# Listening to Audio in a Browser
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To listen to audio being played by OwnTone in a browser, follow these
|
||
|
|
steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Start playing audio in OwnTone.
|
||
|
|
2. In the web interface, activate the stream in the output menu by clicking
|
||
|
|
on the icon :material-broadcast: next to HTTP Stream.
|
||
|
|
After a few seconds, the audio should play in the background [^1].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{: class="zoom" }
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the streaming option to work, MP3 encoding must be supported by
|
||
|
|
`libavcodec`. If it is not, a message will appear in the log file. For example,
|
||
|
|
on Debian or Ubuntu, MP3 encoding support is provided by the package
|
||
|
|
`libavcodec-extra`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[^1]: On iOS devices, playing audio in the background when the device is locked
|
||
|
|
is not supported in a private browser tab.
