Keep Netflix floating above LingoSlam.

3

Confirm each handoff so both timelines stay aligned.

Before you start

Prepare the episode once.

LingoSlam needs the episode's timed subtitles and learning moments before the mobile timeline can work.

  1. 1

    Generate the course on desktop

    Open the episode in Netflix with the LingoSlam extension, then choose Generate course.
  2. 2

    Use the same LingoSlam account

    The mobile course must be synced to the account used on desktop.
  3. 3

    Open the episode on mobile

    If it is not available yet, LingoSlam shows Course not loaded and sends you back to the desktop-generation step.
iOS & iPadOS

iPhone and iPad

Netflix PiP requires iOS or iPadOS 14 or later. Netflix says PiP is unavailable on iPhone and iPad with its ad-supported experience.

Install LingoSlam

  1. 1

    Open LingoSlam in Safari

    Use Safari's Share or More menu.
  2. 2

    Add it to the Home Screen

    Choose Add to Home Screen, enable Open as Web App, and tap Add.

Apple's web-app instructions

Start the episode

  1. 1

    Open the prepared LingoSlam course

    Leave it ready at the beginning of the episode.
  2. 2

    Start the same episode in Netflix

    Enter PiP by tapping its PiP control or leaving Netflix while playback is running.
  3. 3

    Return to LingoSlam

    Start the LingoSlam session at the same point as Netflix. Move or resize the floating video if it covers the lesson.

Netflix PiP requirements

Android

Phone and tablet

Netflix PiP requires Android 8.0 or later and a device that supports it. Larger tablets may also offer split-screen mode.

Install and enable PiP

  1. 1

    Install the LingoSlam web app

    In Chrome, tap More, then Add to home screen → Install.
  2. 2

    Allow Netflix Picture in Picture

    Open Settings → Apps → Special app access → Picture-in-picture, select Netflix, and enable it.
  3. 3

    Start both timelines together

    Start Netflix, switch to LingoSlam so Netflix enters PiP, and begin the prepared course at the same point.
During the episode

When a learning moment is ready

01

LingoSlam stops

The lesson clock and countdown pause automatically.

02

Pause Netflix

Tap Netflix's floating PiP window, pause it, then confirm in LingoSlam.

03

Complete the lesson

Read the teaching card and answer its question.

04

Continue together

Resume Netflix first, then confirm in LingoSlam so its timeline continues.

What Pause controls

In same-device mode, LingoSlam can pause only its own subtitle and lesson timeline. Netflix must be paused from its PiP controls because iOS and Android do not let the PWA control the separate Netflix app.

Optional pairing

Keep your phone as the controller.

Pairing is still available and is separate from same-device mode. In paired mode, commands go to Netflix playing in the supported desktop browser.

  1. 1

    Start LingoSlam on desktop

    Open Netflix and choose Use phone as controller.
  2. 2

    Pair the phone

    Scan the QR code or enter the six-character room code.
  3. 3

    Control the desktop player

    Play, Pause, Repeat, supported seeking, answers, and mode switching continue through the paired controller.
