, kind of annoying.
Here’s the info the android version: https://developer.android.com/media/optimize/audio-focus
Windows I imagine assumed the users will use the volume mixer to do it themselves.
